As fall approaches and the growing season comes to a close, homeowners in Tyler, Texas, should be thinking about putting their landscaping to bed properly so it wakes up nicley refreshed next spring. If you take the time to care for your plants now, it will pay off when you see healthy green plants with bigger and more colorful blooms when warm weather returns.
Now is the time to survey your landscaping to identify any plants that may not be doing well. Over the course of the year, a variety of insects and diseases affect our landscaping. Whether it be scale or aphids and sooty mold on crape myrtles, leaf spot disease on Indian hawthorns or lace bugs on azaleas, none of these pests is welcome. Yet that doesn’t stop them from arriving anyway.
Chances are, pests have attacked many of the plants that make up your landscaping over the growing season. These plants are then forced to enter the winter season in a weakened condition, and some may not survive. Trust the care of these plants to the landscapers at Lawn Care Experts.
Pest Control for Your Landscaping
Some pests are still active right now. This issue needs to be addressed as soon as possible so damage is kept to a minimum. Lawn Care Experts can help. We will come assess the damage to your plants, diagnose what type of pest is to blame and administer the correct treatment.
As important as this step in lawn care is, however, it’s not enough. Your landscape needs food to recover and to make it through the winter months.
Feeding Your Landscaping
Our landscapers give your plants a deep root feeding by injecting a solution containing nitrogen, phosphorus and potassium directly into the soil. These nutrients go straight to the roots and have an immediate, direct benefit. They help your plants develop strong roots and provide them with enough food to recover from all the stresses of the hot growing season.
By developing more root mass, your plants are better able to anchor themselves in the soil and take up water and oxygen as well as other available nutrients. Healthy plants will have better foliage as well as bigger and more abundant blooms come spring as well.
