Fertilizing trees and shrubs is a preventive maintenance program that is a fraction of the expense of having to replace them. 4 different methods to apply fertilizer to trees and shrubs. Foliar - drenching of the entire tree or shrub. Flood - filling the well or bed with a pre determined number of gallons, depending on size. Soil Injection - injecting the solution directly into the root zone with a pre determined gallon rate per injection. Tree injection - direct injection into the base of the tree. Fertilizing Turf: Benefits include denser tighter stands of turf that greatly diminish the invasion of unwanted weeds. Healthy stands of turf are much less susceptible to Fungi and insect infestation. Healthy turf can withstand and recovers quickly from heavy recreational use. Fertilizing Turf is a preventive maintenance program that is a fraction of the expense of having to replace it. Weed Control: Why waste your time pulling unsightly weeds from both your landscape and turf when Southwest Ground Control can apply a pre emergent herbicide? Pre Emergent; Applied prior to establishment of weeds. Prevents the germination of weed seeds. Will not harm turf & landscape plantings. Applied two times per year and warrantied between applications. Substantial savings on landscape maintenance costs. Very low toxicity. EPA approved.

"Your landscape is not only a significant portion of the value of your business, but also a source of beauty and pride." Post Emergent; Applied after weeds have been established. Selectively control unwanted weeds in turf without harming the turf. Selectively control unwanted grasses and weeds in landscapes and planting beds. Much more efficient than manual removal because the root system is killed. Once control is achieved through a Pre & Post emergent program, Landscape maintenance costs will be significantly reduced. Growth regulators; Cut turf growth by up to 50% without discoloration. Southwest Ground Control can apply turf growth regulator and drastically reduce the time spent mowing and edging. Treating only hard to mow areas is also an option; turf edges, tree wells, steep slopes, and rough areas. Olive & Ornamental Orange Tree spraying: Eliminate allergy causing pollen. Olive trees (other than non-fruiting) are banned from being planted in the state of Arizona due to the excessive amounts of pollen released. Eliminate the continual mess, staining and clean up from the fallen fruit. Our professional experienced applicators have the knowledge of proper mix and spray rates. Inexperienced contractors can due more harm than good. Too low a mixture rate gives no results; too high mixture rate can cause stunted growth. Harmful pests and disease. Trees, shrubs and turf are susceptible to disease and damage from harmful pests. When healthy trees, shrubs and turf in a landscape are on a proper maintenance program and some or all areas begin to show signs of stress, than chances are good that they are being attacked by pests, disease or fungi. Southwest Ground Control can identify, diagnose, treat and control the problem and restore the tree, shrub or turf to its healthy condition. We can save your landscape plantings at a small fraction of the cost of removal and replacement. Some of the harmful pests common in Arizona that damage or can kill trees and shrubs are; Aphids, Bark Borers, Root Borers, Mites, Whiteflies, Grubs, caterpillars and countless others. We can control all of these pests without harming the plant or tree being attacked with a combination of contact and systemic insecticides. Contact insecticides typically work much faster than a systemic but does not have much of a residual life. Systemic insecticides are slower acting but have a much longer residual life. Systemic insecticides are absorbed through the leaves or roots and translocated through out the plant. This translocating process makes the plant toxic to the target pest and shields the plant from further attack. Treating all landscape plantings and turf as a preventive maintenance is an excellent program to protect your landscape investment. Treating disease & fungi is more plant specific than treating for harmful pests. If symptoms are identified early enough treatment and control are probable.
