August News & Updates

GET READY FOR FALL!

It’s time to think about Autumn garden activities! Here are a few tips to keep your gardens thriving.

TREE CARE: Give your trees long-term protection from deer rub, small animal damage, and sun scald with tree guards. September is the best time to apply plastic tree guards or breathable tree wrap to keep your trees safe this fall and winter. Remove tree protections in May, to allow the tree to breathe and give the trunk room to grow.

FRUIT TREE SALE: 20% OFF our huge selection of hardy and healthy apple, plum, pear, and cherry trees!

MULCH: Fall is a great time to add a 2″ to 3″ layer of mulch around your trees and landscape beds. Mulch insulates plant roots, protecting them from deep winter freezing. It also acts as a weed deterrent and aids in water retention.

WATERING: Trees and plants lose water during the winter from wind, sun scalding, and lack of moisture. Before the ground freezes, give your greens a thorough soak. Apply enough water so the ground is moist but not soggy.

ANIMAL CONTROL: Apply an animal repellent now to protect your fall bloomers and bulbs from deer, squirrels, and chipmunks. Protect trees and shrubs over winter with a liquid spray applied before freezing temperatures. Our animal repellents are available as a hose attachment for broadcast applications, in a hand spray bottle, and granular. We offer natural, pet-friendly products!

Spring Lawn & Garden Care

Ready to Start Seeing Green?

With these mild March temps, now is the time to get a jumpstart on lawn weed treatments!

Nourish your lawn and eradicate pesky crabgrass before it starts with MaxLawn Crabgrass Preventer & Lawn Food. To prevent crabgrass from growing, and to keep your lawn weed-free, apply this pre-emergent herbicide between mid-March and late-April.

Spring is the only time to apply a granular Crabgrass Preventer. To be effective, the product must be applied before the ground temp reaches 55 degress. To check your local soil temps, visit the GreenCast Soil Temperature Tool.

*Do not seed or sod for 10 weeks after applying Crabgrass Preventer.

Once crabgrass is growing and established in your lawn, you will need to treat it with a crabgrass weed-killer spray.

Get Ready To Grow!

Planting seeds for your vegetable garden? Give them the light and airy, nutrient-rich soil they need to grow with Coast of Maine’s Organic Seed Starter

Looking for a quick and cost-effective way to expand your wildflower areas? Check out our Ultra Wildflower mixes for Sun/Shade sites and for Pollinators. 

March on in and see us for all of your lawn and garden needs.

From all of us at Balsam Lake Pro-Lawn, Happy Spring!
