Lawn Care & Irrigation in Greenville SC

December 2nd, 2011

Where did the autumn go? For me, it quickly slipped into obliv­ion, and soon St. Nick may visit, if 

you’ve been nice, huh?

Now that the golden hue of foliage has been shred­ded, sucked up, and sent to the mulch pile; your

lawn looks great perhaps(if you’ve hired Turf Touch), save a BIG pile of sun-bleached mulch.

Hence, this is a great time of year to re-fresh your mulch; whether it be black mulch, brown mulch, or red mulch.

Turf Touch will be happy to assist with all of your mulch needs. Sim­ply, pick up the phone and dial: 864.325.9939.

For all your irri­ga­tion and lawn-care needs.

Get Rid Of Brown Patch Fungus”

May 11th, 2011

Brown patch fun­gus is a fun­gus that attacks lawns, pri­mar­ily fes­cue lawns, though not lim­ited to fes­cue lawns.

When the tem­per­a­ture increases, and when the humid­ity increases(to a sticky feel), brown patch rears its ugly head by cre­at­ing brown cir­cu­lar areas in your lawn. And often right in the cen­ter of the cir­cle, you will notice a small area of green foliage. What I call the donut effect.

Fun­gus sea­son in the south is usu­ally from the first of May to mid-August.

The most effec­tive way to treat is to spray a fungi­cide before you see the fun­gus, for once you’ve applied the fungi­cide, it “arrests” and keeps it from metastasizing(an once of pre­ven­tion is worth a pound of cure).

When you begin to treat, you need treat brown patch three to four times dur­ing fun­gus sea­son for best results.

Turf Touch will be happy to help with your fun­gus needs and all of your lawn care, land­scap­ing, and irri­ga­tion needs.

Until we meet, stay green–and happy!

Lawn Care In Greenville, SC–Seeding/Aeration

March 10th, 2011

The Spring is upon us, and if you’d like to seed, and you did not seed in the Fall, now’s a good time to get started.

You need to seed before it gets too warm, so the seed has time to ger­mi­nate and mature before the hot weather arrives, for the hot weather will kill the new seedlings if they have not matured.

And yes, aer­a­tion is sug­gested at the time of seed­ing. It will loosen the soil and allow it to breathe, aerate(air).

Please allow Turf Touch to assist with your seed­ing and aer­a­tion needs in Greenville, SC and sur­round­ing areas.

Until we meet, keep your lawn green.

Crabgrass Preventer

February 12th, 2011

It’s time to apply crab­grass pre­ven­ter before the soil tem­per­a­ture gets too warm.

Once the soil tem­per­a­ture rises to around 55 degrees, crab­grass will begin to ger­mi­nate below the soil’s surface.

Crab­grass pre­ven­ter is is often called “pre-emergence.” Why? Pre– means before, and emer­gence means an out­growth of plant to the sur­face. Hence, crab­grass pre­ven­ter helps stop the growth before it emerges from soil.

If one, how­ever, waits too late in the sea­son to apply crab­grass pre­ven­ter, it will not work. And if one breaks the soils, the bar­rier will be broke, and the resis­tance will be less.

Crab­grass will dis­play its ugly plant in the sum­mer months, but one must take a proac­tive approach in order to get best results.

Crab­grass is an annual grass(or weed, if you would like to call it). It dies around the sec­ond frost.

Allow Turf Touch to help with your crab­grass needs, for we have the expe­ri­ence to know the right prod­ucts to apply and how to apply them.

Another tip, crab­grass loves sun­light and heat, so if your lawn is in the open, you will have a worse crab­grass prob­lem than the shaded areas.

Remem­ber: An ounce of pre­ven­tion is worth a pound of cure. Plan well.

Until we meet again, good rid­dance to the ugly crabgrass.

Lime Yard, by Turf Touch

November 30th, 2010

Winter’s a good time of year to lime yard, even though lime can be applied any time of year.

Lime will add cal­cium and mag­ne­sium, and it will neu­tral­ize acid, which is caused by tree, shrubs, fer­til­iz­ers, soil types and other issues.

Lime will cre­ate a healthy root base.

Lime must be applied heav­ily, one or two bags will not do, apply ten to fif­teen bags(40–50# bags) on an aver­age 10,000 sq. ft. lawn.

One Caveat: DO NOT apply lime to CENTIPEDE lawns.

Turf Touch will be glad to do this ser­vice for you, if you so desire.

Until we meet, keep your lawn green.

Deep Root Tree & Shrub Fertilization

November 2nd, 2010

Greet­ings once again to our read­ers, fol­low­ers and seri­ous lawn-care friends, today we desire that you know it’s a good time to deep root inject your trees and shrubs.

What is deep root fer­til­iza­tion? It’s when each plant is injected indi­vid­u­ally with a tool which resem­bles a large hypo­der­mic nee­dle; hence, the fertilizer(liquid) will sat­u­rate the ground around the root system.

Though the deep root fer­til­iza­tion may not take an imme­di­ate effect, over the processes of the year, it will slowly help the plants.

Once the weather gets colder, it’s a good time for this appli­ca­tion, and it’s healthy to do this once if not twice a year, just around October/November and again around January/February.

…wish­ing you a green, happy year.

Stay in touch!
