Schedule Updates

AUGUST 2017

Irrigation Installation, Service & Repairs
We are performing the Sprinkler System Checks & Repair services. You should have your irrigation set to run 4-5 days per week, 10 minutes on pop-up zones and 20-25 minutes on rotating zones. Give us a call if you are ready to get on the schedule. If you are interested in having an irrigation system installed, please give the office a call at 913-829-6135.

Turf Maintenance
We are applying Round 5 of our 7 Round Turf Program. Round 5 is a liquid application targeting nutsedge, broadleaf, and grassy weeds in the lawn. Turf Managers will also assess lawns at this time to determine if and what is needed as far as a Fall Lawn Renovation. Aeration, verticutting and overseeding being the common items to be done in order to keep the lawn full and thick. If you are interested in starting your personalized turf health plan please give us a call.

Plant Health Care
We are currently applying Round 3 of our plant insecticide program for the 2017 season. Round 3 is a treatment to control primarily spider mites on spruce, junipers and burning bush. Please call to schedule a consultation with one of our certified Arborist today.

Mowing Service
The mowing season has begun and will run weekly from now until the end of October. Due to the rainy weather they may be behind a day or two but will work weekends to catch up. If you are interested in the weekly mowing service, please contact the office.

February 5th Snowfall

 Today’s storm once again has the weather people heading in several directions. I decided to control our streets and commercial properties with an early morning salt application to allow for safe morning rush travel. Once the precipitation turned over from rain to sleet we began salt applications and had all surfaces treated by 6:30 am.

The consensus forecast is for a heavy snow band to move through the metro in the next few hours leaving anywhere from 1-3” by noon. Light snow showers will continue until late afternoon or early evening. I plan on monitoring the snowfall and waiting out the heavy accumulation. Once we see the back end of the storm we will begin removal of snow on the streets (and commercial main drives if it is prior to 4:00pm.) If accumulation requirements are met, we will next immediately begin removal of snow on residential properties and should have those addressed during the evening hours and overnight.
