A little bit of Spring and a whole lot of green!

by Dustin Martin Comment Closed
Now that Spring is here and the cold weather is mostly gone, we were able to capture some shots of the green that has come in! All of the rain, irrigation, and fertilizer has made for some beautiful fields around Crosby and we're glad to see it! We're gearing up for the busiest time of the year and the grass is here to help us do it!           ...

Color Comparison – Celebration Bermuda versus Empire

Color Comparison – Celebration Bermuda versus Empire

by murffturf Comment Closed
We wanted to give an example of the color difference between Celebration Bermuda and Empire and it just so happens that we have both of these grasses next to each other in our office yard and our neighbors yard.  We aren't saying one is better than the other and there are different reasons for using one or the other but we just wanted to show the BIG difference in color. The grass in the foreground in the picture below is Empire and Celebration is in the background. Keep in mind that the Celebration in this picture is mowed probably every 3 days with a reel mower.  Homeowners typically have rotary mowers and probably won't want to mow that often either.  Celebration doesn't have to be mowed with a reel mower and doesn't have to be mowed every 3 days but this particular yard is maintained that way so just wanted you to be aware of that. They are both excellent grasses that we...

Finally, A Grass To Celebrate

by murffturf Comment Closed
September 1, 2011 In Texas, dove hunting began today and those hunters lucky enough to find some water to hunt near will find their gun barrels with a heat index almost as hot as the Texas sun. There in lies the problem, water, or the lack thereof. I enjoy a little time in the field bird huntin' and one thing it seems that you can always count on with dove season is the rain that comes along with opening day. I realize that is a bit of a reach but that's the way it feels. With history in mind and a historical drought for the Gulf Coast of Texas on my mind I anticipated this day. I was not looking forward to showering down on a mourning dove with a blistering shower of Remington Shurshot Heavy Dove Load, but rather being showered upon by thirst quenching, life giving rain from a wave of gulf moisture. Newsflash, it's hot and dry. What does all...
