The Grass Factor: Recent Episodes
The Grass Factor
We explore the science behind why we do what we do in lawn care. Tune in every week to hear us discuss the questions submitted by you the user. We feature special guests and episodes, such as Pick The Docâs Brain with The Green Doc of Hawaii, and others!
Thanks to all you wonderful people (and our confirmed corporate match) we were able to cross that $15k threshold tonight for our 2024 St. Jude's Fundraiser.
While the corporate match won't show up on our fundraising page you can still visit it and make a donation if you are of means.
Either way, enjoy the shenanigans of tonight's episode as Santa joins us along the journey to $15k.

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!
