Winter Planting |
Winter is an ideal time to install new trees and shrubs. Cooler weather allows the new plants to grow and become established before the heat of our summers. The key to new planting success is not to plant the shrub or tree too deep!! Planting too deep causes the hole to hold water and rot the roots of the plant. |

It is time to REAPPLY your Fertilizers.
**Remember the trick to these chemicals is to apply every three months. March, June and September.
BEDS, SHRUBS AND TREES:
Florikan 12.6.6. is a great all purpose fertilizer. It is a slow-release granular that provides a complete feeding for your flower beds, trees, shrubs and seasonal color. This last application will take you through the fall and winter.
LAWN: Due to our South Louisiana climate we recommend waiting until October to apply the GroSmart Fall step to your lawn.
Herbicides and Insecticides
Weeds, bugs and mosquitos can get out of control this time of year. We have a simple solution. Apply these granular Pre-Emergent herbicides and Insecticides to get your yard back in shape.
Dimension is a pre-emergent herbicide used in ornamental landscape areas, and established lawns. It will prevent weed seeds from germinating in your flower beds. Sprinkle over your existing beds every three months year round.
Bug Blaster is broad spectrum insecticide that controls insect pests in lawns and landscapes. Bug Blaster should be applied through-out your yard to control fire ants, fleas, ticks, mole crickets, chinch bugs, crane flies, scorpions, and other listed pests.
