Notes from the lawn. Our crews are seeing lawns that have SOD WEB WORMS.
Sod webworms are always above ground, feeding on grass blades. When these lawn pests are small, they eat the soft leaf tissue of plants, leaving the veins of the leaf behind. As they get larger, they start eating the entire blade, leaving behind a visible “notched” appearance. Soon, they’ll eat full leaves, cutting the grass off at the crown. This is what causes brown patches. If untreated, they’ll continue these patterns until your small brown spots turn into large, dead sections of lawn. In the worst situations, your entire yard can be destroyed.
You’re most likely to find sod webworms in turfgrass, bluegrass, bentgrass, tall grass, and buffalo grass. To look for them in your grass, begin by examining the thatch layer or top inch soil for signs of silken tubes or webbing. As described, when they’re young, they feed on the soft leaf tissue of plants, which is generally the underside of leaves. Check here for damage that looks that has a chewed, grazed, or scalped appearance.
Another critical thing to note is sod webworms prefer sunny areas. They favor direct sunlight or south-facing slopes. Areas with a lot of shade are rarely attacked, so it’s doubtful to find these insects in those spots.
Alfresco Landscapes is equipped to diagnose and create a plan to take care of this pest and get your lawn back to health.
Let us help protect your investment.
Call today if you are noticing anything unusual in the turf.

Ever heard of this? Apparently, after days of rain that's caused flooding in parts of Michigan, this home found what they call an earth pimple and popped it.
The Alfresco team is heading into a long weekend to celebrate our country's independence.

Fully retained in Rockford.
Beautiful and functional, awesome!
Looks great, nice work!
Since we don't see any snow in the 7 day forecast, we need to make sure our lawns are ready for the heat.
Sprinkling
Water twice a day when the temperature is above 80 degrees. If you have underground sprinklers, set the rotary heads for 20 minutes a zone and the misters for 8 minutes at 5:00 AM and 1:00 PM. As far as the grass is concerned, it does not make a difference if the first time you water the lawn is at 5:00 AM or 9:00 AM. The reason I say 5:00 AM is because it doesn't interfere with things that could happen on your lawn during the day, like kids playing, pets outside, mowing services, our services, meter readers, garage sales, etc. If you don't have any services coming to your property, and don't have children or pets, then you can have your sprinklers start the first run at 8:00 AM or 9:00 AM. I have heard the argument to not water in the heat of the day because you lose it to evaporation. Remember, your lawn is living and breathing. You cool down with a glass of water. We make sure our pets have plenty to drink. Why would you not want to cool down the grass?
Avoid watering late in the evening. You want to give your lawn time to dry before the sun goes down. If the lawn stays wet all night you are only inviting fungus and disease. Now, before I get flooded with emails from people without a sprinkler system, I should state that watering in the evening is still better than not watering at all.
Avoid too much water. I have also heard the argument to water deep and infrequently to make the roots go deeper. This argument is not based on science. The biological make up of cool season grass is that the roots grow deep when temperatures are 55 degrees to 70 degrees. That is why the grass grows so fast in the spring, and also looks great in the fall. The roots are going to be more shallow as temperatures climb above 75 degrees, so don't waste water trying to fight nature. A glass of water that is full cannot hold any more water, despite how long it is left under the faucet. Soil that is too wet will lead to diseases of the grass.
If you have an irrigation system, make sure to watch the heads to make sure everything is firing on all cylinders. When conditions get dry, gaps in coverage become obvious and green and brown circles indicative of poor irrigation coverage become obvious.
Mowing
The roots of grass are proportionate to the height of the blade of grass. The shorter you mow the grass, the shorter the roots will be. Mow at the highest setting during periods of 80 degrees or warmer. If the turf doesn't have long enough blades it can't harvest light for photosynthesis. The result is that more energy will be spent to produce new leaf tissue, instead of root development.
It will become difficult to control weeds. Much like grass, weed growth slows down during the heat of the day. Weeds form a waxy coating to keep in moisture, but that also makes it harder for the weed control to penetrate.
Heat tracks can be anywhere from home lawns to golf courses. Anytime you put traffic from a cart, mower, spreader, or even a bicycle on turf that is nearing the wilting point or has already wilted, you will likely see a track in the following days. If possible, try to mow during the cooler times of the day, early morning or in the evening after dinner. Some times heat tracks are unavoidable. Even if you are watering every day, and you mow in the evening, it is still possible to have heat tracks

It’s been more than 130 years since J. Sterling Morton founded Arbor Day. His simple idea of establishing a special day for planting trees is now more important than ever. Arbor Day is a day set aside to celebrate trees and all of their benefits.
Trees provide valuable environmental services such as shade in summer, carbon fixation, oxygen production, soil erosion reduction, more favorable groundwater recharge, and habitat for many forms of other plant and animal life.
Someone is sitting in the shade today, because someone planted a tree. Let Alfresco Landscapes help with the selection and planting of your tree(s).

Curb Appeal Matters
There are a lot of homes on the market this year. Today’s buyers have much more to choose from in the way of inventory, any home for sale must make a positive first impression. Curb appeal matters more now than ever. Exterior remodeling projects typically deliver the greatest return-on-investment to home sellers. Of course, the resale value of any remodeling project will depend on a variety of factors, such as a home’s location, its overall condition, the quality of the surrounding properties and regional economic circumstances. Remember, people are not buying the house itself, but also the landscape. Here are a few things to think about when assessing your home’s landscape.
Are there shade trees on your property? Shade trees can decrease your cooling cost in the summer as well as create a nice place to relax outside. Mature shade trees, such as maples & oaks can increase your property value up to 15%. It is also desirable to have ornamental & flowering trees, such as Japanese maples, flowering cherries and dogwoods. What about your shrubs? Are they even planted in the right place? When it comes to plants on your property, not only is their existence important, but also their health. Have your plants been well cared for? Have they been pruned at the proper time & in a proper way?
Besides plants, there is much more to consider when assessing your property as well. What about your land-contour? Is water running away or towards your house? Is your property flat? Contours add interest to a landscape. Is there an irrigation system? Sprinklers are a big plus for gardens & lawns. What about the circulation pattern to enter your home? Is it clear where people should park or enter the home? Are the drives, patios, & walks in good condition? There are many factors to consider when evaluating your home’s landscape. If you are concerned and would like the input from one of our talented landscape professionals please call Alfresco Landscapes today. We will be more than happy to meet you at your home & discuss landscape options.

A huge shoutout to Tony Betten & Sons Ford and especially Aaron Powers for the attention to the details and the professional experience we receive.
From the moment we made the call that we needed a new truck due to unforeseen circumstances, to the moment just a day later when our new 2021 F250 was delivered to our door. A truly seamless experience.
As a matter fact, Aaron has taken our calls on his days off and at 7 o’clock this morning when we told him one of our trucks needed service and it was at the dealership to be taken care of.
Aaron goes above and beyond for his clients. The owners should feel blessed to have Aaron as a dedicated individual in their employ.
If your in the need of a Ford, make sure you ask only for Aaron at Tony Betten & Sons Ford.
It will be an experience that continues way after the sale is complete.
Thank You Aaron Powers and thank you Tony Betten!
You have kept us on the road so that we can service our clients.
Deicer is working nicely on this sunny 20° afternoon.
