I received a visit from Garry Klammer, a franchise owner of Turf Logic in Kelowna the other day for a free consultation on my lawn. He is a walking knowledgebase of lawn care tips and advice.

I had met him earlier at the Mayors Environmental Expo and he provided us with tips on mowing the lawn properly and watering in a responsible manner.

He told me my soil was in good condition and so was my yard. He advised that I should think about getting slit-seeding done in patches where grass was missing along with aeration and provided me with a quote.

He also told me to get a moisture measuring device from Rona that would help me determine the moisture levels of the lawn so that I can water only when necessary.
