We do love our lawns. Mowing in a heart shape is a little extreme, but we do love our lawns.

Winter aeration
March 1st, 2017 by Tuff Turf MolebustersLast week it was so nice I aerated my lawn and noticed that the insects were waking up from the winter. I don’t know of any studies that show the beneifts of aerating in the winter, but somebody had to try.

We have some excellent prices on aeration for the rest of September. Follow this link for the benefits of aeration. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SmQJ23yzy_s&feature=youtu.be

TruGreen buys Scotts Lawn Service
January 25th, 2016 by Tuff Turf MolebustersTruGreen and Scott’s Lawn Service have merged to form a company with 2.3 million customers and $1,300,000,000 in annual revenue. This is great for all the smaller, local companies that compete against them.
We don’t need bragging rights about the number of customers we have. We prefer to know their names.
We don’t need to brag about the number of employees we have. We prefer to know the spouses and children of all of our team members and be able to get together with them a couple of times a year.
We don’t need to have regional call centers where your call gets routed so that you are never able to call the branch in your own region. We prefer our one office in the community that we service.
That being said, it is nice to have a company the size of TruGreen with deep pockets and scientists to disprove the misinformation of the anti-pesticide activists. These activists prey on fear and emotion, which trumps science and data every time.
The downside of this merger is the many people that will be losing their jobs in cities where both Scott’s and TruGreen both have branches.

Now is the best time to kill weeds
October 5th, 2015 by Tuff Turf MolebustersFall is the ideal time for controlling broadleaf weeds such as ground ivy, dandelion and white clover. Dandelions don’t often bloom in the fall, but there are in the lawn now. They are waiting for next spring so they can send up those nice yellow flowers in the lawn. Kevin Frank from MSU published a tip on this. Click here to read it.
