Heat Stress/Drought
Due to Colorado Springs’s location in the high plains of Colorado, residents should be vigilant about properly caring for their lawns. There are several lawn care services that can help, including lawn fertilization, lawn aeration and soil loosening agents.
Mountain High Tree Care & Consulting provides several types of fertilizer, including an organic fertilizer called Nature’s Way, an extended-release fertilizer to treat your lawn throughout the season and our Conventional fertilizer specifically designed for the conditions in Colorado Springs.
We also offer lawn aeration services to help better oxygenate your lawn, as well as a product called Revive that is designed to loosen up hard, dry soils so the roots can absorb the necessary water and nutrients.
Pest and Insect Control
Drought-stressed grass can draw its fair share of mites and other bugs. Lawn mites can start feeding as early as December and continue munching through the winter season. What’s worse, they feed in bunches, making it difficult to control the devastation.
You also have other pests and bugs that pop up in the warmer months, such as white grubs, Sod Webworms and Billbugs.
You’ll often find pests such as mites on the south and west-facing sections of your lawn where the sun reflects the most heat. Make sure you water regularly in the winter and early spring to keep pest and mite populations under control.
Of course, pesticides have become a rather effective means of treating bugs once they start showing up. We offer various options for pest control.
