"In the ‘battle of beetles,’ I thought my 30-year-old snow ball bush was a goner. However, the treatments and pruning you recommended produced these wonderful results."

What is the difference between your Organic Program vs. your Regular Program?

The Organic Program does not include any controls for weeds, crabgrass, or insects. The fertilizer we use for this consists of poultry droppings. There is no control over the "release" of nutrients into the soil. The "regular" fertilizer is a sulfur-coated granule that allows for the timely release of the nutrients into your soil where they can feed your turfgrass roots.

How come I don't get fertilizer on every visit?

We use high quality, sulfur coated, slow release granular fertilizer. The sulfur coating releases the nutrients slowly into the soil. Fertilizer will still be there by the time we come back for your next scheduled fertilizer treatment.

I've heard that you need to apply grub control twice in a season. Is that true?

No. If you have grub damage in the spring, it was caused by the problem you had the previous fall. You won't have that problem if grub control is applied at the proper time. We use MERIT* for grub control. It is designed to control insects when they are most vulnerable. Any grubs you have in the spring are ones that have been over wintering in your soil and are ready to become beetles. They would not be affected much by insect control at such a late stage in development.
