With a little planning, that is what your outdoor world will be like. Here, in Co. Springs, with our ever changing weather, a few simple actions go a long way. 


Keep your irrigation system properly tuned up and adjusted. Don’t water side walks, don’t over water established plants, don’t under-water turf.

Run irrigation when it will be most efficient-very early in the morning is best. Pressure will be best before the neighborhood wakes. 

Use the best fertilizer for your conditions. Plants can better utilize balanced, slow release fertilizers. If you have sandy soils, fertilize 3-4 times a year. If you have heavier soil, 2-3 times should be plenty. Avoid fertilizer with ammonia nitrogen, it will cause rapid growth, but will lead to thatch over time. Iron and sulfer will give you deep green color, with out excessive top growth-less mowing.

Aerating established turf can really help with compaction, and helps break down any thatch you might have. 

Adjust your mower to 2.5-3”, and leave it there. Sports turf can be mowed lower, but requires more intensive care. 

Consider other ground covers in full shade areas. Many other plants will give us a neat green appearance, often with lower water needs.

Minimize turf areas, then focus on the best quality turf possible, you’ll have an outdoor living space the neighbors will all envy.
