Q: I just used Roundup™ on my lawn to kill weeds. Now I have brown spots all over. What did I do?

A: You didn’t take the time to read the label! That is the first thing to do BEFORE using any herbicide. Roundup™ is a non-selectiveherbicide, which means it will kill EVERYTHING, both desirable and undesirable plants. You will need to reseed all the brown areas. Use a broadleaf weed control product next time. It will kill ONLY weeds.

Q: It’s October. Is this a good time to plant new trees and shrubs?

A: YES! This is a GREAT time to plant. Weather conditions are favorable, and the nurseries are still well stocked. We can plant right up until the ground freezes in December. Check with us for design ideas and nursery stock availability.

Q: I have dozens of what look like large mosquitoes flying around my lawn. What is this?

A: They are little late this year, but what you have is Cranefly. While extremely large populations may cause some lawn damage, this is usually rare. They are considered a nuisance due to their large numbers during mating season, when they fly into everything and everyone. They do NOT bite!
