WARNING: Armyworms are infesting the Carolinas!

Fall and winter are the best times of the year to renovate your landscape, install new trees and shrubs, or add a paver patio.  If you are considering a project in the near future we would love the opportunity to work with you! Fall Turf Tips:Proper maintenance is vital to the health of your lawn.  Please rake or blow all leaves and debris off your lawn at all times of the year, especially in the fall. Any leaves left on the lawn can cause a harmful layer that will inhibit sunlight from reaching the leaf blades below, hence smothering the turf.  Don’t allow leaves to sit for weeks on end (or even days) because the grass underneath will suffer. Keeping your turf clean in the fall  will greatly improve the chances of having a healthy and strong lawn in the spring.  Leaf removal and watering are the two most important functions of lawn care in the fall.  SecureTurf offers  leaf removal and fall clean-ups Contact us today. ARMYWORMS! Fall armyworms are infesting the Carolinas again this fall. How do you know if you have  ARMYWORMS in your lawn? Armyworm damage is most common in turf areas adjacent to natural areas, large hedgerows, and/or sides of homes that reflect or absorb afternoon sunlight. Armyworm damage appears as if an area of turf has died or has been sprayed with Round-Up. Upon close inspection of the lawn you may see chewed / eaten blades of grass,  green fecal pellets or dark brown larvae in the thatch layer. What to do if you have armyworms? If you see damage to your lawn that seems to occur in just a few days, even overnight and spreads each day, please call our office for treatment ASAP! You can request service by calling our office @ 704-821-1900, or atSecureTurf.com What if I ignore the armyworms? If the infestation is severe enough, 1) failure to treat for them may cause the lawn to die completely in these areas, 2) the armyworms will eat the new grass you have recently over seeded and the new seedlings will die, causing the lawn to be thin and sparse next year, 3) bare and thin areas from the damage will most likely fill in with weeds if it is not reseeded. Can you treat these critters on you own? Yes.  If you would like to combat these pests yourself, there are several products available from local hardware and garden centers that may work. If you choose the "do-it-yourself" route, we strongly encourage you to read all the provided label instructions and follow them exactly.  The most important thing is that they are treated soon. Read more about armyworms here. Please be on the look-out for Armyworm damage to your lawn over the next 30-45 days. We greatly appreciate the opportunity to service your property. Please contact us if you have any questions about armyworms or any other services we offer. 629 Stallings Road Matthews NC 28104 704-821-1900 www.secureturf.com

SecureTurf - URGENT NOTICE REGARDING INDIAN HAWTHORNS

SecureTurf - Charlotte Landscaping Experts, wants you to know.

URGENT NOTICE REGARDING INDIAN HAWTHORNS

The long, cold winter and freezing winds have been devastating to many shrubs and plants in the Charlotte metro region, especially Indian Hawthorns. If your Indian Hawthorn is damaged by winter cold, it is possible that the plant may recover. To determine if a branch is dead, scratch away a bit of bark with your fingernail or a pruning knife. If the layer below the bark is green or a moist-looking white, it's likely the branch can recover; if it's brown and brittle, that area is dead.

 Pruning the dead areas of your plant may help it regrow slowly with time. Keeping your plant well-watered when it begins growing in spring can also help it recover from winter injury. We recommend our Ornamental Tree and Shrub Program to keep your valuable landscape plantings free from insect and disease damage this summer. Our dormant oil spray in the late fall will assist your plants in withstanding the cold next winter.

If the idea of looking at a predominantly bare sticks in your landscape does not appeal to you, we recommend replacing these with a heartier species. Please visit our Charlotte Plantings Ideas webpage or contact our experienced landscaping experts for a free estimate to replace your dead or struggling plants.
