The ingredients are sun, water, and food (fertilizer.) Where things get tricky is with our weather in North Texas. Founded in 1980, Village Green has been through many summer seasons in North Texas. And what we`ve learned over the years is it is imperative to make sure your sprinkler system is ready and in peak performance for our hot and dry summer months. If it is not, your lawn will become stressed when our temperatures start hitting the nineties and our conditions become drier. If you want to do it yourself, check out our tips for checking your sprinkler system below. Or better yet, give us a call at 972-495-6990 and let one of our certified sprinkler technicians come out for a system check and help you program your controller for proper summer watering. We`re also focused on spot treating for summer weeds like crabgrass and nutsedge and treatments for chinch bugs, grubs, and fire ants. We typically don`t see any grub or chinch bug issues in late spring, but now is the time to do preventative measures for both (especially chinch bugs which thrive in our hot, dry months.) If you aren`t currently using Village Green for your lawn`s health, we would love to earn you business. Founded in 1980, we are a family-owned and operated lawn and landscape company–Call 972-495-6990 or email Info@VillageGreen-Inc.com for more information.","sdescription":" 0 sddefault 480 maxresdefault","date":"2022-06-02","thumbnail":"","hd":"yes","hits":"","likes":"","start":"0","stop":"","status":"1","views":"62"}]
[{"type":"0","id":"4nb8uoTT_WI","title":"A Bucket Can Help You Understand How Much Should You Be Watering Your Lawn this Summer - trial","author":"Village Green Lawn & Landscape","author2":"Village Green Lawn & Landscape","duration":"2:21","description":"How much should you be watering your lawn this summer in North Texas is a question we get asked a lot? The short answer is roughly an hour per week per zone, assuming you are using a standard sprinkler spray head. Where do we get that number? Imagine placing a bucket full of water in the middle of your lawn in full sun. If you came back and checked that bucket after a week, you`d find that it has lost about an inch of water. A lawn is no different. Your lawn loses about an inch of water per week during the summer. We recommend an hour per work per zone because a standard spray sprinkler head takes about an hour to put out an inch of water. When we ask people how long they are watering in the summer, we generally hear for about 30 minutes which is not long enough. Consider that bucket in the middle of the lawn if we are only adding half of an inch per week (what a standard spray sprinkler head will put out in 30 minutes) while losing an inch per week when we come back at the end of the month, the bucket will have a lot less water. It won`t be empty. But it won`t be enough to keep your lawn thriving through our hot summer months. As summer progresses, your soil will get progressively dryer, making it difficult for the grassroots to reach down into your soil to get to the water. If your sprinkler system has rotary heads, you want to be watering about 50% to double the time of standard spray sprinkler heads since rotary heads have to cover twice the area to deliver the same amount of water.

[{"type":"0","id":"q-0TeHwH6gg","title":"This is the Most Common Problem we see in Bermuda Lawns - trial","author":"Village Green Lawn & Landscape","author2":"Village Green Lawn & Landscape","duration":"2:30","description":"I wanted to talk to you today about the most common problem we see with bermudagrass lawns (Underwatering.) Keep in mind that we`ve had a lot of rain this spring which means the problem stems from being underwatered last summer (and probably many summers before that since it takes a lot to damage bermudagrass lawns.) The most common area where we see bermudagrass struggle is in parkways (like today`s video.) Parkways are especially troublesome because they don`t make a sprinkler head covering their rectangular shape (spray heads are circular, so they don`t cover parkways that well.) The example in the video goes beyond sprinkler coverage. This patch of lawn is a classic example of underwatered bermudagrass struggling because of a lack of proper watering. That is why it is crucial now to make sure your sprinkler system is ready for summer watering. If it is not, your lawn will become stressed when our temperatures start hitting the nineties, and our conditions become drier. If you want to do it yourself, you can find tips on checking your system on our website.
