Mowing turf at appropriate heights and frequencies is a major component of a turf management plan designed to develop a dense, actively growing, attractive turf. When mowed too short, turf can become open, allowing weed invasion such as crabgrass or dandelions also turf mowed too short often has poorly-developed root systems and reduced rhizome spread, which also contributes to the development of a thin, open turf. For these reasons, it is important to find the balance that produces attractive, healthy turf in an efficient manner. |
Healthy plants are less susceptible to insect and disease problems. We can improve the quality of any landscape or lawn and bring out its true potential. We offer complete fertilization as well as weed and insect control services. Licensed by the state, we use our 30 plus years of experience to assure you optimal results with the proper application of fertilizer and other products. Services Offered:
S & A's Vegetation Control Programs can eliminate virtually all types of unwanted vegetation in the areas you want to keep clean such as : Fence Lines- if you pay someone to weed-eat grass or weeds along your fence line it is costing you more than it needs to! We can spray a strip, (approximately 8" to 12" wide) along your fence line that will eliminate the need for weed-eating and will keep your property looking well kept. Gravel Parking Lots and Driveways--Keeping weeds under control will keep gravel areas looking better, longer. Excessive weed growth will increase the need to re-gravel much sooner than a lot that is kept weed-free. Curb Lines--Elimination weeds along curbs and in the cracks of macadam will prolong the life of your streets and pavement Roadside Vegetation Control-- You will find it much more cost effective and environmentally friendly to spray unwanted vegetation than to continually cut it. Poison Ivy Control--This is a tough weed nobody wants on their property. S & A offers programs to rid your property of poison ivy. Typically, two or three applications a year will keep unwanted vegetation under control. The number of applications will vary depending on the following:
S & A can also apply pre-emergent weed controls to control weed seeds before they germinate. Natural - Organic Section The philosophy of growing turf (or anything else) ecologically is simply that a biologically healthy soil grows healthy plants. Natural fertilizers contain raw materials meant to stimulate and feed the life in the soil. The apparent low N-P-K analysis (required by law) has relatively little meaning when you are feeding the soil because those numbers refer to plant nutrients not soil nutrients. Synthetic fertilizer ingredients contain very little that will feed the life in the soil. Unfortunately, the benefits of feeding the soil cannot be quantified or qualified on any fertilizer label. When you feed soil life, those growing populations of organisms begin to accomplish many tasks that now consume great amounts of time, money and energy. For example, microorganisms serve to help: 1. Fertilize by fixing nitrogen from the air, mineralizing soil organic nutrients and dissolving mineral nutrients from rock particles 2. De-thatch, by decomposing thatch and other organic matter into valuable nutrients and humus which in turn increases the water and nutrient-holding capacity of the soil 3. Provide aeration by encouraging earthworms and biological soil aggregation 4. Control many insect and disease problems by competition, predation, and biological nutrient management. These are only four examples, derived from a far greater list. It is widely accepted by ecologists that most of the benefits we get from soil life have yet to be discovered. Plant bio-stimulants are materials that promote plant growth. The importance of bio-stimulants lies in their ability to promote hormonal activity in plants. Plant hormones are chemical communicators, or agents, which help regulate a plant’s development and its response to its surrounding environment. Bio-stimulants also promote antioxidant production in plants which, in turn, reduces “free radicals”. Free radical molecules result from stress such as drought, heat, ultraviolet light and herbicide use. Free radicals are damaging because they are strong oxidizing agents which damage lipids, proteins and DNA within plants cells. Antioxidants are metabolites and enzymes which seek out free radical molecules and protect plants from damage. They include lipid soluble substances like vitamin "E" and beta-carotene and water soluble materials such as vitamin C and various enzymes. Examples: Excerpt from Paul D. Sachs/North Country Organics Milky Spore This natural biocontrol provides grub control for Japanese Beetles. One application lasts from 3-5 years. Both adults and larvae can be controlled without the use of chemicals.
