Question Answers
How do you handle common Colorado Springs lawn issues like weeds and poor grading?
We address these local challenges directly. For persistent weeds, we offer targeted turf fertilization and weed control programs, as well as specialized bed and off-lawn weed control, using products suited to our regional soil. For poor lawn grading, which can affect water drainage and grass health, our services like core aeration and overseeding help improve soil structure and promote a thicker, more resilient lawn that can better handle our local conditions.
What does 'deep root tree fertilization' involve and why is it important here?
Deep root fertilization involves injecting a specialized nutrient mix directly into the soil around a tree's root zone. In Colorado Springs, our often poor, compacted soils can limit a tree's access to essential nutrients. This service bypasses those challenges, delivering food directly to the roots to promote stronger growth, better resistance to local diseases and insects, and overall tree health, which is crucial for our urban forest.
My tree seems sick. Can you diagnose and treat tree diseases common to our area?
Yes, absolutely. Our technicians are certified and licensed through the Colorado Department of Agriculture with specific knowledge in tree disease and insect management. We can diagnose common local issues like Cytospora canker or insect infestations. Based on our assessment, we provide targeted treatments, which may include therapeutic tree spraying or other cultural practices, to manage the problem and help restore your tree's health.
