Did you know Wildflowers do much more than give La Florida it's name

Wild Flowers    Did you know Wildflowers do much more than give La Florida, the "land of flowers" its unique sense of place? Because they have adapted to Florida's conditions and pests, they typically require less water, fertilizer and pesticides than other flowers. They also support myriad native wildlife, from bees to hummingbirds. Native Wildflowers, which occur in most of Florida natural ecosystems, are now being cultivated for use along roadsides and in meadows and landscapes. When used in an urban landscape, native Wildflowers add color, texture and excitement to any garden palette. On roadsides, they help control erosion, decrease mowing and add beauty to the drive.  John Gursoy   ...read more

In the Path of a Storm: Tree Damage Prevention

NAPLES, FLORIDA     In the Path of a Storm: TREE DAMAGE PREVENTION There is no way, except for complete enclosure, to protect trees from all storm damage. Trees do not adapt to worst-case scenario storms, only to our average wind and climate. However we can minimize the main types of storm damage with the following guidelines. Let trees adjust to the wind environment.Tight Staking and Guying at the time of planting is, in most cases, not necessary. If left in place too long it might girdle a tree trunk. Proper pruning techniques are helpful.Cut dead, diseased and weakly attached branches before they become larger than two inches in diameter. Proper pruning minimizes a number of structural problems that lead to tree damage. Keep trees as healthy as possible.Do so with timely and adequate watering and mulching. Healthy trees are more likely to change in the environment, are more wind firm and react more effectively to damage. Do not over-fertilizethe tree with nitrogen or over water the soil. This can increase the crown surface area and or decrease the rooting area. This type of biological change makes the tree more susceptible to storm damage. Eliminate lopsided crowns.Prune branches to produce a reasonably symmetrical crown. If more than 70 percent of the crown is on one side of a mature tree, consider tree removal or replacement. Most importantly, we are here to answer your questions and assist whenever needed.

If you like your car then don't call this company when you need a tow. They deal in junk cars and that is how they treat your vehicle. Then they lie on top of that and say it was done before they got there. Which was 100% not true. They cost me money for this mistake. Remember if you care about the body of your car then don't call these people. I gave them a 1 star because they did get my car where it needed to go for repair. ...read more
