TIDES LANDSCAPE UPDATE
NOVEMBER 13, 2014
Time to Inspect and Freshen Up Our Landscape—We are asking every homeowner to check their property for bare ground areas, stumps in need of covering, rocks or mulch that has thinned out around trees, beds with just a few scattered rocks, etc. It’s time to tidy up your landscape and add mulch, rocks, or lava stones where needed to help better control the weeds and keep moisture in the ground. Let’s get it done before the holiday season!
It makes no sense for us to weed, and then leave the ground bare for the weeds to come roaring back.Some of our homeowners have already done a beautiful job with rocks or with their own mulching, but for many of us, it’s definitely the time to GIVE OUR LANDSCAPE A FRESH AND CLEAN LOOK —CONSIDER IT A COAT OF PAINT FOR YOUR LAWN!!
New Service to Make Mulching Easier— B+ grade, sterilized mulch delivered and spread by Model Row for $4.00 per bag. For mulch, just e-mail (nbcbarron@gmail.com) or call me (Nina Barron @ 994-1398), tell me the color (red or brown) and the number of bags of mulch you need and I’ll consolidate orders OR you can call Robert at Model Row directly at 239-0744 to order mulch for your yard. He will bill you after the application.
How much do you need? You can set a limit on the number of bags you want or just specify front yard, back yard or whole house and Model Row will put down what is needed. If you want, they can leave the bags so you can see how many were used. If you are starting with no existing mulch and obvious bare spots, your front yard could need as much as 30 - 40 bags of mulch. It’s unusual for a total house to need more than 50 bags. (If you need stones, you will need Robert to give you an estimate. Most stones are $8.00 to $12.00 per bag. Lava rocks are available, also.)
DO NOT USE UNSTERILIZED MULCH—If you are purchasing your own mulch, be sure and check that it is STERILIZED MULCH OF AT LEAST B+ GRADE. Unsterilized mulch can contain spores that cause Ganoderma which kills our Palms!!!! We have lost 3 more Palms this year to Ganoderma and need to be very vigilant that we don’t bring back this dreaded disease to the Tides.
