Q&A
My shrubs in Westerly are dying. What's the first step your team takes?
The first step is a thorough inspection to identify the cause, which in our area is often related to soil conditions, improper watering, or disease. We then recommend a targeted plan, which may involve improving soil health, adjusting your watering schedule, or carefully removing the affected plants to prevent further spread and preparing the area for healthy replacements.
How do you treat lawn fungus, a common problem here in Westerly?
We start by correctly identifying the specific fungus, as treatment depends on the type. Our approach includes applying EPA-approved fungicides at the right time, coupled with cultural practices like proper mowing height, aeration, and adjusting irrigation to reduce moisture—key factors that contribute to fungal growth in our local climate.
Can you help prevent these landscaping problems from coming back?
Absolutely. Prevention is key. We focus on long-term health through soil testing and amendment, recommending disease-resistant plant varieties suited for Westerly, and establishing a sustainable maintenance routine. This proactive, neighborly advice helps build a more resilient landscape that can better withstand local environmental stresses.
