In some homes with a lot of foliage and not so much in the way of blooms, I like Red Hardwood. In some landscapes where we have a lot of color (roses, hydrangea, etc…), I don’t want to take attention away from the blooms, so we use a brown hardwood. And there are a slew of others….

]]> Comment on Grubs, Grubs Go Away by jyedowitz http://blog.nylandscaping.com/2010/05/20/grubs-grubs-go-away/#comment-23 Thu, 20 May 2010 17:10:37 +0000 http://blog.nylandscaping.com/?p=94#comment-23 Well, very good question Rebecca. Organically, Milky Spore hosts a specific bacterium (Bacillus popillae-Dutky). This product is lethal to the grubs. Milky Spore is not harmful to beneficial insects, birds, bees, pets or man. The product is approved and registered with EPA, Milky Spore will not affect wells, ponds or streams.

As for chemical controls, we use a product called MERIT. The chemistry within Merit specifically targets grubs. It fools the insect into thinking that it is FULL (not hungry), and therefore it starves to death. It is a systemic insecticide, meaning that grass plants take it up through the root systems and stays within the plant for an entire growing season.

Hope this helps,

Certainly “CURB APPEAL” is one of the main items to consider in adding value for resale and/or making your home more “marketable”. So I would say that whether you rejuvenate your present landscaping or simply start all over with a new landscape design, the money you invest should be returned (plus some) in the proceeds of a sale.

I had a question. Do you think that if I added landscpaing to my barren yard that it would add value for resale? Or am I just wasting time? Need your advice!

Thanks!
