2010 Year & What to expect in 2011?

Our lawns, shrubs and trees had much stress upon them this year; along with every Green industry Business Owner.



Weeds and More Weeds

Most perennial broad leaf weeds do better than your lawns during the hot summer weather. No matter how aggressive we get, they always seem to gain ground. Extreme heat, drought, lack of water, full sun areas, improper irrigation coverage, low cutting heights, out of control weed eaters and many other reasons have caused a season of weeds!

2011 is Around the Corner!

A crystal ball would be great, but do we know what we would see? Just that, a crystal ball, but we can take these fall conditions and tell you the following: Insects, crabgrass & weeds will be a factor in 2011.

Having the correct program is the first step. Second; aeration, top dressing and over seeding are musts to increase your lawns competitiveness. The best time to do is late August/early September. If need be, early spring or late fall is acceptable, but conditions might not favor the best germination or provide enough time to germinate. Third, Stangl’s liquid Calcium (Lime) is the fastest acting product on the market. The liquid calcium distributed to all parts of the grass plant within 72hrs. Last is your practical habits! With all the right stuff, it comes down to how you water and cut! A lawn care program cannot provide you the lawn without your part.

These chemicals were destructive to the soil, environment, animals and humans. You will definitely see the difference with the degree of control from those chemicals which provided fast destruction to the weed or insect.
