Fescue Lawns: This round we are applying an organic liquid fertilizer. It will help maintain good color, and build up beneficial organisms in the soil.
Mowing: Fescue lawns need to be mowed every 7-10 days at a height of 2.5”-3.5” (raise height during dry, hot periods).
Watering: Fescue needs around 1” of irrigation or rainfall per week. Water early in the morning to minimize patch disease
Bermuda and Zoysia Lawns: This is our first granular fertilizer application to feed the lawn and stimulate a dark green color. We are applying a balanced, slow release fertilizer.
Mowing: Bermuda and Zoysia lawns have come out of dormancy and a regular mowing schedule (every7-10 days) is needed. Bermuda and Zosyia lawns should be mowed at a height of 1”-2” (raise slightly during dry periods). Now is the time for core aeration, if you have not already scheduled, call our office for a quote.
Watering: Bermuda and Zoysia lawns need 1” of rainfall or irrigation equivalent per week. It is best to water early in the morning to minimize disease outbreaks. It is best to water deeply 2-3 times per week instead of every day. If you notice unusual spots or patches in your lawn you may have a disease. We can treat this with a fungicide for an additional charge. Call or email if you see any signs of disease.

Round 2 Lawn Care Tips
Centipede Lawn Tips: Right now we are focusing on preventing weeds for the upcoming season, and building a strong root system. Control of existing weeds in the lawn is minimal at this time because centipede lawns are very sensitive to herbicides during the early spring.
Mowing: Centipede lawns are dormant in Metro Atlanta and do not need frequent mowing. Occasional mowing is needed to help condition turf and keep it free of debris. Use a high mowing height 2.5” or more to protect the turf from cold weather and minimize weed germination.
Watering: Centipede lawns should not need supplemental watering at this time.
St. Augustine Tips: Right now we are focusing on preventing weeds for the upcoming season, and building a strong root system. Control of existing weeds is minimal at this time because St. Augustine lawns are very sensitive to herbicides during the early spring.
Mowing: St. Augustine lawns are dormant and do not need frequent mowing. Occasional mowing is needed to help condition turf and keep it free of debris. Use a high mowing height around 3” to protect the turf from cold weather and minimize weed germination.
Watering: St. Augustine lawns should not need supplemental watering at this time.

Hey Atlanta Lawn Lovers! Hopefully you have taken some time to review our new website and blog. We have been working hard this winter to update the site. With all the work to the blog we took a break from blogging. Spring is quickly approaching in Atlanta and our team is excited to continue to bring you informative blog post about lawn, trees and shrubs.
Our first blog of 2012 is dedicated to lawn weeds! We found this interesting publication that gave 10 reasons to control weeds. Hope you enjoy this quick read and don’t forget now is the time to be applying pre-emergents to Atlanta Lawns. If you are on our 8 Treatment Weed Control and Fertilization Program you are already getting these important pre-emergents.
TOP 10 REASONS TO CONTROL WEEDS
Common Winter Lawn Weed:
Most of Metro Atlanta has been receiving great rainfall this summer. If you’re like most people and you’ve been getting weekly rainfall you should consider reducing your irrigation. For most lawns we typically recommend watering 3 times per week during this time of the year. With the regular rainfall we are now suggesting that your irrigation system run 2 times per week. Over watering can be just as bad for the turf as under watering. Careful monitoring is always important when changing irrigation run times. With your help we can reduce our water usage and help Georgia save this precious resource! Not to mention water is expensive so it will also help on next month’s water bill! Please let us know if you have any questions or concerns about your watering schedule by emailing info@naturesls.com or call 770-461-4156.

Judging from conversations with numerous customers, it’s apparent that many people believe rain causes and excess of Fire Ants to emerge. In reality, rain just causes fire ants to reveal that they already exist in a given area.
During hot and dry periods fire ants tunnel deep into the soil, where they sometimes go undetected, for relief from the heat. Rain forces ants to the surface to avoid drowning and the resulting sudden appearance of surface mounds lead many to believe that the rain has caused the ants to proliferate.
The most effective fire ant control program consists of broadcasting fire ant bait in the spring and fall and then following-up with mound treatments. The bait will be gathered by foraging ants and taken back to the mound, systematically killing the colony. The mound treatments are performed in accordance with the bait applications. This is a method recommended by The University of Georgia and we have noticed favorable results from its use. Fire ants may still occur, but in much lower numbers. Consider this approach if you’re tired of battling fire ants. Make sure to follow label directions. We also offer a 2 treatment Fire Ant program at Nature’s. For more information email us at info@naturesls.com.
Successful Lawns need Water!
If you have not adjusted your irrigation recently, now is a good time! Watering your lawn, trees and shrubs on a good schedule is key to success. We recommend that lawns be watered 3 times per week while trees and shrubs should be watered 1-2 times per week. Remember that watering short periods of time every day is NOT good. We encourage you to water less frequently but for longer durations. The irrigation heads that spray water on your landscape will help guide you on how long to water. Follow these instructions when setting your timer.
Rotor Heads (the heads that move around) 30-45min per run time
Mister Heads (the heads that don’t move) 10-20min per run time
If possible run turf zones 3 times per week and trees/shrubs 1-2 times.

These are only suggestions and if you notice anything unusual with your lawn you should contact our office. info@naturesls.com
