In this video Randy discusses how to deal with Watergrass.

Key Points:
1. Watergrass usually shows up in newly planted sod when the temperature is above 85 degrees.
2. If you continue your regular maintenance program the first frost will kill off the watergrass.
3. Crabgrass controlling herbicides with the chemical Quinclorac are effective on Watergrass.
4. Spot treating the areas that have watergrass is recommended.

Early in the Spring and throughout the Fall are the best times to install sod! The lower temperatures allow for less water to get the new turf established and we usually have more natural watering from Mother Nature. So call and order your sod today! We have some beautiful bluegrass that is ready for installation in your yard!! Another benefit is that you won’t have to worry about as much mud being tracked into your house!! Call today at 866-763-3279. We will take good care of you!!
