- As a reminder, turf is maintained at approximately 4.75 inches during the summer months to promote healthier turf and improve drought tolerance.
IPM / Fertilization:
- The next Integrated Pest Management (IPM) application is scheduled for the third week of August (weather permitting).
- Chinch bug activity has begun throughout the area. We also recommend applying preventive grub treatment, as grub activity typically increases during September and October.
- Since our maintenance contract includes spot treatments only, we are offering residents an optional preventive Chinch Bug and Grub Treatment to help protect their lawns from significant turf damage. Cost: $125 per application.
