3% Organic Matter and Overseeding

We have been discussing the roller coaster ride that most people are on, hurry up and green the lawn up, spend a lot on water, suffer summer heat, exhaustion, blowing out the irrigation, suffering winter kill and beginning the entire process all over again the...
It Looks Like a Cooler Year

It Looks Like a Cooler Year

I have a picture of my lawn last year that I took on April 1st. It was solid green, an  effect of the biology in my soil. I have another picture that I too this year on the same day. It took more than a week for the lawn to get to the same color where it was last...

Social Shaming on Water, a New Low

Social Shaming on Water, a New Low

I’m sure that you have seen it recently, the articles in the media encouraging neighbors to rat on their neighbors for wasting water. I hate to use the word rat as they are pretty cool animals, so I will not depict them in a negative light but you get the...
“I Don’t Like That Natural Stuff”

“I Don’t Like That Natural Stuff”

I wanted to address a comment I recently received, not from a customer but from one of my own neighbors. One of my neighbors that lives down the street a few days ago stopped by while I was sprawled out on my lawn working on one of my new robotic mowers that I just...

“I don’t want a golf course”

I often hear this response when I start talking about correcting issues in my customers lawns: “I really don’t want it to look like a golf course.” In people’s minds they have built up that a golf course is the epitome of refinement, health and...
Where do I start?

Biology wins, every time!

Biology wins, every time!

In the search for better lawns we have been taught to use the one thing that works very well but has a dark side. I am speaking about synthetics. They are just like steroids and methamphetamines. They work really well which is why people tend to use them but they have...
Gas no more for Honda

Gas no more for Honda

A few years ago I made a prediction. I simply said that within 5-6 years you would no longer be able to buy a gas powered lawn mower. In 2017 the Ego push behind, lithium powered lawn mower went head to head with the top model of the Briggs and Stratton 5hp gas...

You’re Not Happy…

You’re Not Happy…

Can I go out on a limb and say that customer service these days sucks? How often have you went somewhere only to get received by someone who really didn’t want to help you? They were rude, unengaged, dismissive or maybe even rude? This now seems to be the norm...
