Ask Alice

Hi friends, Alice here! I’m a chocolate lab, and when spring comes around, I know it’s time for my favorite yard inspections: sniffing the shrubs, checking out the hedges, and ensuring all is ready for a fresh season of growth.

Hi friends, Alice here! I love winter in New Hampshire: the crunchy snow under my paws, fresh flakes covering the yard, and all the new smells that come with a good storm.

When snow sits on your grass for an extended period, it creates damp, compacted conditions. This can lead to snow mold, a lawn fungus that leaves gray or pink patches when the snow finally melts.

Winter in New Hampshire brings freezing temperatures, snow, and ice that can be tough on your lawn and garden. Without preparation, grass can thin out, soil can compact, and garden beds may lose valuable nutrients.

Fall may feel like the coziest season, but it’s also one of the most critical times for lawn care.

You might think summer is the only time your grass needs attention, but I know that fall is just as significant! After a hot, busy summer of fetch and fun, your lawn is tired and hungry.
