Two things that can menace your lawn this time of year, grub worms and fungus. Do your best to be prepared for each of them. Water in the early morning, never past 8:00am, or at night. That will help with fungus. As for grubs, it’s getting late for a preventative, put something down, use a curative if you get them, or plan on aerating & seeding this Fall. More information will come on that later. As always, we’re here if you need us. TheShowcaseLawn.com.
