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.

Tracking Emerald Ash Borer

Well, it has been almost 2 years since Emerald Ash Borer was discovered in Parkville, MO.  Where are we at now?  The bad news is that it shows no signs of slowing down.  Since January, I have personally found three confirmed infestations from North Overland Park to the far southern reaches of Johnson County.  Hold on to your hat everyone…it’s going to be a long, painful ride!  While there have been many publications and differing opinions about EAB, the basic facts remain the same.

  • It only attacks Ash trees (There has been some evidence that it will attack Fringetrees, but the research is unproven at best)
  • It has no known natural enemy in North America
  • Signs that a tree is infected include small “D” shaped exit holes in the bark, thinning canopy, volunteers or watersprouts at the base of the tree and increased woodpecker activity.
  • TREES CAN BE TREATED EFFECTIVELY!!!  Removal is not always the best remedy.  Treatment is effective and has substantial value.

Please call us if you have Ash trees and are interested in treating them.
