July asks hard questions of a Brookings lawn — long heat, dry wind, and a stretch of days where the difference between a healthy stand of grass and a struggling one comes down to what's happening two inches below the surface. The Bug Guy answers those questions by kneeling down and looking closely, then treating the turf accordingly rather than guessing from the curb. Lawn care and turf treatments make up the week, applied where the grass actually needs them. The result shows up slowly and then all at once: a yard that holds its color when the neighbors' have gone pale. Close attention is the entire method.
