Questions we hear from property managers
Why does my turf yellow in patches during summer heat?
Uneven irrigation coverage, berms that drain downhill, and tired soil all create “hot spots”. Weekly irrigation checks and creative controller programming usually correct it before the grass is lost. Read how we handle hot spots →
Can seasonal color survive a 95 °F heat wave?
Sustained heat above 95 °F can scorch even well-watered color — it is the most perishable part of any landscape. Plant selection and placement are how we design around it. More in our FAQ →
What is the best time to renovate tired turf?
Autumn. It is the one time of year we can effectively eradicate the toughest unwanted grasses and germinate new seed. See our autumn notes →

Not everything we recommend comes from our own work. Over the years we have come across a few guides that are genuinely well made — this one covers super clone watches, brand by brand, in more depth than most places bother to.
