Tree Planting Tips February 9th, 2011

Mr. Weedy says: If you planted new trees and shrubs in your landscape last year, remember to remove any gray wires stakes and especially truck wraps from small trees planted. This is especially important for tree trunks, because as they grow and mature, these wires can prohibit proper tree growth. Wires left unattended will actually grow into the tree trunk itself causing permanent damage and death to the tree if not removed.

Pre-emergent Tips February 3rd, 2011

Mr. Weedy says: Now is still a great time to consider adding fresh mulch or pine straw to your landscape areas. Preventive measures and a general rule of thumb idea to consider are as follows. Apply bed Pre-emergents to the ground surface before applying or installing these different mulch varieties. Pre-emergents can help reduce weed germination and can last up to six months if applied correctly reducing the amount of overall weed germination to your landscape areas.
