Turf Maintenance

A dedicated maintenance crew and supervisor will mow, edge, and trim all lawn areas to a uniform height weekly during the growing season. To avoid throwing the trash, provide a thorough trash pick-up in turf areas before mowing. Fertilize all lawn and bed areas with an appropriate, balanced fertilizer to promote growth, color, and proper root development. The chemical department will provide applications of pre-emergent herbicides targeted to the weed problem.

Unique Seasonal Color Installation & Maintenance

Our landscape consultants will meet with you to discuss your designs, varieties, and premium color selections that best suit your exposure and needs. Upon approval, our staff will prepare the color areas by removing old color, till, and prep the soil for conditioning. It is necessary to fertilize the color areas two times during the growing season.

Shrub/Tree Pruning and Bed Weeding

Dedicated crews will cut back groundcover in late winter and early spring. Prune or trim ground cover monthly using horticultural pruning techniques taking into consideration the plant's growth habits. Weed all bed areas and tree wells monthly to create a well-groomed appearance. Office and frontage color beds are cultivated weekly. The Trimming of trees allows passage in walkways and drive areas. Remove suckers from Crape-Myrtles and other trees.

Winter Rye Installation & Maintenance

In our region, the summer grass, such as Bermuda, goes dormant and turns brown in the winter. Overseeding with ryegrass is a popular option. When over-seeding, "Richmond" uses perennial ryegrass. The annual type is less expensive but could be more problematic. It grows more densely, has a less bright color, and causes weed problems.

Fungal & Insect Control: Shrub, Turf, and Ornamental Trees

Insect and disease control treatments provide a healthier, more attractive landscape and protect the landscape investment by preventing or curtailing damage caused by the infestations of insects and diseases. Healthy plants will tolerate low levels of pest populations without suffering permanent damage. Proper insect or disease diagnosis is critical in determining the correct treatment for your shrub, turf, and trees.

Fire Ants: Broadcast and Mound Treatment

The control of Fire Ants is an ongoing process of using a granular broadcast insecticide that the worker ants forage for and take back to the mound. A natural compound that kills the colony is effective; this is performed in the spring when fire ants are most active.

Tree Fertilization: Injections and Deep Root Feed

Tree and deep root injections can help recover from fungal and insect infestations. We can treat all insect and fungal diseases and include a nutrient injection and aeration for overall health. All trees will be diagnosed and proposed on an individual basis.

Dormant Oil

Dormant oil applications to trees and shrubs help manage many insect and disease problems. It will reduce populations of overwintering scale insects, aphids, mites, mealybugs, adelgids, and insect eggs. The application is made once a year during the dormant season.

Mulch

Applying mulch to plant beds is critical to maintaining healthy, attractive landscaping. Mulch helps retain moisture, which leads to healthier plants, reduces weed growth, and adds nutrients to the soil due to its natural decay.
