LATEST NEWS & SERVICE SCHEDULE UPDATES 2023
UPDATE MARCH 27th - Looking at the long range forecast it looks like it's time to start fertilizing the lawns! Because of the Easter long weekend we will officially get started April 2nd. We will be starting with the older parts of Georgetown first, then Delrex area, then Georgetown South. This should take at least 2 weeks, depending on the weather. With just under 2 weeks to do the rest of our customers, we should be done all the Spring fertilizings by the end of April. Then about 2 weeks of seeding before we start on the weed controls by Mid-May. Check back here April 7th for our weekly updates which we add right here.....
UPDATE MARCH 18th - First of all, THANK YOU to everyone that renewed already for the season. It looks like we will likely fill up to capacity fairly early this year, so if you haven't renewed yet, please do so soon. Unfortunately, the deadline for both the 10% discount and the 5% discount have passed, so if you have yet to renew please make sure to contact us regarding pricing for the 2024 season. The biggest question we get this time of year is "When are you starting?" A couple weeks ago it looked like we would get a real early start, but now looking at the long range forecast we will likely be looking at a regular start date. The temperatures look very cold over the next week and very wet the following week. We will reassess April 1st and see if we can start sometime that week or the week after. We have started as early as March 15th and as late as April 25th and it doesn't make a difference on the outcome of the season. If anything, I think we had some of the best weed control outcomes the year we were forced to start very late due to COVID-19 shutdowns. The first service will be a slow-release granular fertilizer for everyone. Once everyone is done with the Spring Fertilizing, we do all our seeding over the following 2 weeks. PLEASE REMEMBER, whenever we do start, it takes us 3-4 weeks to get through everyone for the first service. Check back here April 1st for the next update.
