No, we haven't forgotten about you, nor have we skipped you, (at least not intentionally). We've had a LOT of rain. And due to the timing of the bigger rain events, the soil is to the point in most places, that it can't handle anymore water. Please bear with me. I'm trying to get to everyone ASAP.

Rain on Monday, Tuesday, and Thursday of this week. I understand. It's Friday and your normal day is on Wednesday. I get it. You want your yard cut. Believe me, there's nothing more that I want than to be cutting a Wednesday yard on Wednesday. The weather is out of my control. Right now, the issue isn't necessarily the grass being too wet to mow, but rather the ground in most places is completely saturated increasing the likelihood of damaging a yard. So please bear with me. I'm getting to you.

Mowing season will be here before you know it.

It's that time of year again, aeration and overseeding time. Whether you have us do that, or someone else, let us know so we can adjust our mowing height and schedule. We typically will wait to mow a yard 1-2 weeks after it has been aerated and seeded to give the seed some time to germinate.

Just had a short video chat with Adonis Hernandez a former employee of our lawn care business. He returned to Mexico last fall and unfortunately hasn’t been able to return here for work due to visa problems involving his newest child. While in Mexico he works for the local or national police and is involved in their efforts to control cartel gangs and has participated in dangerous shootouts with the cartel which resulted in the death of a police colleague. He played audio recording of the shootout and showed me pics of vehicles destroyed in the encounter. To provide a safer environment for Adonis and his family I wish he could return here as a full time year round resident and bring the family with him. We would definitely rehire him.

With this extremely dry weather and no real end in sight, mowing will slow down drastically. With that in mind, we are looking for any jobs that may need to be done that you haven't thought about. Do you need bushes trimmed, beds cleaned and mulched, edging installed? Another service we're considering is pressure washing driveways, sidewalks, and walk ways.

Happy birthday to our co-owner, Larry Mcgowen!
