Stop normalizing neon green lawns!

It wasn’t a tough decision for us. But this is what can happen when enough people feel the need to fertilize and spray several times a year. Along with agricultural run off and low enough EPA standards, this is the severity of what can happen.

Just because it isn’t happening to you in your area doesn’t mean you should continue to hire these companies who promote “lawn integrity” when there is nothing integral about poisoning local ecosystems and causing devastation to struggling wildlife. Our sewage systems aren’t full proof and neither is our knowledge of the dangers of laying down application after application.

Learn how to get excellent turf by:

Creating shade with trees

Irrigation

Reseeding

Thatching

Aeration!

Don’t be a part of this really big problem 👇🏼👎🏼🙅🏼‍♂️🤦🏻‍♀️🚫❌

A good deed done. We are glad no one was hurt and feel deeply sorry about the dog that was killed.

A landscaper called police after he almost accidentally ran over a loaded gun with a lawnmower.

We unexpectedly found this handgun as we were mowing today that was in very close proximity of last nights attempted murder on Flanders Rd in Coventry. Fully loaded and chambered with 9mm hollow points. We refrained from picking it up, and remained at the site until Coventry police came. Reports said a g***k was thrown from the window on the pursuit, but this may be evidence that there was more than one handgun thrown from the vehicle. We’re glad this didn’t end up in the hands of children, one trigger pull could have been fatal. Be sure to be on the lookout for remaining fi****ms. South Street area

Small World! A nice couple that we’ve been doing property maintenance for for years, finally got around to telling us that they were proud parents of Cheo Coker, the creator and producer of the Netflix/Marvel series Luke cage! So cool!!!

We gave this Lawn & Garden an incredible transformation by adding, and re-edging existing flower beds that were overgrown and suffocating the home with invasive "pachysandra". The homeowner said it needed to "GO!" We were able to aerate the look and feel of the frontside of this house again by completely removing the unwanted ground cover. All together, we were able to plant upwards of 65 perennial, shrub, and conifer species, which gave it the much needed vibrancy. Lastly we topped it off with a nice earthy tone of some quality hemlock blend mulch. The customer, as well as ourselves, are very pleased with the end result. We cannot wait for this garden to blossom and bloom to its fullest potential.

Hopefully this will be the last of this horrendous outbreak. We will keep you posted. You can also read more about gypsy moths, recent outbreaks, maimaiga fungus, and natural occurring rhythms of population and eradication. Additional information can be found here. http://www.ct.gov/deep/cwp/view.asp?a=2697&q=589360&deepNav_GID=1631

Reports of dead and dying gypsy moth caterpillars are now beginning to come in to the Connecticut Agricultural Experiment Station from various communities

CREEPY FACT OF THE DAY: This was a previous foreclosure property we refurbished. The man who owned the property (before the house went on the market) was doing his own tree work. When the ladder tipped over, he ended up dying from the fall. No one has touched this ladder since.

No job too big or too small, that's what we say! Interesting shingle job however. 🤔
