Is your yard
Exploding with weeds ?
You may think a few weeds here or there aren’t much to worry about, but did you know most weeds are capable of producing over a thousand seeds each?
Rain and the warmer weather that will follow will make conditions just right for hose little land mines lying under the soil waiting for just the right moment to germinate and destroy your weekends.
Are you wondering how you are going to get control of the weeds that just keep coming and coming? Did you know that not only can we kill your existing weeds, we can prevent new ones from popping up for months?!
Imaging not being concerned about the weeds at all. Wouldn’t it be great to spend your weekends relaxing on your patio and actually enjoying the view?
Let our experts take care of your weed control.
You’ll have more time for fun.
See your chiropractor less.
Your yard will look great all the time.
Your plants will love you and be healthier too!
What we do: we will price our service right over the phone if you know the square footage of the area you want sprayed. (Length times the width). If not, then we can help you guesstimate the square footage and price that. We’ll schedule an appointment at your place, show up on time, take actual measurements and give you a firm price, make the application and leave you with the instructions on after care.
What you do: Crazy as it sounds, you have to water in the weed preventer, one time equal to ½ inch of rain to activate the pre-emergent preventative action. Don’t worry, you have up to 3 weeks to get this done.

Far too often, we want what we cannot have. We often cringe when we hear clients long list of plants they want. They won’t budge on some kind of plant they like because they are trying to recreate a memory.
Your landscape is subject to the laws of nature. If your climate won’t support the plants you want, you have to choose something else. Unless you are the big lottery winner and have endless funds and time to manage a plant growing in the wrong place, you must concede to Mother Nature.
Here is a perfect article that demonstrates that theory. Choose wisely. Get professional help with your choices and you will be richer for it, in time and money.
Frozen Pipe
It’s going to get cold soon. It’s not enough to turn off your sprinkler system. If you live in the mountain community of Wrightwood, and the transitional zones of Phelan, Pinon Hills, West Cajon Valley and Oak Hills, you should think about winterizing your sprinkler system. Water left in your lines, sprinklers and valves will freeze and expand damaging your system. You won’t realize it until spring comes and you start to use your system again. You could be at risk right now. Winterizing your system will remove all the water from your pipes and equipment so that there is less opportunity for problems. Call us to get on our schedule to winterize now or call us for the inevitable repairs you will need come this spring.
The very best time of the year is here. Fall is the winding down of the growing season and that is why it is the very best time to plant. Things are getting slower on top but there is lots of activity down below in the root zone. Plants planted in the fall take off sooner and do better in spring, than plants planted any other time of the year.
This is a great time to build and work your compost pile with all the leaves and twigs and branches you clean up this fall. Or add your homemade compost to your garden to build up the soil for next year’s veggie garden.
Keep watering trees and shrubs, but much less often. Still water deep though. Just space the days between watering more. Some plants may look dead, but they are really just dormant and all that root action is taking place down below. I suggest you not cut back perennials until new spring growth to insulate the core of the plant from winter frosts.
Definitely this is time to check and winterize your sprinkler system if you live in a zone of freezing weather. Thoroughly check your system before winterizing to make sure you don’t wrap up a leak that will be a problem for months. Then wrap pipes with insulation or cover sprinkler valves with an insulated box. A large insulated cooler works well for this and gives easy access. We can help you with winterizing
Plan for winter weed control to eliminate spring weeds. A pre-emergent weed application in the winter will prevent most spring weeds and give you your weekends when warm weather arrives again. We can quote you on your preventative weed control. We get really busy in the winter with applications and timing is preferred before a rainfall to water in the pre-emergent with FREE water from the sky. Call to get on our schedule so we might schedule you at the most optimum time.
