Landscaping work

Back to Nature will be doing our fertilizing and weed control this growing season and they made the first application back on May 8th. GM ProLawn will be performing our lawn and landscaping maintenance this year. This is the same company that did our snow removal over the past winter. GM ProLawn has been on-site yesterday and today to do the bed edging and weeding and to also finish repairing snow plow damage from this past winter. All lawns will receive a full cut today and on the following weeks, Fridays will be our designated lawn cutting day (subject to change due to weather or holidays).

Please assist the GM Prolawn crew by removing all of your belongings that are on the grass, such as garden hoses, toys, lawn furniture, etc.

The sprinkler system has been ready for use since April 15th and I am waiting until the grass shows evidence that it needs supplemental watering before I turn it on. Over the past 24 days, my rain gauge has measured 3.8 inches of precipitation, but it looks like later this week it will be much drier and warmer.
