CURRENT TREATMENT Spring 2026
Early spring is continuing the wide weather variations. Warm to cold patterns are happening every several days. So long as we get rain or snow, the first treatment will do well.
Due to the extreme weather the 2nd half of 2025, most lawns have dead spots. Reseeding will seem to be a priority, but you should wait until after I have been there, rain fell, and you scratch up the soil well when seeding. This will break up the crabgrass control so your seed can germinate. But keep in mind, you may get crabgrass in those areas later, then you might be right back where you started.
The first treatment will really thicken up most lawns on its own. Lawns with a lot of sand or thatch may experience more permanent damage that will require renovation. It is the natural result of harsh weather conditions in an area that has statistically been cool and wet.
For this reason, turf-type Tall Fescue is becoming a popular variety, as it is able to withstand heat and drought.
