A Historical Look at Quality Masters Landscaping, Inc.....
We also wanted to share a little history of Quality Masters Landscaping and where it all began. This was our first year in the business, we joined the
Prescott Valley Chamber of Commerce, and had a wonderful article and picture published in the newspaper. How time flies!
December:
'tis the season for pre-emergent
For the greenest lawn, free of weeds and pests, pre-emergent should be applied before temps reach 55 degrees. And as we all know, the Prescott area can have some very warm winter days. Get this down and get to enjoying your yard!
January:
So, seriously.....why pre-emergent???
As opposed to just waiting to see the weeds....
The pre-emergent is killing the weed while it is still underground, before it can fully grow and appear in your lawn/ landscaping.
Post-emergents (weed control) have more variety in how they work, how long they take to work, and if they work at all.
Because, over time plants and pests can become resistant. Which leads to more treatments with multiple options for different post-emergent methods.
Short answer= more work, more time, more cost!
Pre-emergent herbicide applications, in the Spring and Fall, are herbicides that prevent weeds from growing. As their name implies, you need to apply the herbicides before weeds like crabgrass, spurge, and dandelions emerge in the Spring. Otherwise, they will not be as effective, and weeds may still grow.
The herbicide will penetrate the top inch or two of the soil, forming a protective barrier. In the Spring as the ground heats up and weeds begin to germinate, the weeds will hit the pre-emergent barrier in the soil and die.
