Establishing and maintaining quality annual color beds requires a plan to prevent and control natural horticultural occurrences. Most damages related to ornamental plants are caused by a lack of water, light, and nutrients as well as insects and diseases that reduce aesthetic quality and plant growth. To minimize these problems, WeedPro Lawn Care has developed a comprehensive flower management program that includes not only weed management but also all aspects of flower maintenance. A successful flower display involves more than just planting and watering. It requires experience, dedication, and hard work! Here’s a brief description of our program.

Site & Planting Bed Preparation 

• Perennial broadleaf weeds and sedges are eliminated before planting.
• Old plant material, roots, and mulch are removed from the existing flower beds.
• Soil cultivation techniques, fertilizer, lime, and organic soil amendments are added to enhance Microbe activity.

Flower Installation 

• A 3.5” sized root ball (18 plants per flat) is required for all plants used.
• Most winter plants are spaced at 8” on the center. Flowers are then planted at grade level (top of root ball flushed with re-graded soil surface).
• Flowers are mulched with pine bark mini-nuggets to help hold in moisture. Plants are thoroughly hand-watered and all debris is removed and cleared from the site.

Flower Maintenance 

• Maintenance begins approximately six weeks following plant installation.
• Chemical treatments are applied as needed including organic fertilizers, organic insecticides, and fungicide treatments.
• Plant displays are kept trimmed and neat and flowers are deadheaded as to standard practice and plant requirements.
• The bark is freshened-up as needed.
