Q: I donât really water my Bermuda lawn. Should I keep it a certain length because I donât water? (opens the original)
Read excerpt
A: As with any plant, heat stresses a lawn. All of them like at least 1â³ of water per week and, in fact, need that to maintain vigor. Though we have been getting somewhat ample rainfall lately, when it stays hot and dry, experts recommend raising the mowing height, cutting less height from the grass blades. This leaves more leaf tissue to shade and retain moisture in the soil, thus helping the lawn through heat stress. The recommended height for Bermuda is 1-2â³, so stay closer to the 2â³ in
A thoughtful fall task (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Fall is ushered in by shorter days, cooler temperatures, football games all weekend long, and by falling leaves. When late summer is dry, and days that follow stay sunny and cool, we tend to have a more colorful leaf change. Once days begin getting shorter, the chlorophyl needed to turn sunlight into food begins breaking down and pigments of other colors are visible on deciduous trees.

Read excerpt
A: Bottlebrush Buckeyes do tend to turn before many trees in early fall, so due to extreme heat, that may be natural- just early. It could also have to do with a lack of nutrients. Itâs too late to fertilize now, but plan to do so in early spring. This native shrub is beloved for its upright, white fluffy flowers in early summer. Flowers are followed by the nut called a buckeye, which are not edible.
August Turf Tips: Being Waterwise with the Lawn (opens the original)
Read excerpt
The National Weather Service recently made it official - as of the first week of August, Georgia is no longer in a drought. Spring was rough though. April was the peak of this drought, and during that month, meteorologist Christina Edwards reported only 5 days of âmeasurable rainfallâ, as recorded at Atlantaâs airport. August arrived, bringing those summer thunderstorms we know so well here in the South. Lawns are welcoming the rain, and homeowners can finally ease off of providing supplem
