Starting a new flower garden: 

The basics to a flower bed planting... (How to)

What a great result they get with these simple techniques. Flowers can truly spruce up an area of your lawn. Sometimes if you have a trouble spot that has a challenge with grass you can build a box garden or a flower bed like this. Only if it would look good in that spot of course and assuming it has the amount of sun needed for the plants you would like to have growing. Landscaping your yard and adding flowers sometimes can add great curb appeal or make your backyard beautiful. Of course a green lush lawn always looks great to and that is where we can help. In the spring we get out there get the grass out of dormancy, then protect your lawn from crabgrass and then control the weeds. Getting the grass healthy is what we do best, and a healthy lawn is the number one, best defense against weeds.



We are so excited to come out to your Edina home and get the grass healthy and inviting.

Dealing with mushrooms in the lawn! How to control and get rid of mushroom fungi in your yard?

Managing Lawn Mushrooms

Have you ever walked outside after a rainy period only to find that your Minneapolis, MN lawn has sprouted mushrooms, seemingly overnight? Rainfall and increased humidity in late spring and early summer serve as an open invitation for mushrooms to cause a ruckus on otherwise tame lawns. The good news: most will pack up and leave without any damage to the surrounding grass.

Minneapolis, MN Lawn mushrooms are fungi that feed off decomposing and decaying matter like old tree stumps, animal waste, timeworn mulch and forgotten construction debris. This essentially means you cannot permanently eradicate mushrooms without excavating the lawn. This is also why you should not try to combat mushrooms with fungicide, as the actual fungus in this case is located underground.

Not to worry – you don’t have to be stuck with these unwanted turf invaders forever. Altering the conditions of your lawn will help prevent mushrooms from appearing. Weed Man Minneapolis, MN recommends the following simple steps:

1. Rake up and remove the mushrooms. Only experts can distinguish between edible and poisonous mushrooms, so this is particularly beneficial if you have young children or pets.
2. Reduce irrigation. Minneapolis, MN Mushrooms thrive on over-watering, heavy rainfall and poor drainage. This is why people with new sod, which requires frequent watering, often encounter sudden mushroom growth in their lawns.
3. Remove pet waste and rotten plant debris. Exhausting all of the food sources for fungus off the surface of your lawn will hamper its chances of growing in the future.
4. Rake. Raking up thatch will help eliminate any decomposing materials on the surface and allow the soil to breathe.
5. Aerate. Aeration improves drainage and allows air to penetrate the subsurface and circulate deep in compacted soil.                                                                                                                                    

Mushrooms, while unsightly, are easy to manage with the right lawn care plan. Be sure to call your Weed Man Minneapolis, MN professional with any questions regarding the elimination of mushrooms in your lawn.

* Spring fertilization:  The slow release minerals and nutrients in this golf course grade fertilizer will help green up your lawn and bring it out of winter dormancy. Precipitation (including snowfall) will help breakdown the fertilizer and release the nutrients into the soil.

* Broadleaf weed and pre-emergent crabgrass control: It will take up to 14 days before the weeds begin to show visible signs of dying. This application also will help prevent crabgrass from emerging and help reduce the amount seen throughout the year. Weeds will then begin to curl and turn color when effected. Rain won’t affect this application unless it occurs immediately after it was applied. 

* Early summer fertilization:  The nutrients in this fertilizer will help keep the lawn green as well as help the turf store nutrients for the up and coming summer heat.  The fertilizer can stay on the lawn while dry without harming it. We also spot spray for any weeds in the lawn

* Late summer fertilization:  The nutrients in this fertilizer will help bring the lawn out of summer dormancy and help green up the lawn as we head into the fall. The fertilizer can stay on the lawn while dry without harming it.  However, the fertilizer will not start to work until it is watered in or until precipitation brakes it down.  We also spot spray for any weeds in the lawn. 

* Late season weed control: It will take up to 14 days before the weeds begin to show signs of dying. Weeds will then begin to curl and turn color when effected. Rain won’t affect this application unless it occurs immediately after it was applied. 

* Winterizing fertilizer:  The nutrients in this fertilizer will allow the lawn to store enough energy for the upcoming winter and help your lawn look its best next spring.  As long as the fertilizer has been applied before the ground completely freezes, it will work properly.  Leaf cover will normally not affect the granular fertilizer.  In just a couple days wind, precipitation (including snowfall), and gravity will help push the fertilizer down to the soil. 

A standard program comes with free reapplications for weeds as needed, free crabgrass post-emergent treatments, and free inspections for when you have specific issues that need further investigation.
