Fertilization and Weed Control Service in Dallas, Ga (Getting to know Sharplawns Turf Care)
I know that there are lots of options out there these days when selecting a lawn care Fertilization and Weed Control service in Dallas, Ga and I’d like to take a moment to point out why you should consider giving Sharplawns Turf Care a try to handle your lawns Fertilization and Weed Control needs.
Experienced
I began my career in the lawn care industry working for a larger lawn care service back in 1995. After 10 years of working for a larger corporate type of company I started Sharplawns in 2005. Seeing how little the larger companies out there seemed to value their customers and employees I set out with a goal to build a small locally owned company that was focused on Honesty, building good customer relationships and providing exceptional customer service and good results.

Weed ID – Spotted Spurge
Spotted spurge is a difficult to control Summer Annual weed that is common to see in the Dallas, GA area. Spurge grows close to the ground and can form dense mats if left uncontrolled. Spurge tends to take off in hot, dry conditions, and will be noticeable in open areas, in bare or stressed areas of turf and can even grow in sidewalk cracks.
Spotted spurge prevention should be an important part of any lawn care program in dallas, Ga. Spring pre-emergents can be helpful, however late in the season when the pre-emergent starts to break down is where spurge can start to be a problem. Post-Emergent control is effective on young spurge in its early stages, but can be more of a challenge to control in its mature stage.
Keeping the lawn thick and healthy is good way to keep spotted spurge down to minimum. Spotted Spurge requires sunlight to germinate, so a thick healthy lawn will tend to not see much of this difficult to control weeds. Scalping of the lawn, or removing to much grass at each mowing will thin out areas of the lawn and spurge outbreaks can be more common in these stressed areas. We recommend keeping the lawn mowed atleast weekly during the growing season and be sure to not remove more than 1/3 of the grass blade per mowing.
If spotted spurge is a problem in your yard, feel free to give Sharplawns Turf Care a call and we can evaluate and setup a lawn care program to help minimize and/or eliminate this difficult to control nuisance weed from your lawn in Dallas, Ga

Lawn Care Dallas, Ga – Watering Practices
It looks like the rain this year has not been as frequent as last year so far! Watering on a regular schedule is the best way to maximize the results from our lawn care program in Dallas, Ga. Hard compacted soil is a good sign that your not getting enough water! If you can’t easily push a screwdriver into the ground then this is a good sign that its time to water. If your noticing your footprints remain on the lawn after its walked on this is also an early sign of drought stress. Watering at 1 inch per week when there is no rain is a good measure to take to ensure the best results from our lawn care service in Dallas, Ga. We always recommend thorough watering once per week, rather than short frequent waterings. Why? Because, longer thorough watering will promote a deeper root system which will build a stronger, thicker and healthier stand of turf, while shorter waterings will tend to promote a shallow root system which can set the turf up for problems later on down the road! We always recommend watering 1 inch per week minimum for best results.
Prevent Weeds Now in Dallas and Acworth Georgia!
Now that the holidays are over, and the new year is here.. How about a better looking lawn for 2013? Even though we’ve still got a ways to go until the grass starts growing again, now is the time to think about preventing crabgrass and other difficult to control weeds from invading your lawn this spring and summer.
Crabgrass germinates when soil temperatures are consistently above 55 degrees. We typically will start to see these temperatures in Metro Atlanta around the end of February, however even before this time we can see some warmer weather, and with this some earlier germination is possible.
We generally start our Round #1 Crabgrass Prevention treatment in early February. The products we use will stay active in the soil for an extended period of time, so even if we are a little early, when the conditions are right for germination your lawn will be covered. We follow up with a second application 6 to 8 weeks later when the first application is about broken down. This second treatment will extend your pre-emergent control, as well as have some post-emergent control to any young crabgrass that may be trying to germinate.
Give us a call today at 678-497-5093 or request an estimate online to get on our 7 step Lawn Care Program, and be on your way to a better looking yard for the 2013 season!
