Lawn
Renovations. Have heat, disease and crab grass destroyed
your lawn? Leisure Landscape crews have completed assessmentsto
determine the level of lawn repair that we need to undertake.
The levels are:
1. Overseed Barespots: Just a few spots are bare.
Correction: hand rake the spots and seed and
straw..
2. Aerate and Overseed: the lawn is basically
sound, but thin with light weeds. Correction:
aerate and overseed.
3. Renovation: the lawn is overrun with weeds.
Correction: Roundup, mechanically dethatch, hand
rake, apply seed and straw.
You
should have been notified of the level of lawn repair
needed. If you have any questions, please contact us at
919.847.1733. Herbicide treatments are underway and seeding
will be in progress over the next four weeks.
Japanese
Beetles Gone? Not quite. After doing damage to ornamental
tree and shrub foliage, they have now laid their eggs
in the lawn. If you experienced leaf damage, contact us
now for an insecticide treatment targeted to kill their
grubs. Left untreated, they will next start damaging your
lawn's root system. A treatment is $55 per 5,000 square
feet.
There
have been some assignment changes; please check our new
routes and schedule below.
