Description: |
The return of warm weather, green grass, and flowering plants makes April the ideal time to celebrate the benefits of turf. “We know the challenges that local municipalities are facing in this environment, so we want to help out as much as we can by doing what we do—provide a thick, green, healthy turf,” states Brad Johnson, owner of LawnAmerica in Tulsa and PLANET member. “By later this summer, and especially next spring, park patrons will see a dramatic improvement in the turf and landscape at these parks, and at no cost to the cities,” says Johnson.

Title: Nutsedge Taking Over Tulsa Lawns! |
Description: |
| 2007]—If your lawn or garden’s beauty is marred by a bright yellow-green grass-like weed, chances are you’re in a battle with nutsedge. Also commonly called yellow nutgrass or water grass, this vigorous plant produces wide triangular stalks in threes from a center point at ground level. Other similar sedges are purple nutsedge and green kylinga, which are very difficult to control. Being a sedge, it thrives in damp soil conditions, which we obviously have had with the excessive rain for the past several months. |

Title: Spring Lawn Revival |
Description: |
| After a long and cold winter, your lawn will be ready to spring into action soon, with warmer weather approaching. Bermudagrass, which is the dominant turf type in our area, is subject to winterkill during extremely cold winters. Although the actual low temperatures have stayed above zero degrees this winter, the duration of our cold snaps have been pretty long. It’s too soon to say if bermudagrass has been affected by the winter. |
