If I could pick one month out of the entire year to improve the health of a Colorado lawn, it would be September. Not April. Not May. And definitely not July. September. Why? Because September is when the lawn finally gets an opportunity to stop merely surviving and...

When a lawn suddenly fills with weeds, thins out, loses color or begins struggling during a hot summer, the natural reaction is usually pretty simple: “What happened to my lawn?” And the next reaction is often: “What do I need to put on it?” More fertilizer? More weed...

For decades, lawn care has been built around a surprisingly simple formula: See a problem. Buy a product. Kill something. Feed something. Water something. Repeat next year. But what if many of the things we consider “normal lawn maintenance” are actually symptoms of a...

Colorado weather can feel completely unpredictable. One winter is warm and dry. The next brings heavy spring snowstorms. Summer rain may arrive almost every afternoon—or disappear for weeks. Some of that variability begins thousands of miles away in the tropical...
