Children and adults enjoy walking across soft, springy grass.  Green is a restful color and pleasant to look at - particularly if you have the chance to partake of an early cup of coffee outside in the morning. (Try it tomorrow morning if you don't believe me.) So, how do you keep your grass soft, springy and green on the hottest days?

When grass is coming out of dormancy in the spring, the tendency is to feed heavily creating an instant green lawn. However, heavy feeding creates excess top growth at the expense of the root system. Consequently, although you mow often to keep the lawn in shape, the grass cannot put energy into the roots so that it can survive the heat of the summer. When choosing a fertilizer this spring, look for timed-release. Timed-release fertilizers provide a controlled release of the nitrogen nutrients, so the grass doesn't get that sudden influx of high nitrogen. A timed-release nitrogen fertilizer yeilds benefits to the grass plant and prevents the release of excess nitrogen that can contaminate the area watershed.

Do you feel as though your lawn is taking control of your weekends? For many homeowners the ritual of mowing and fertilizing cycles takes over, so they contract with a commercial company to take over the treatments, leaving the homeowner just to do the mowing.  This may seem like a straight forward solution, but for any service, you have to pay a hefty price.  Most services require a full year contract and will treat the lawn every month.  Many do-it-yourself lawn care programs also advocate a monthly treatment which takes time and money.

Greenview prefers that you have your weekends to yourself for fun.  They created a system whereby the slow release of chemicals requires only two applications of fertilizer for the entire growing season.
