Mulch Installation
To keep your beds and landscape well manicured it is beneficial to lay down new mulch each year. After cleaning and edging your beds if needed, we lay down the attractive natural mulch of your choice, beautifying your beds and minimizing weed growth. We also install bed edging.

We have a bed edger that makes clean, deep edges from your grass and mulch. The purpose is so grass will not jump into your beds and it gives a manicured appearance around your beds. We can mulch your beds anytime of the year with a team of employees that are well trained.

Pre-emergence Weed Control In Beds
Are you tired of weeding your beds all summer? Let us put down a pre-emergence weed control in your beds. This is a granular product that is spread on your beds early in the spring right after the snow melts and the ground begins to thaw. The result is it prevents weeds and grasses from germinating and growing in your beds! We can lay down broadleaf and grass preventer without harming the existing plants in your beds

Vegetation Control on Gravel, Stone and Pavement Areas
This is a vegetation control applied to all unwanted weeds and grasses that may have traveled to your beds, rocks, gravel areas to give your property a clean and manicured appearance. This usually has to be done two times a season, once in June and then again in August. We would be happy to provide this service for you to keep your gravel areas looking beautiful and weed free.

Birch and Ash Tree Borer
These trees can be attacked by several kinds of borers that eat through the tree's vascular tissue, eventually shutting down the flow of sugars, water and nutrients up and down the tree. Early damage to White Birch and several types of Ash trees usually begins with several branches dying in the upper crown of the tree, then more and larger sections die as the borers spread throughout the tree. Depending on the size of the trees and the situation, we can provide spring or fall treatments to your trees.

For smaller trees, we inject the product into the ground under the tree, and the tree slowly takes it in through the roots. Uptake is enhanced on warm days and moist soil, and the insecticide translocates through the entire tree, making the tree noxious to the borers and any other insects that would eat on the tree. For larger trees, we usually inject the product directly into the tree, and the tree efficiently moves the insecticide throughout the branches and leaves.

Japanese Beetle
Did you have Japanese Beetles everywhere last year? While the adult beetles have some favorite trees they eat (linden, crabapple, elm, red leaf trees, birch) they also like a number of flowers and bushes (especially roses).

We can spray your trees for Japanese Beetles so they will no longer destroy your trees. The other concern is for lawns in that their juvenile stage is a white grub that eats the roots of grass plants. We can provide a grub treatment that will give you season long prevention of grubs in your lawn as a result of your Japanese Beetle.

Crabapple Trees
Keep your crabapple trees looking beautiful all season long! Apple Scab is a fungus that attacks apple and crabapple trees. In early stages, the leaves have dark green spots on them. Later, the spots turn brown, then the leaves turn yellow and/or dry up and fall off, often leaving the tree almost empty of leaves by late July. The solution is Apple Scab Treatments. The tree must be treated before the leaves become infected with the scab fungus.

Vital and Green comes and treats your trees twice during the spring, just when the timing is right, protecting your trees from this debilitating and obnoxious ailment for the rest of the growing year.

Lilac and Viburnum Borer Treatments
Spring is the time to protect your Lilac and Viburnum from borer attack. The wasp-like moths are laying their eggs at the basal 12 inches of the plant. These trees and ornamentals can be attacked by borers that eat through the vascular tissue and kill them.

Heavily infested plants appear unhealthy, and often show swelling, cracks and emergence holes at the base of the plant. These Borers attack from ground level.  Gnarled and scarred bases of stems are a sure sign of attack, and dead stems will literally snap off at ground level. We can apply a spring treatment that will provide season long protection for your bushes (sorry, but treatments will not reverse branches that are already heavily damaged).

Longneedle Pine Treatments
Pine sawfly larvae will attack the needles of Austrian Pine trees and Mugho Pine bushes in beds. These ugly green-black caterpillars live in colonies that can strip the needles off an entire bush or section of a bush or tree within a relatively short period of time, leaving it ugly, defoliated, and damaged. We can spry for those troublesome pests in May, and protect your trees for you.

Some long needle pines, and also spruce trees, can be attacked by Needlecast, a fungal disease that does what the name implies: causes the needles to fall off the trees. Over the period of several years, the tree can loose almost all its needles if not treated. Infection can happen throughout the year, but the best time to begin treatments is when the new growth begins to appear on the pine or spruce trees.
