APRIL IS NATIONAL LAWN AND GARDEN MONTH 

By Trey Collier 

April is National Lawn and Garden month! This gives you a wonderful reason to get outside and 

get your backyard and garden ready. Whether you are starting from scratch or are an experienced 

pro, here are several tips that you can use to celebrate Lawn and Garden month in style! 

Consider Backyard Composting - Composting is nature’s process of recycling decomposed 

organic materials into a rich soil known as compost. Backyard composting is an acceleration 

of the process that occurs in nature. It is recycling at its finest! Use kitchen waste (such as 

food or paper towels), lawn clippings and wood chips to provide rich and powerful soil for your 

garden and lawn. Anything that was once living will decompose, giving you endless options for 

composting. Composting is good for your plants and for you! Adding organic materials to the soil 

improves moisture retention. It provides a balanced, slow-release source of nutrients that helps 

the soil hold nutrients long enough for plants to use them. Healthier plants means a healthier you! 

It will also save you money because you will no longer have to buy fertilizer. Add a compost bin 

to your garden and start today! 

Add a fountain - Outdoor fountains offer an easy and affordable way to add style to your lawn or 

garden. The soothing sound of running water will help to create a tranquil and relaxing escape 

from the hustle and bustle of everyday life. Transform your garden into your own personal 

paradise! 

Consider adding variety - If you are fond of flower gardening, venture into edible vegetables! 

You will be thrilled with the sense of accomplishment you feel when you feed your family 

fresh, healthy produce that you grew on your own. Beans, squash, cucumbers, lettuce/greens, 

tomatoes, peppers, beets and garlic are all great vegetables to start with. They are relatively 

easy to maintain and will offer beautiful variety. If you are already growing your own vegetables, 

consider planting an eye catching flower garden (try marigold, lupine, daisy or wildflower mix 

seeds). Fruits are also a great option. Apples, figs, blueberries, blackberries and raspberries are 

great for beginners. Variety is the spice of life! 

Go high-tech - Modern technology impacts our daily life. Why not let it impact your backyard? 

There are several innovations in outdoor living that you will wonder how you ever lived without. 

The Robomower will make mowing your lawn virtually effortless. No more back-breaking work 

and labor intensive afternoons spent cutting grass. You simply install special sensors around 

the perimeter of your yard and push a button. It doesn’t get much easier than that! Another 

product worth trying is the Mosquito Eliminator. Gone are the days of tacky bug zappers and 

pesky insects at parties. It is so beautiful that your guests will never guess that it is fighting 

mosquitoes and other pests. The Eliminator uses high-tech black light technology to cover up

Thank you and please be safe… 

OIL STAIN CLEAN UP 

1. Clean up any fresh oil stains by blotting the surface with newspaper. 

2. Sprinkle a layer of clay-based cat box litter over the top of the oil stain. You 

want to completely cover the stain so that you can no longer see it through 

the litter. The litter will soak up the oil from the concrete. 

3. Monitor the color of the litter several times while it is sitting on the stain. 

As the oil becomes absorbed into the litter, it will change to a darker color. 

When the litter changes colors, remove the old litter by sweeping it up with a 

broom. Dispose of the discolored litter as you did the oil-soaked newspapers. 

Sprinkle more litter onto the stain the same way you did in the prior step 

and continue to let it soak up the oil. Leave the stain covered with litter for a 

minimum of one day. Clean away all the litter after 24 hours. Sweep up the 

litter and dispose of it. 

4. Apply a liquid dish detergent with grease-cutting agents to the oil stain. 

Use a scrub brush to rub the detergent into the stain. 

5. Allow the detergent to settle for five minutes, then scrub the detergent into 

the stain again using short, circular movements. 

6. Pour 1 cup of boiling water on to the dish detergent covered stain. Use 

your scrub brush to rub the water and soap into the stain. Take care not to 

burn yourself. 

7. Blot up the now oily and soapy water with newspaper after the mixture has 

cooled for several minutes. Dispose of the newspaper. Continue to blot the 

area until you have absorbed all of the oily water. 

8. Pour another 2 cups of boiling water over the stain. This will wash away 

any oily water that was not absorbed by the newspaper. Be careful not to 

burn yourself. If the stain is still present, repeat the process.

REGULAR WATERING 

Regular watering, mowing, edging and weeding are ongoing homeowner 

maintenance responsibilities. Your neighbors love you when you do your 

part to keep the community beautiful and they complain to others when you 

don’t. Your Association management team is receiving an abundance of calls 

concerning dying grass and lack of mowing/edging/weeding. Please note, 

your management team is sending out violation letters and charging back for 

‘force mows.’ If dying grass cannot be brought back to life, the resident will 

have to go to the expense to re-sod. For all our residents who consistently 

do an excellent job at maintaining, we sincerely thank you for your hard work. 

CALL BEFORE YOU DIG REQUEST 

Before performing work on your property, call the “Texas One Call System 

at 811.” They will mark the location of the utility lines easement within your 

property. Remember, damages to any utility lines within your property can 

affect services to YOU and YOUR neighbor’s homes. Thanks for taking time 

to call before you dig!

service.

GARDENING TIPS FOR APRIL 

Mulch - If possible, buy Bagged Mulch. Bagging helps eliminate a great 

many pests that die from various causes while in the bag. When you buy 

‘loose’ mulch that is trucked to your home, you are also buying ants, roaches, 

termites, etc… Spend a little more on bagged material and save lots of 

future pest problems. Keep your mulch at least 4” - 6” below the top of your 

homes exposed foundation edge/side. This will aid in minimizing pests in 

your home and allow for quick and accurate termite inspections. 

Shrubs, Flowers and groundcovers - Trim all shrubs/plants at least 12” 

- 18” back from your home. Do your best to create a plant free zone that is 

18” - 24” wide around your home. The exception is your lawn - it can grow up 

next to the slab as long as you keep it 4” - 6” below the top of the slab. The 

most conducive to termite infestation are groundcover plantings, growing 

high against your homes exterior or (especially) ivy that grows on your walls. 

Trees - Spray your trees at least twice annually. The spring spray eliminates 

overwintering pests and fungi while preparing trees to resist the pest 

onslaught of summer with residual pesticides. The fall spray also kills pests 

from the summer, prevents most fungi from occurring over the winter and 

puts your valuable asset off to a healthy winter’s dormancy. 

Lawn - Spring is the perfect time to do a fungicide treatment to stop brown 

patch in its tracks along with other fungi. If your lawn is thin and weak in 

some areas, here are some important fundamentals: a) lawn aeration b) 

fertilization c) weed control. 

Most important is proper watering: 

• Water once per week (unless you get a 1/2” rain or more - then do not 

water.) 

• Water heavily (1” - 2”) for total lawn coverage. 

• In severe drought, water every 5 th day. 

• Water from 5 AM to 7 AM in the morning - NOT AT NIGHT. 

• A heavy deep weekly watering makes the turf grow deeper, stronger and 

more drought resistant roots. 

• Less watering also saves you money!! 

TEENAGE JOB SEEKERS 

If you are between 12 and 18 and would like to be added to the teenage job
