The Importance of Properly Maintaining Ponds and Bio Basins

Pond and bio basin maintenance is now more important than ever, especially with all new construction and water from hard surfaces and roofs being retained on the property. These runoffs are not allowed to flow into city or county storm sewer systems.

Oversalting of granular salt can cause damage to sod and plants and be found piled up along sidewalks and doorways.

The use of liquids most certainly eliminates many of these issues. The process of pre-wetting salt, when being applied, allows the salt to remain on the surface it is intended for. Being wet, the salt doesn’t bounce into landscapes, and therefore, less salt is needed.

Pretreatment with brine increases the efficiency of storm clean up and prevents bonding of snow and ice to the pavement. It can be effective up to 4-5 days prior to a snow event. We custom blend for every event, and part of the blending process is adding 32% calcium to the brine.

A proactive contractor will make these applications properly and should be held accountable for oversalting and causing damage.

Prepare your system for winter! Don’t wait until the last minute!

There is one big reason you should get on our schedule for fall blowouts as soon as possible. Properly done fall blowouts can help ensure your sprinkler system does not get damaged by frozen water during the cold winter months. If the water is not correctly drained from your irrigation system and freezes, it could cause pipes and other parts to burst or get damaged.

Fall blowouts should only be performed by trained professionals. Fall blowouts can result in excessive pressure that could cause damage to your irrigation system, plus flying debris could cause injury to you or someone else who is standing nearby.

Contact us today to schedule your residential fall blowout: (763) 477-5011 or [email protected]

Minnesota winter weather conditions increase the risk of slip and fall accidents. Snow, ice, and slush on sidewalks, parking garages, parking lots, and other areas greatly increase the number of falls during this season.

People often slip and fall due to improper maintenance. Snow and water can be tracked into buildings, and if left unattended, it can cause serious injuries.

Let us help keep your walks clear and your tenants safe this winter season! If you don’t have your commercial winter services scheduled yet, contact us today: (763) 477-5011 or [email protected]

Get to know our team: Robyn Nelson- Office Manager

Robyn is the assistant to the Director of Operations. As an office manager, she does several things, from ordering supplies to building spreadsheets. She keeps 2 of our shops organized and running smoothly. Robyn ensures all information is sent to the appropriate individuals and helps plan and execute employee events.

Her experience includes 20 years of working in the landscape industry, in one way or another. She’s built walls, patios, and sold projects as well.

When she’s not working, she enjoys hiking, camping, and spending time with her grandkids. Something unique about her others may not know is her desire for knowledge on all levels. She is as curious as a cat in all sorts of situations.

An item on her bucket list she would like to check off would be to take a trip to Greece, Italy, Ireland, and Scotland (all in one trip). If she had a superpower, it would be the ability to fly.

A quote she lives by is: “Do you have a broken bone? No. Are you bleeding? No. Was what was said true? If no, then don’t let it get to you. It doesn’t matter. That’s their issue. If yes, then change that to a better truth if you don’t like the truth it is. Life is too short to let false statements and bullies get you down.” -Thomas McCay
