The Summer Application
Please remember these tips during this
application...
The summer application includes insect
control for surface insects such as sod
webworms, chinch bugs and billbugs
which may cause ugly brown spots, PLUS
broadleaf weed control (as required by
climatic conditions). Watering improves
the effectiveness of this application.


1.  Mow at a height of 3 inches from June
through September.
2.  Never remove more than half of the
leaf blade in any one cutting.
3.  Never mow a wet lawn.
4.  Maintain a sharp cutting edge to avoid
shredding the grass.
5.  Mow the lawn in different directions
each time.  Watering can be done
immediately after and improves the
effectiveness.

Customer question of the month:
What we're
working on now....
Q: I would like to plant some new grass inside my dog fence.
Is there a grass type that is tolerant to pet urine?

A.        There is not any type of grass that is better than any others and grass in this area will be
subject to wear and tear.  One option is Kentucky bluegrass and rye.  Occasional overseeding will be
needed to help keep the lawn inside the dog fence thick.  
If you’re worried about the dog’s urine causing brown spots in your lawn the best thing to do is to add
water right after the dog has been on the lawn.

ATTENTION  ATTENTION!

Do you live in Morgantown or Fairmont?!  Did you know that you can receive additional services?

In addition to treating with weed control and fertilizer, we can provide the following:

Tree and Shrub care

          Pruning and Trimming of shrubs and bushes

Mulching

Mowing, edging, and weedeating

Mulch is a great way to spruce up your landscape.  In addition to making your plants look better mulch prevents
weeds from germinating and can kill may small weeds.  It provides warmth as it decays which helps protect plants in
the winter.  Mulch lessens the evaporation of moisture and protects against soil erosion.  
      Pruning and trimming allows you to keep the growth of your trees and shrubs under control and tidy.  But
keeping your trees can also benefit the lawn.  Too much shade can cause an excess of moss and minimal growth of
grass.  Pruning trees allows more sun and air movement and increases turf growth.

We are pleased to announce
   Mountaineer Lawn Care is back on schedule and will be participating in the Renewal and Remembrance Day on the Hill
at Arlington National Cemetery. Mountaineer Lawn Care is one of about 200 landscape, tree service and lawn care
companies from across the nation that travel to the cemeteries and spend the day mulching, pruning, liming, planting and
aerating.  The participating service providers are members of PLANET, the Professional Landcare Network.  Phil Fogarty,
a member who has helped organize the event said, "Because these cemeteries are of such size and scope, they need
our help.  This is an opportunity for us to demonstrate our professional skills and care for two important American
monuments."  As a whole the group tends to 270 acres of the cemetery.  "The natural beauty and quiet grace of Arlington
make it a place that we feel compelled to protect and take care of," Fogarty said."This demonstrates our honor and
remembrance of America's veterans and leaders."
