It’s spring, everyone even your hired helper is out planting plants and trees. Even throwing down fresh mulch and it all looks so good…BUT STOP!!!!🛑 are we actually planting correctly? Improper planting techniques, incorrect distance from your home, and even the way your installing your mulch can have serious effects on how long your plants THRIVE, SURVIVE, and what DAMAGE MAY BE CAUSED TO YOUR HOME…First. Planting to close to your home can cause both home and plant damage.. roots into the foundation or even drainage pipes, rubbing of the siding, gutter, and even the roof material.. lack of oxygen air circulation and sun light can cause mold diseases and die off of the back side of the plant.. recommended is min 2ft for any plant but certain shrubs and trees with more aggressive roots need farther and remember young plants grow and that measurement needs to considered front be outside of a mature plant… with that remember young plants grow. Might look a little thin right now but don’t over plant… now let’s talk depth. To deep or to shallow and we burry the root ball of the tree or leave to much exposed and get roots running along the surface and root girdle which we see all the time… next is planting prep… you MUST REMOVE the string around the tree holding the metal
Basket or burlap sack on.. it’s just waiting for the tree to grow and kill itself 3-5 yrs typically… now the metal basket and burlap sack that your installer or your preference really and no true data either way except most burlap is no longer natural and synthetic so it does not biodegrade like it use to so we recommend removing and letting the roots spread and not be compacted and entangled… and finally let’s talk mulch… no MULCH touching the bark and no mulched piled high on the base. We call it mulch volcanos..this causes bark rot, root girdling, and pest and disease infestation…. And remember if you like those nice crisp cut edges and/or tree rings do it at planting… below we will add some photos of mostly incorrect plantings

It’s time for spring fertilizer…fertilizer is more then just a green lawn, the proper fertilizer mix will thicken the lawn, increase the depth and strength of the lawn roots and having the proper nutrients in the soil is the first step to eliminating weeds

Missouri coming in on top.. does tick born illnesses have you scared of your own lawn?

Alright USA… take a look at this.

This chart reflects the % of people in each state reporting Alpha-Gal based on responses from our TickBiteData survey — not CDC or government data.

Some states are showing up strong… others are almost silent.

That doesn’t mean it’s not there — it means it’s not being reported yet.

👉 If your state is missing or underrepresented, help us change that.

The more real patient data we collect, the harder this becomes to ignore.

Each day is like physical therapy… I rested as long as my mind would let me before I used the opportunity to hike and shed hunt with the kids.. forcing my own physical therapy and rehab. Let my ankle heal as much as it could then give it real world therapy seemed slow at times like no progress was being made, the season slammed into existence and we been out making it stronger daily… each day is a improvement and we look forward to continue healing… but above all we thank our amazing clients who patiently and understandingly stood beside us, the calls or text letting us know how much we where missed for fall clean up, the commits letting us know to rest and they would still be there, the I got someone but it sure wasn’t your quality conversations. We thank you all for the loyalty, understanding, and continued trust as we move forward sharing our talents, education, dreams, and experiences… none of this would be possible without each and every one of your support
