Over the Phone Diagnosis

Lou sign up as a new Turf King customer for 2010. Chris lives down the street. Lou's lawn was greatly improved by the lawn care program.
Chris moved in a year and a half ago, but the lawn just didn't want to measure up, in spite of tender loving care, seeding and watering. Lou recommend a call to Turf King.
Chris called and described the situation on the lawn. "It's patchy, and bare, the seed didn't grow." A few questions to pinpoint the time of year that the problems started. Doesn't sound like an insect problem. They tend to occur within certain time periods that correspond with their life cycles.

Sounds like you have Necrotic Ring Spot- a lawn disease. Sure enough, once at the site, the spots and patchiness were very typical of this particular disease.

Call Turf King for your problem lawns. We have the experience and we can help.

First Robin Haldimand County




Saw a pair of robins today, don't know if I was able to catch him in this photo. The Blackberry camera is not a very quick point and click device. But there were 2 robins hopping around on the lawn

Don't Settle for a Hamburger and Fries Lawn program when what you really want and what your lawn will prefer is a Steak and Potatoes Dinner.
Often people will say to me "Why does your lawn program cost more than XYZ company? They are giving me meat, potatoes, fresh vegetables and a drink for $xx."
I try to explain that it like comparing the hamburger and fries from the fast food lawn company to our much more robust lawn meal. No one would ask Kelseys why their meat, potatoes, fresh vegetables and a drink cost more than the meat, potatoes, fresh vegetables and a drink  from the golden arches.
Unfortunately, it takes some time for people to learn that 3 fertilizers and a couple of weed treatments do not necessarily make for a good lawn meal.
What kind of nutrients are being applied? Is it "fast food" nutrition or is it a long-lasting, high quality fertilizer that is custom blended to the soil conditions in this area.
Is your meal being served by teenagers who work part-time or is your lawn being cared for by lawn technicians who have a career in this business?
If you're looking for more than a fast food lawn program, give us a call.
