Mulch and compost both represent different types of organic layers that homeowners can rely on to improve their soil quality. However, how many of them understand the differences between these two methods.
Lawn care in Florida is different from anywhere else in the United States. We don’t share the same seasonal changes as our fellow Americans to the north. We experience substantially more humidity than more arid areas out west, like California and New Mexico.
It isn’t uncommon in South Florida for homeowners and their friends or family to gather around outside for a cookout, a few drinks, and even just to talk. Everything seems perfect in our beautiful weather. Unfortunately, it isn’t long before feeling something crawling on your leg and an unpleasant sensation that results from THE MOSQUITO BITE.
The green iguana is an invasive species in South Florida. However, many remain unaware that these reptiles are not native to the state. Unfortunately, their presence often results in damage to our flower plants and greenery in our yards.
If it’s one thing that all Floridians understand, it’s the summer heat. For homeowners, spring lawn care often reflects ensuring a lawn is healthy and green. Consequently, spring turns to summer, and the temperature rises, summer lawn care focuses more on keeping this greenery healthy.
At Frank’s Lawn & Tree Service, our clients often ask our specialists to “just lop the top off” to reduce the overall size of their trees. While this common practice called tree topping is a great way to recreate the “Whomping Willow” look from Harry Potter, it is actually quite harmful to most trees and plants.
Once you properly prepare your soil and select the right plants, the time will finally come where you actually need to get some new plants into the ground. Nature designs every plant in a unique way that helps them grow and thrive in a specific environment, and under specific conditions. For this reason, professional plant installation remains crucially essential for many homeowners.
The Florida heat seems to keep getting warmer and warmer; however, our trees and plants keep on blooming, forcing homeowners to make the proper preparations for the summer season.
Summertime is here again! Though, many Floridians might suggest that the season never really left at all. For many gardeners, the spring season comes and goes without the common indicators that our friends in the north experience.
Spring is here once again. This is a time to embrace nature’s natural renewal, including all sorts of sights, sounds, and smells that springtime returns. Although we don’t get much of a cold season here in South Florida, this is still a nice time to get out of the house and embrace the warm weather once again.
