Hello from your Landscaping Team!
Weekly Highlights: Fall is in the AIR!!
Pruning:
- We have seen a tremendous catch up in the last month. As we get complete with Section 7 this week and are treated we will see a much steady even trim cycle. The rejuvenation cuts performed last spring and into the summer months are starting to show. Plants are denser and dark green. We are excited to see how we get the seasonal flush of flowers this fall. Many of the plants are now in budget. This said you will see a different approach to the flowering plant material.
- We have completed an application of growth enhancer and regulator in all the sections. This will be a 2 part treatment one now and one as we come into March and April. As with all the much needed cuts complete it will be a completely different management load next year. Attached you will find the flier for the plant health care product we are using. We will still be working towards bringing all the hedge material where approximate to the 6 foot range as we cycle through the fall / winter months.
