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.

Spider Mites & Bagworms

We've seen our first sightings  this season of Spider Mites and Bagworms!  Spider Mites are wreaking havoc on Burning Bushes and Bagworms are just getting hungrier by the day..Spider Mites typically feed on Burning Bush and Alberta Spruces.  The best way to test for them is the "White paper test".  Hold a sheet of white paper under the bush and give it a shake.  If you see ground pepper sized insects on the paper, you have a problem and need to treat.  The plant will also brown out and there will be small webbing that is most noticeable in the morning when there is dew.  Chemicals used to treat are miticides.  Choose one that kills both the adults and eggs.  Although expensive, Forbid 4f is a great product for Spider Mites.  Bagworms feed primarily on evergreens like Junipers, Spruce and Arborvitaes.  They are easily controlled with most insecticides especially in the early stages when they are small.
