Leaf Season
Fall is here and that means leaves. Our leaf truck is up and ready. Our crews are on-site with rakes, buckets and blowers. Leaves are messy and, when wet, can be dangerous, hiding hazards and making walkways slippery. They can smother lawns if left in place too long. We clean them up thoroughly and quickly. However, as we drive away the leaves continue to fall until the trees are bare for winter and leaf clean-up is over for 2020.
Mowing is slowing down during the leaf season. We will continue to mow when needed, and, as the rains set in, we will work around the weather to avoid lawn damage. Leaf clean-up will be our focus. To help hurry the work along we prioritize areas, build piles and bring in our leaf vacuum truck to remove and process the leaves for composting. We apologize for the unavoidable noise leaf removal causes.
Crabgrass
Soon we will be applying preemergent herbicide where lawns are struggling with crabgrass and other unwanted annual plants that self-seed.
Irrigation, Backflow, Stormwater
Your irrigation system should be off and winterized, and your backflow device tested and insulated. if not, call us and we will take care of it. If you need your stormwater collection system inspected please let us know. We can help there too!
