March is here and there are many signs of spring all around us especially in the eastern part of Massachusetts. Snow drops have started to pop and crocus will soon peak their colors. I drove by a maple shack last night and they were boiling down the sap!
There are some other signs that affect our landscapes that we need to be aware of. Snow Mold is a fungus that grows this time of year typically in soaking wet areas of your lawns. Typically it is worse under heavy snow areas, but not always. It consists of circular patches of dead/ matted looking grass. If left alone it will kill or severely stunt the patch of turf. The easiest thing to do is give it a good hard rake as if thatching your lawn. A healthy lawn that has had an adequate lawn care program is just as susceptible as an unhealthy lawn. Give us a call if you are in the Concord, Wayland, Dover or Holden, Paxton, and we can schedule a visit to assess your lawn and give you the information to correct any issues you may have with your lawn.
Thanks for the info… i’ll put it to good use
