If you remember from my last spring lawn care article I was using Roundup® For Lawns weed killer to ensure our grass was ready for springtime fun!

Our Experience Using the Roundup for Lawns:

In past spring and summer seasons the weed control was a constant chore to keep up with. This season we liked the easy application of the Roundup For Lawns and found the directions easy to understand. My husband and I liked discovering what product was best for our lawn, which has Zoysiagrass.

What Formula is Best for your Grass?

Northern formula: This weed killer helps control dandelions, crabgrass, clover and more. One product will kill 253 different weeds!

Southern formula: This formula is perfect for Florida! It works well with southern grasses such as Floratam and Centipedegrass.

The Roundup For Lawns formula will help with our lawn care and will kill the weeds, NOT THE GRASS!

Our Spring Grass is Ready for our Favorite Activities:

Our front lawn gets a lot of traffic from my 11-year old daughter. From kicking her soccer ball to running through the sprinklers in the summer, our lawn is now ready for the warm weather. Now my daughter doesn’t sit in the grass picking dandelions and asking why we have so many weeds!

We also love our front porch adjacent to the lawn to kick back and watch her play while we eat and listen to music. The gorgeous green grass makes it an enjoyable part of our home to enjoy on lazy Florida afternoons!

I’d love to hear how your spring grass could be improved with Roundup For Lawns and what activities you plan on doing this season!

Certain types of grass can give a blueish hue when dehydrated

If a home’s grass begins to take on a blueish hue, then chances are it is starved for water. Usually, the homeowner will be able to see the footprints of people walking across their yard if their area is experiencing drought like conditions. When this coloring starts to happen, the homeowner will need to take action and get a few freestanding sprinklers from the local hardware store. If this is an ongoing issue for the area, the homeowner may want to think about have a sprinkler system installed. A sprinkler system will allow the homeowner to set timers and have their grass watered at the same time every day.

A light green coloring can mean grass cutting was too low

Having a lawn that is light green will usually signify that the lawn has been cut too low or scalped as it is referred to in the industry. The best way to combat this issue is by using a professional lawn mower on a bimonthly basis. A professional in the lawn cutting industry will know the right height your grass should be for the variety of grass and your climate. Letting professionals handle this task can help a homeowner focus on more important things.

White grass can indicate disease in spring lawn care

The white coloring on a lawn is an indication that there is disease present on the lawn. This type of disease will usually arise from improper watering practices or mowing with very dull blades. Hiring professionals to mow the lawn will help to eliminate this disease in a hurry. Be sure to ask them about when the best time to water the lawn is.

By taking action as soon as signs of lawn distress happen, the homeowner can reduce the amount of damage done. Paying professionals to mow and maintain a lawn is money well spent.
