TRAFFIC ON THE TURF
Hello and welcome to Traffic on the Turf, your weekly update for landscaping pros to keep lawns looking their best.
Right now, in early August, it’s critical to focus on late summer lawn care strategies. This means applying a balanced fertilizer with higher potassium to strengthen turfgrass roots for fall. Also, watch for signs of disease caused by heat and humidity—fungicide treatments may be needed on susceptible lawns.
Make sure your crews are adjusting mowing heights to avoid scalping stressed grass. The best products to use this time of year include slow-release fertilizers and organic soil conditioners that boost moisture retention.
Keep an eye out for supply chain bottlenecks—some specialty fertilizers and fungicides are running low due to high demand this season. Pricing has also been rising, so consider adjusting your service rates accordingly.
That’s your Traffic on the Turf update. Stay tuned for more tips next week to keep your clients’ lawns thriving!
