Before you pass over or dismiss this blog…consider the fact of any spring seeding you might be planning for your lawn.  Then, read on. The fact is a lot of people read last week’s post about preventative measures for crabgrass…the fact of putting down a good pre-emergent week killer now, prior to crab germinating and

The last two years have been particularly bad for crabgrass in yards, which always leads to the inevitable question about how to prevent it in the first place. Well, the answer to that is to put down a pre-emergent herbicide with your first application of fertilizer in the spring…right about now, in mid to late

While it’s true about the old saying that the “early bird gets the worm“, in landscaping terms it could also means “it gets the weeds”, too.

On behalf of Ever-Green Turf and Landscape it’s my pleasure to introduce and welcome you to another growing season…another season of regular updates and information from our Ever-Green website.

We recently wrote that September/October is a perfect time to seed new lawns, or bare spots, for emergence next spring as a healthy, vibrant-looking yard. We also mentioned that because of heavier-than-normal rainfall during the past summer there was more inherent ground moisture than normal.  And while that’s true, with the periodic 80-degree days we’ve

It’s why we put up with those long months of winter…cold weather, snow and ice.  We long, and we live, for summer! Compared to winter, it offers so much, especially for the person who feels best when surrounded by the “green” and “growing” of summer…lush grass, brilliant gardens of color, and even the fruits of
