Poa Annua Control- DO IT NOW!

Its been a pretty good Fall and Winter for lawn care. Once we got through the brutal Summer and nutsedge infestations, the conditions were much better for lawn renovations and getting new grass established. So far your lawn has received the first winter feeding and we’ll do one more for our Premium Lawn Care Programs to get through the winter.

I’ll also be taking soil samples and getting a soil analysis for all new Premium Program customers.

This Fall I am trying a new product ProGrass that controls the dreaded Poa Annua weed, only on lawns that we’ve had a problem with the weed. We’ve seen this insidious weed take over problem turf areas during the Spring and up to this year there has been no effective or economical solution. The first treatment goes down late November/early December and then a follow up treatment 3 weeks later. I’m hoping for good results with ProGrass, I’m looking forward to finding out next Spring...

Although weeds are much more noticeable in the Spring, this is the time for winter broadleaf weeds to germinate such as chickweed, henbit, etc. I will be spraying a selective herbicide this month to eliminate these weeds, I like to wait until the new grass from renovations has had time to take root and become strong enough to take the stress from herbicide application. 

Next month I’ll be going over the complete turf and shrub application schedule for our programs.
