Weekly Landscape Tip:
How have you water bills been this summer? I have actually had one month that it exceeded my electric bill! Wow! If you have ever considered converting from turf to xeriscape or low water use landscaping, August and September might actually be the best months to do it. The most difficult part of the process is killing the existing grass. It can only be done effectively when it is most actively growing.The late summer and early fall months are the most active for bermudagrasses plus as we get into September the grass starts trying to store up nutrients for winter and that makes the uptake of herbicides even more effective. The use of “glyphosate”,Hi Yield Killzall type herbicides is a must as they kill the entire plant, root and all. Don’t try to kill the grass by just not watering it. It doesn’t work- and as soon as it rains or you water any of the new plants, you’ll have bermudagrass coming up. If we can be of any help with any phase of your “conversion” experience-please let us know! Jerry Harper and his team have done many- of all shapes,sizes,and budgets. Give Jerry a call 602 659 5994 to set up a time for a FREE on site evaluation.

After The Storm
August 18, 2010 By
Depending on what part of town you live in, you may have some serious clean up to do or even damage to your landscape. Some tasks are fairly minor and just take elbow grease and time, others especially damage to trees and large shrubs may need the assistance of an expert. Some tasks may even be dangerous if attempted without the proper equipment and or expertise! Whether you are doing your own landscape maintenance or you need assistance Harpers can help. We may be able to walk you thru certain tasks over the phone or in-store and we have tree stakes and vine supports in stock to help you re support plants that might be down. Our team of landscape experts is also at the ready to come out and advise you on what and how you should proceed if the tasks are large or overwhelming! Before you just fire up the chainsaw and start hacking away-give us a call! And please use common sense and be careful if you choose to do large tree work on your own!

As Summer winds down the little white pests appear! Yes whitefly. We had our first customer report of them today. Not surprising as August and September are usually the months the appear in the largest numbers. Whitefly are commonly found on lantana, hibiscus, rose bushes, and any newly planted fall vegetable plant. They are pretty easy to spot, just walk by the above mentioned plants and brush up against them or reach out and rustle the limbs and a cloud of white dandruff will erupt from the plants. For control I like imidacloprid on landscape plants, it is easy, safe, and effective. For control on vegetables almost any of the neem oil type sprays work and they are very safe and environmentally friendly. They key is to use regularly or follow directions for frequency as these ultralights blow around in the wind every day and find new places to live and they also breed fast and fruiously. Be sure also to keep plants fertilized and watered very regularly as any plant that is slightly stressed will not be able to fight off these rascals. Also covering new vegetable seedlings with a frost cloth/grow cover material is effective!
What Is Wrong With My Lawn?
August 2, 2010 By
We have been out on a number of calls recently and had many more of you coming in and asking what in the world is wrong with your lawn? Well what has happened is your winter lawn stayed alive too long! Yes too long. When cool season grasses don’t “transition” early enough in the spring or summer, they don’t allow the dormant summer lawn to come out of dormancy and after a certain period the warm season grass dies off. Then when we get really hot, especially at night the ryegrass finally dies off revealing that there is nothing but dirt left! So what to do? Be sure you fertilize adequately, remove dead ryegrass thatch, water sufficiently perhaps even hand watering the affected spots extra. If the areas are not too big the remaining grass should fill in and you might get some regrowth from the root system. If the areas are very large you may need to resod or reseed depending on what type of bermudagrass you have.
The real solution is to be sure next spring we “force” the ryegrass to die off more quickly-we’ll discuss that then!
