Check For Leaks
This is a great time of year to notice obvious leaks in the ground, and when I notice one, I let the customer know. Unfortunately for some of you, i’m not working for you yet! Regardless, they may be present. If there is a place in your lawn or landscaping that is always wet, you have a leak. Left alone, leaks can do more than cost you money. They leave the area constantly wet, begging for fungus. Further, when walked through or driven over by a mower, they can leave unsightly muddy areas in your lawn. If you have been telling yourself the neighbor is over watering or have come up with some other excuse for that wet spot, STOP! ITS A LEAK!
Dry Weather
In SWFL, your FloraTam lawn may go slightly yellowish in the coldest months and that’s perfectly normal. Just keep in mind, unlike northern lawns, if it’s brown, it’s dead! Keep a close watch on your lawn’s water needs this time of year but don’t over water either!
