Did you have a lot of branches fall this winter?

The importance of using Merit as a ground systemic to kill bores and other harmful pests
 

Mowing services started

Mowing services started on April 1.  The first round usually takes us a little longer then normal due to the cleanup of winter debris.  Due to the unusual winter storms we had, if you have excessive amounts of winter debris a small fee may be applied to your account.

Mulching underway - Not too late to get on the schedule!

All crews are out in full force mulching and cleaning up properties before the cutting starts.  It is not too late to get on the schedule to get mulched this spring.  When you sign up for mulch, our crew will clean the beds of weeds and other debris, trim grasses and other perennial plants that require spring trimming, redefine the mulch bed and then lay a laye

Heavy Snow Damages Trees

The heavy snow and high winds our area received have caused many trees to break or bend.  Town & Country can help cleanup from the storm.  As soon as possible, remove the snow from the trees to see if they will respond if they haven't broken.  Once the snow melts more, it will be easier to asses the damage.  It may be possible to straighten and save some trees.

Preparing again for another large snow

We are preparing all the plow trucks so we can respond to the next snow event.  We are loading them with ice melt, cleaning them up from the event this week and putting gas in them. The area is bracing for another large amount of snow.

Preparing for the snow

The area is getting ready for snow for the weekend.  Our plow trucks are ready and loaded. 

Spring Mulching Forms Mailed

The spring mulching forms have been mailed.  To get on the schedule for mulching make sure you return it to us by February 28, 2010.  We have available other varieties of mulch besides the shredded hardward.  Contact us with your needs as the price may change.   If you don't want to mulch your entire property, we can do the areas you want, just contact us so we can meet with you to go over your needs. Included with the forms is our newsletter.

Wet Conditions Slow Leaf Removal

The wet weather our area has been experiencing has slowed down the crews putting us behind schedule for leaf removal. We are working through the rain this week and will do the best we can in this weather. To reach as many properties as possible, we are missing some areas of the yard. When we return for your next visit, we will clean-up all the areas. We hope you have a very Happy Thanksgiving.

Leaf Removal Season

Starting November 2, our crews switched to leaf removal services. This year many leaves have started falling early. Our crews will blow and drag the leaves towards the front where a leaf vacuum truck will later come by and pickup them up. So no smelly bags sitting in front of your house on top of the grass. The beds will be blown on the last visit so we disturb the mulched areas as little as possible.
