Autumn Aeration
What is
aeration and why do you need it?
It's hard to
believe that in just two short weeks, kids will head back to
school. As the schools open and buses re-emerge, we know that Fall
is on the way.
As we begin to think about Fall, it is important to prepare your
lawn and landscape for the new season as well. Aeration, which is
achieved by using a gas-powered machine, helps to relieve
compaction in the soil and break down thatch that has built up in
the lawn. Aeration should be done each fall, so that your lawn
will receive the maximum benefits from your investment.
After aeration is completed, we recommend that the entire lawn be
over seeded to help repair areas where the grass has died out due
to age, stress, neglect, disease or drought, and to thicken up the
entire lawn. Thickening the lawn makes it more enjoyable to walk
on, and it helps to keep weed seeds from germinating.
Contact Tom today to learn more about the importance of aerating
and over-seeding; give him a call at 301-842-0062 or email
him, Tom@GroshsLawnService.com.

Clean Up
After Your Dog!
Part of
responsible pet ownership is cleaning up after your pets. This
is very important for both health and sanitary reasons.
Did you know that dogs can carry Salmonella, Campylobacter,
Giardia, Hookworms, and Tapeworms which can be transmitted to
people? Not only that, but dogs can carry roundworms,
parvovirus, whipworms, and coccidia which can quickly infect other
dogs.
When a dog or human (walking barefoot) steps in dog poop, that
stool can transmit these diseases. And it doesn't have to be
"fresh" excrement, some worm eggs can live in the
soil for 5 years! Yes, that means if stool is left in the
yard, even once evidence of stool is gone, it can still
infect.
Dog feces are also a great reservoir for flies! A yard left
uncleaned can make the fly population grow out of control, as much
of the eggs are laid in feces.
Finally, keeping your water clean is one of the most important
reasons to clean up after your pets. Of water pollutants, dog feces
are as high as 3rd on the list for contributors to polluted
water.
So keep those yards clean, folks! You, your dog, and your
environment will be much happier!!

What Our Clients Are Saying
Good
morning,
We were customers of your lawn care service two years ago, and we
were wondering if you would be able to begin service on our lawn
again for the remainder of the season.
We were working with another lawn service and they seem to have
quit without notice. We contacted them several times, and each time
they assure us they will be out the following day- but we have now
had the same conversation on repeat for the last 3 weeks leaving
our lawn looking more like a jungle.
-Jay
