Thank you for your interest in King Hagen Lawn Care!
2025 started off very dry. Then it was wet, cold, warm, cold.
Now the warm breezes and blooming trees are teasing us into thinking grass should germinate overnight. But remember that nighttime temperatures are still low and - especially - soil temperatures are still too cold for complete germination.
Patience is key.
Soon everything will begin to green up, as soil temperatures rise and - especially - stay warm.
And, to ensure healthy and beautiful lawns, follow our fertilization and weed control program.
Ask us for your free analysis and lawn care estimate. Optimal fertilization is all about timing and slow release. Wrong fertilizer applied at the wrong time will result in overgrowth and a compromised root system. Trust us to customize an effective program for your lawn.
1. Avoid mowing your grass too low. Mowing grass too low will result in turf loss and can lead to a multitude of turf grass problems.
2. Maintain your mower: keep blades sharpened for optimal cutting. Cutting grass with dull blades is like cutting your hair the same way.
3. During hot weather, always water your lawn before noon. Watering grass after noon is like boiling vegetables.
4. Contact us about late winter/early spring Aeration and Dormant Seeding for stressed lawns and patches.
5. Remove leaves on your lawn by mulching them back into it, if possible.
The most important thing we can do for your lawn is begin (or continue!) a comprehensive Lawn Care Program tailored to the specific needs of your turf, including fertilization and weed control, responding to current weather conditions. Right now we are finishing dormant seeding and starting
Early Spring fertilization applications on your lawns, as weather allows. Our fertilization and weed control program includes a 5-point application plan for success.
Contact us today with any questions you have about our lawn care program!
Enjoy time with your family and loved ones this season! My own family will be busy on lawns and making art (find Laura's paintings on Laura King Fine Arts)!
Thanks again,
Charles A. Hagen, President & Owner, KHLC
