Summer 2021: So much sunshine, so many dry days...

Hello Sunshine

Greetings, friends!

Wow, what a busy year this has been. We can't believe how quickly the days can fly by. We also can't believe how many days have gone by without any rainfall! It is dry out there, so very dry! We hope you have set your watering schedule to early in the morning or later in the evening to get the most out of the water. Refer to our blog section for more watering information.

Lawn Care Services

Corn gluten

We are currently applying corn gluten to our lawn care clients' properties. This amazing product is non-gmo and completely organic. We love it because it can help a drought-stressed lawn begin to green up and thrive. This summer has been so hard on most of the lawns we visit, and corn gluten can add pop back into your tired lawn.

We are starting to look ahead to fall aeration and overseed services

This has been a very hard summer for our lawns. If you think your lawn would benefit from an additional aeration and overseed service this fall, please let us know as soon as possible. Aeration will help to open up the hardpacked surface, and overseeding will fill in any bare areas.

When the rainy season returns, you will see the benefit of fall aeration and overseeding. It helps prevent additional compaction and thinning of lawns. A thin, compacted lawn is likely to have more moss growth.

If you have any questions about this service, please let us know.

Let's talk about mulching

Adding mulch to your landscape beds instantly makes a vibrant change. Mulch is beautiful! The dark, rich color of composted mulch allows your plants to pop with color.

Along with this added beauty comes all the beneficial aspects of mulch. Mulch will protect the root zone of your plants from weather extremes, suppress weeds and conserve water.

Mulching every year or every other year is an investment, but the payoff is huge. Your garden will be much happier and healthier.

If you are interested in mulching your landscape, give us a call for a bid.

Tree and Shrub Care Services

Sea kelp

We are currently applying sea kelp throughout our tree care clients' properties. We have been doing deep root feedings to plants that are stressed due to the recent heat wave.

Water is crucial for plants to survive and thrive!

Please continue watering your landscape. The small amount of rain that fell recently was not enough to make a difference. Most landscapes we are seeing are very dry!
