  • Thirsty Thursday w/ Telly Coleman

    I know, I know. Another Warm Season lawn. Telly's a different type of Warm Season though. Telly's the kind of guy to challenge the sun to a staring contest, or pay more attention to his playlist than his Bermuda. Four years ago he started on a journey to transform his newly acquired acre (and growing!) lawn into something anyone would be proud to mow. Join us and find out if he's been able to keep it green and thriving!
