Just like we need food and water to give our bodies the nutrients to function at a higher level, your lawn needs the same proper care for its health as well.  Having a thick and green lawn is highly dependent upon the type of nutrients and when it receives those different nutrients. What is in a lawn fertilizer, and when is it best to apply it? Fertilizers for your lawn will include some sort of combination of Nitrogen, Phosphorus, and Potassium (N,P, andK). The amount of each element in the mixture will change depending on what is best for the soil type in a particular region. This aspec ..read more

Self-management of weeds in your lawn is a hassle, especially during this time of the year and later on in the fall before the snow hits. When left untreated, the weeds quickly take over your lawn and affect the health and growth of your turf-grass. Even if you treat the weeds as they appear with a post-emergent weed control, it becomes a daunting task to keep up. The best way to combat this issue is timely applications of pre-emergent weed control so that they do not get a chance to become a nuisance in your lawn in the first place. What is Pre-Emergent Weed Control? Pre-emergent weed con ..read more

There are very few creatures more beautiful and magnificent to behold than the various types of deer that roam the Pike’s Peak Region.

At Integrated Lawn Care, our team will not only protect your landscape from being damaged in the winter by the dee ..read more

Spooky season is upon us, and October is the month that we all are on the lookout to avoid scary things (or find them if you are into ghost hunting). Sometimes, it is your trees and shrubs that look a bit scary! The soil types in our area tend to bind up important nutrients in the soil, making it difficult for trees and shrubs to get the nutrients they need to maintain their health and to mature. This lack of nutrients is what gives your trees and shrubs the “zombie” look. They aren’t dead, but definitely aren’t thriving either. Half dead? Half alive? Either way, Zombie Trees are on the loose ..read more

The warmer temperatures that we have had recently have given a sense of a “false fall,” so while the weather has been warmer than normal, there is little time remaining for the growing season. This has important implications for the health and beauty of our lawns, especially when it comes to fall watering. At this point in the year, it is important to not under-water your lawn, causing it to stress under the dry and sometimes windy conditions. It is our tendency to lean towards not watering as often or as deeply as we should, especially during this time of year. It’s instinctual for ..read more

When considering your priorities in the winter, where on that list is lawn care? Most people would probably say it’s towards the bottom. While we know the lawn doesn’t need quite as much attention during the winter months, that doesn’t mean it can be left alone all together.
