Spring time basics

As our service programs for fertilizer and weed control normally consist of 4 applications and core aeration, we are at each property as many times. If for instance, a problem arises due to insects or fungus etc., we are just a phone call or email away. If you have concerns, they will be dealt with.
We usually aerate in the fall season but there are always a few to do in spring for new accounts in severe need. Although some companies are applying their first round already, it is still too early to do so. If the preemergent is applied too early, the herbicide will leach through the soil before it can prevent the weeds it was intended for. In my opinion, this is not only fiscally irresponsible but environmentally irresponsible too. Depending on the temperatures and sunlight during the next 10 days, we will likely start in the first week of April.
We are loaded and ready for spring!
