Maintenance Calendar
Fall
A
drought trend seems to be in place.
Watering for new plantings is allowed
Things to do
Mulch plantings with 3 inches of pinestraw.
We do not recommend
the various colored mulches as they tend to utilize the
available
nutrients as they decompose. Pine bark nuggets or
Cypress mulch is
preferred.
Thin or deep prune larger
specimens.
Pre emergent weed control for winter weeds
Aerate and seed fescue lawns
Pruning trees that are shading lawns
Garden Pest to watch for:
Lace bugs and scale insects on shrubs
Poa annua weed grass and other perennial poa species
Wooly Adelgid on Hemlock (new pest
alert for this area)
Seredium Canker on Leyland Cypress
Bagworm on juniper, cedar, and other
evergreens
