If you want a beautiful weed free lawn this spring, now is the time to get started. We recommend spraying your weeds directly before you fertilize your lawn in March. By spraying while your grass is dormant, you are able to directly treat them 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 cool months. Do NOT spray with temperatures over 90 degrees
and do not spray in the drip line of trees.
Weed Free Zone controls over 80 of the toughest to control broadleaf weeds like clover, ivy, spurge, thistle, and virginia button weed.
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.
- Resist Pruning anything right now after our hard freezes. Let the foliage protect the plant. Wait until March and let everything warm up.
Preventatives!!
Instead of spraying for insects in the spring put out a Systemic Insecticide NOW!
A systemic is applied to the ground and incorporates itself through the plant and into the leaves. Preventing Aphids and Sooty mold!
