To put it gently, the land in South Carolina can be fickle. Everyone’s landscape is slightly different, but if you follow these instructions in order your yard stands a much better chance of lasting through the heat and humidity of summer. Here are 6 simple lawn care tips to eliminate weeds this spring:
