If you want a beautiful weed free lawn this spring, now is the time to get started. We recommend spraying your weeds before you fertilize your lawn. By spraying while your grass is dormant, you are able to directly treat your weeds before new sod growth develops this spring. A mixture of Atrazine and Weed Free Zone targets a majority of the most aggressive weeds in our climate.
Atrazine controls both emerged weeds as well as weed from seed in St. Augustine and Centipede grass. *Only use during the cold months. Do NOT spray near trees.
Weed Free Zone controls over 80 of the toughest to control broadleaf weeds like clover, ivy, button weed, thisle, and virgina button weed. * Can be applied year round.
Both of these products are available at Plant Tech
Prune your Crepe Myrtles
Crepe Myrtles bloom on new growth BUT there is no need to butcher your trees to get more blooms. Pruning correctly prevents turning a beautiful Crepe Myrtle into ugly stumps. Follow these simple tips for proper pruning.
*Never cut more than 12– 15” off of each branch.
*Never cut a branch that is larger than a pencil.
*Prune any suckers coming from the base.
*You can also prune any side branches growing from the main trunk, but be selective.
Correct pruning can create a well spaced main branch with nice bark and beautiful blooms.
Preventatives!!
Instead of spraying for insects in the spring put out a Systemic Insecticide NOW!
A systemic is applied to the ground and incor-porates itself through the plant and into the leaves. This is not a contact kill chemical, it prevents the insects from eating the pant. Thus preventing Aphids and Sooty mold!!!
