Grub Control
Grubs are the larval stage of beetles. There are many types of grubs but the ones which live in the dirt under grass are most likely Japanese Beetle, June Beetle, MayBeetle, Black Turfgrass, Asiatic Garden or some other regional beetle which lays eggs whose larva feed on plants. Grubs live just under grass, usually6 inches to a few feet down, all of which depends on their species, food supplies and the time of year. Grub damage is by far the most common type ofdamage sustained in turf grass throughout the United States . Early detectionwill give you the upper hand when combating thispest.

No, not the British rock invasion you were hoping for, but the Japanese kind that can invade and destroy your landscaping.  Pest management and control can be very involved, time consuming & complicated.  Identification, timing, control methods, weather monitoring, application rates & neighbor notification of use, are all components that you need to consider when trying to manage & control pests.

Aeration  & Overseeding
Aeration is one of the best things that we do as preventative medicine for lawns. Aeration loosens the soil and allows air, water, and nutrients to reach your lawn roots. It is also the best way to help correct the problem of excessive thatch build-up. Additionally, aeration of the lawn improves drainage and the take-up of water by the grass and it encourages deep root growth. Overseeding your lawn will help to fill in sparse areas in your lawn where the grass has died off. Our professionals can top dress, aerate, and overseed your lawn resulting in a more lush and healthy lawn which will make your yard the envy of your street.
 
Proper Tree Staking  Our Newest Products
 Tree staking is probably one of the most commonly debated practices among professionals in the green industry.  Like most horticultural practices there are pros and cons surrounding each.  Proper staking of a newly planted tree can help establish the root system, protect it from the runaway lawnmower and weed whacker or the neighborhood kids.

The tree staking system that I prefer to use  is called “Stake-It-Easy”.  As it’s name suggests, the stakes are easy to install and the kit comes completely assembled with all the parts you need to properly stake a small tree or shrub (up to 1.5” in caliper/diameter).  The easy to adjust and tie nylon rope gets fed through the hole in the custom designed stake.  The rubber branch protectors are the only part touching the stem or branches of your tree which will help prevent scaring or rubbing.  A hammer is all you need to pound the stakes securely into the ground. 
The object is to keep the tree straight while the roots get established.  However, make sure the ropes are not so taught that the tree doesn’t have some wiggle room.  Staking it too tight can increase the risk of snapping the stem or causing damage to the tree.  As your tree grows, periodically check and adjust the tension.  Stakes can usually be removed after the first year.

Why is this Shrub Wearing a Coat?  Home Page
I’m wearing this coat because I’m tired of being sprayed in the face with sticky deer repellants that serve to only anger the deer tugging and  munching on my leaves.  I’m wearing this coat because I’m tired of being wrapped in scratchy burlap that burns my leaves and becomes unraveled leaving me exposed during the windiest of days.  I’m wearing this coat because I’m tired of cold winds that dry out  my youthful leaves, pre-maturely aging  me.  I’m wearing this coat because I’m tired of heavy snow and ice breaking my branches.  I’m wearing this coat because finally my owner cared enough to get me the best in winter plant protection.  They bought me a Shrub Coat.  Now all my problems are solved and I emerge healthy and green in the spring.

Fungicide
Fungicides were invented to prevent certain fungi from attacking plants.  Once you have a fungus problem, fungicides have to be applied at higher rates and often have to be applied more than once at the high rate.  Using a fungicide as a preventative tool will save you money, time and maybe your plants and shrubbery.
