FAQs
My sprinklers are leaking and my lawn has brown patches. Could these issues be related?
Absolutely. In Georgetown, leaking sprinklers are a common culprit for both water waste and uneven lawn health. A leak can prevent proper water coverage, leading to dry, brown patches, while also creating overly wet areas that attract pests. Ratliff Brothers can diagnose and repair your irrigation system to ensure efficient watering. We'll also assess your lawn for insect damage, which often targets stressed grass, and provide targeted management to restore its health.
What are the most common tree and shrub pests in Georgetown, and how do you manage them?
In our area, common pests include bagworms on evergreens, scale insects on shrubs and trees, and borers that can target stressed maples or pines. These pests can cause significant damage if left untreated. Our approach at Ratliff Brothers involves a precise inspection to identify the specific pest, followed by environmentally responsible treatment options. We focus on long-term plant health through proper care, which is the best defense against future infestations.
Can you help if my shrubs are dying, or is removal the only option?
Removal is often a last resort. Many struggling shrubs in Georgetown landscapes can be saved with proper care. We start by diagnosing the issue—whether it's a disease, insect problem, or improper watering from a faulty irrigation system. Treatments may include disease management, corrective pruning, or adjusting your landscape maintenance routine. For shrubs that are overcrowded or poorly placed, transplanting is a great option we offer to give them a new lease on life right in your yard.
