Not sure if you have Ashes on your property? Give us a call and we'll be pleased to come out to do an evaluation of the trees on your property. If you have Ash(s) in your lawn, we'll help you formulate a plan based on our recommendations and your opinion to either protect the tree via preventative treatments or consider another species to take its place. Please feel free to call your Account Manager or the office today to schedule your evaluation.
Moles and vols are always a problem this time of year and Aspen can treat for you. To know if you have a problem check your yard for tunnels. Significant furrows above tunnels in the lawn, with the occasional mound of dirt, indicate mole activity. Smaller furrows and the presence of many holes are evidence of voles at work.
Inspect your plants for damage. Moles are insectivores that eat grubs and earthworms and mostly damage lawns, by tunneling through the root systems. Voles are herbivores that eat bulbs, grass and will even feast on tree bark, leaving a signature "girding" ring around the base of the trunk.
Identify the pest. You are more likely to see a vole than a mole, because moles spend most of their time underground. Voles will travel above ground, especially when there is snow to partially conceal their movements. Moles have paddle feet and long snouts; voles are smaller and look similar to mice.
Due to the snowfall the last couple of weeks these services are postponed until snow has melted: Dormant Pruning, Spring Mulching, Turf Application Round 1, Tree & Shrub Application Round 1 & Spring Bed Maintenance. We're hoping to resume all of these services sometime the week of 3/11.
