Got Clover? Why not? Clover is a beneficial plant that some people consider to be a weed, but we at Broccolo like to give you the option of to treat or not to treat? We are unique in this business with our standard of spot treatment as opposed to blanket treatment, so we can choose to keep the clover for many reasons. It acts as a natural fertilizer, fixing nitrogen in its roots and stays green in the heat/drought Clover also brings diversity to your yard by attracting bees and other pollinators.

Please let us know if you would like to participate in the movement to keep the clover! We can even overseed with it to introduce clover to your lawn, we will schedule an aeration to pair with overseeding of white clover seed this fall. Call us today!
Check out how the patches of lawn with clover interspersed have resisted the extreme heat that cool season turf grasses can’t tolerate.

How much to water?
For an established lawn and landscape a very general rule of thumb is to provide lawns with 1-1.5 inches of water per week, from irrigation or rainfall. A good way to check moisture penetration is to probe the soil with a screwdriver or similar object. Take a 4-6″ screw driver and push it into your lawn. If it is difficult to push in all the way, or if you can’t push it in all the way, then you need to water! If the screw driver pushes into the ground with ease, then you can assume you are in good shape.
