FERTILIZATION, WEED, INSECT & FUNGI MANAGEMENT

Pest & Weed Control

Greescapes applies integrated pest management to provide pest control applications designed to reduce the use of chemical pesticides. Our environmentally sensitive pest control process treats only the areas required to control weeds, insects, and fungi.
Our fertilizer is applied by trained teams according to the schedules provided in the landscape contract specifications of our clients. All of Greenscapes’ fertilizer applications use a custom blend created to that is distinctive to the soils and PH found in Southwest Florida.

Integrated Pest & Weed Management

Whenever possible, we use biological rather than chemical methods to control disease and weeds. Although these less toxic procedures may require more frequent treatment and greater expense, Greenscapes’ dedication to protecting our environment makes such efforts necessary.
We use pesticides on an as needed basis and only in the general area having the problem. Greenscapes achieves this by monitoring the property and a complete service and inspection every eight weeks.

Integrated Pest Management (IPM)

Integrated pest management is an effective and environmentally sensitive approach that uses information on pest life cycles and environmental conditions to manage pest damage within the least possible hazard to people, property and the environment. Our procedures help protect beneficial insects and reduce the potential for damage to our environment.
A curative approach is implemented for insect and disease management in turf and landscape areas. In areas where problems persist, a preventative approach will be implemented.

    Control

Turf Weed Control

Chemical weed control will be rotated on an eight week cycle and can only be applied safely when temperatures are below 90 degrees and wind drift is at a minimum. Due to the unavailability or restricted use of effective control products, the prevention or control of Carpet grass, Torpedo grass, Bermuda grass and select sedges are not part of the Agreement and are not included in the Agreement amount.

Ornamental Bed Weed Control

All landscaped bed areas where weeds are evident will be treated with herbicides to keep these areas relatively weed free. Large weeds will be pulled by hand so as not to be allowed to have enough established quantity to detract from the overall aesthetics of the landscape.

Insect & Disease Control

Inspection of the turf areas and ornamental shrub material are completed on an eight week cycle, with applications done on an as needed basis with only the problem areas treated. Greenscapes does not include the treatment of Ficus White Fly and Grubs as part of pest control service agreements due to the extent and expense of Arbor-Jet Services. In the event treatment is required, we will provide these management programs in a separate proposal provided at the time of the service request.
