Second pour of the driveway , retaining wall installed and back filled , lights added under the caps . Now to remove some bushes , topsoil and seed and this one’s complete .

Two small Hydroseed jobs today in these areas are heavily shaded so no problems this time of the year .

Pour one done ! The crew killed it today, couldn’t ask for a better day ! Retaining wall next and then final pour next week .

Getting to a good start on our next project . .

All wrapped up on this one. Don’t mind the shadowing , pictures were taken right after the rain .

All of our hydroseed customers please read this it is very informative about your new lawn and or your shrubs .

It certainly has been a strange year weather wise so far. Our growing season is roughly 3 weeks ahead of where it normally is for june 14th.
We have seen some strange weather patterns in previous weeks and I would like to talk about our upcoming hot dry spell. Starting Sunday June 16 we will be headed into what could be a record week for extremely hot temperatures.
Temperatures are forecasted to be above 90 degrees for at least 6 days.
What this means to your lawns and plants is extreme water loss due to Evapotranspiration or ET.

Evapotranspiration is the name given to the total water loss to the atmosphere from a land surface, usually expressed in units of depth; it includes the water v***r ev***rating from the soil surface and from the liquid water on plant surfaces together with that transpired from within plant surfaces.

Plants breathe through a process called Transpiration.
This occurs when the leaf surface becomes dry either from hot sun or wind. At this time the plant basically asks the roots to send up more water to the leaves to keep them hydrated.
When there is no more water for the roots to send the plant becomes dehydrated and starts its stress phase.

Evapotranspiration occurs when the ground and the plant both become dehydrated due to atmospheric conditions ie sun, wind, and extremely high temperatures.

Some mature plants will be able to survive short spells of this while others may not survive.

According to Dr. Tyler Carr from Ohio State we will be loosing 1.6” of water next week to ET. Lawns generally require 1” of water over the course of a week. This will be significantly more in the coming week than the usual requirements.

If you haven’t started your regular watering routine yet like I have we suggest you get started a.s.a.p..

To achieve 1” per week I run our sprinklers generally 45 minutes per zone or area 3 times per week to achieve adequate soil moisture. This is for larger areas of turf. For smaller areas like tree lawns and side yards I do it for 15-20 minutes.

For those of you that are unable to water or do not wish to that is ok, but I would expect to do some fall seeding or a lawn replacement at the appropriate time.

Plants are also going to suffer greatly from this so if you have a favorite shrub or tree you may want to show it some love in the coming week.

The lawn below we see on our regular dog walk and is a classic example of drought stress that has already started.

Please resist mowing until it rains again and stay off your lawns in general.

THANK YOU to all our loyal customers and our huge growing list of new customers for making this dream possible‼️

We demolished this worn-out driveway and prepped it for a fresh start. After careful formwork and meticulous grading, we've added three tri-axle truckloads of gravel to create a solid base. 💪

Stay tuned for the final reveal! Next week, we'll be pouring concrete to complete this driveway transformation. 👀
