Pro Tips
Fertility
Empire requires very little Nitrogen to maintain a healthy, dense lawn. In February – Soil test, liming based on soil results. Empire prefers a pH between 6 and 6.5.
Weeds, Diseanse, and Insets
Preventative measures can help reduce the number of February, apply your Spring Pre-Emergent (i.e., Dimension) at the medium labeled rate.
This will help prevent summer grassy weeds such as crabgrass and goosegrass.
Mowing and Cultural Maintenance
Empire does best maintained at a mowing height between 1″ and 1.5″. In spring when your lawn begins to green up (typically, late March) lower your mower one notch and give it a nice “shave” while either bagging or raking up the clippings. This will remove the dormant top and allow new growth to start pushing through.
Irrigation
Deeper, infrequent watering helps promote longer roots that can withstand longer periods of heat and drought In early spring, conduct an Irrigation Audit to ensure all heads are working properly and coverage is adequate.
Irrigation Maintenance
- Deeper, infrequent watering helps promote longer roots that can withstand longer periods of heat & drought.
- Early Spring – Conduct an Irrigation Audit to ensure all heads are working properly & coverage is adequate
- Spring/Summer – Increase times, not days. Your lawn’s demand for water is lower during this time but still needs adequate moisture as it transitions into the Spring/Summer. Plan on ½” of water per week in the early Spring & ramping up to 1″ per week in the Summer.
- During periods of excessive growth (lots of clippings) it would be beneficial to collect the clippings (bag or rake) to prevent thatch build-up. It’s also a good time to aerify your lawn to reduce compaction & thatch. Allow oxygen to penetrate the rootzone.
