Intial Steps To Landscape Restoration

These procedures are implemented over the course of the service program in order to restore your landscape to a sustainable healthy and beautiful condition.

Plant Beds

Locate and pull out or cut down saplings, small trees, springeries, vines, and other mature invasive vegetation growing in the hedges and other ornamentals. Apply brush killer or other appropriate herbicides to terminate them.

Reduce grassy weeds, small vines, and other weeds for safe herbicide access. Then apply a post emergent/pre emergent herbicide mixture to eliminate them  and control germination of existing seeds.

Apply selective grass herbicide over the tops of small hedges, liriope, and jasmine where necessary to terminate torpedo and crab grasses that can't be reached  with non selective herbicides.

Institute bed edging methods that restore the beds to proper form and size.

Florida trees don't all run on the same schedule. Trimming a palm, oak, or mango at the wrong moment can cost you blooms, fruit, or storm strength. Good tree trimming in West Palm Beach starts with knowing what's growing in your yard.Professional tree pruning follows each tree's natural rhythm instead of a one-size-fits-all calendar.

Match the Trim to the Tree

Shade Trees

Oaks, mahoganies, and other large shade trees handle structural pruning best in late winter, before the spring growth flush. Finish major cuts well before hurricane season starts in June. Trees need months to seal wounds and build strong new wood.

Palms

Palms don't have an ideal pruning month. The rule is simple:remove only fully brown fronds. Yellowing fronds still feed the palm, and hurricane cuts leave it weaker in high winds. Discolored fronds can point topests or nutrient problems worth treating.

Flowering Trees

Timing depends on when buds form. Trees that bloom on last year's growth should be trimmed soon after the flowers fade. Crape myrtles bloom on new growth, so late winter works well for them.

Fruit Trees

Mangoes, avocados, and other tropical fruit trees should be prunedright after the final harvest. Cutting close to bloom time can wipe out next year's crop. Steady moisture helps any freshly trimmed tree bounce back, anddrip irrigation at the root zone puts water exactly where it's needed.
