Lawn Care Tips

Just like you probably do at home, you should mark your calendars at work for an annual spring cleaning session, too. Being proactive with maintenance, cleaning, and repairs on your commercial property can help save you some serious time, money, and stress. A thorough spring cleaning can help prevent future damage, ensure safety, and make your customers more comfortable, so they keep coming back.

One of the most widely used types of turfgrass in the greater Pensacola area — and across the Florida panhandle — is centipede grass. One of the positive things about centipede grass is how simple and inexpensive it is to manage in comparison to other varieties that grow around here. However, with that ease and convenience come some weaknesses and special requirements, too.

It’s already been a pretty unique winter in the Pensacola area, and there’s still time left for more unusual activity from Mother Nature. But, homeowners and business owners across the region need to start looking ahead to the fast-approaching dawn of the spring growing season and giving some thought to how to best handle lawn care in the coming months.

The unusually chilly winter weather we’ve been having in Pensacola makes it difficult to think about springtime being around the corner. Still, the spring season will be here before we know it. And if you love those warmer days and take pride in a beautiful spring lawn, you’re probably already starting to think about what you can do now to set the stage for a lush and green spring lawn.

Few feelings can compare to the sense of satisfaction that comes with completing a job well done. Of course, if you know you’ve managed to complete that job faster and more easily because you worked smarter and not harder, it feels even better.

Don’t worry: holiday cheer doesn’t have to lead to lawn decay and tears.

Heading into the new year is always a great time to take stock of where you are and where you want to be. If you’re a homeowner or commercial property manager, one aspect of your life you’re likely to consider is how your property looks and whether or not that matches the image you want people to see.

As autumn draws to a close, you’ve probably noticed your lawn is finally slowing down from its peak growth during warmer weather. That means it’s time to shift some of your focus from the lawn to the other plants that help decorate and enhance the property, including trees, shrubs, and bushes.

Your children have been behaving all year in hopes that Santa has them on the “nice” list, come December. (Well, ok, let’s say they’ve been trying to behave). But, did you know that you need to be concerned about keeping yourself off the “naughty” list too?

The mild winters of Northwest Florida make it easy to slip into football season and holiday planning without realizing cool weather and unexpected cold snaps are on the way.

While your lawn doesn’t need to be prepped like regions that experience months of snow or freezing temperatures, cooler weather does affect the grass in the Pensacola area.

In fact, your lawn will go dormant like a hibernating bear for many months as cooler air approaches.
