What Are Mike’s Clients Saying?
Observations in the Field:
Newest holiday décor clients – StoneRidge Golf Club
November 18, 2019 – Excited to help our client Stone Ridge Golf Club kick off their holiday season with a beautiful lighting display!
Oak Wilt
August 8, 2018 – Our Oak trees in the Midwest should be in their full glory this time of the year. Their canopies should be full of dark green leaves providing us with wonderful shade for our summer picnics. However, the deadly fungus oak wilt is now presenting itself on Oak trees in Minnesota and Wisconsin. This photo is of a massive red oak in Stillwater, Minnesota that is succumbing to oak wilt. If your Oaks are looking unusual in anyway please call us to setup an appointment to look at treatment options.
Crabapple Trees
June 21, 2018 – The flowering Crabapple trees in Minnesota were absolutely stunning this spring. Checkout the magnificent blooms in these photos that were taken at a SavATree client’s home near Stillwater, Minnesota. Now that the showy flowers are gone and the trees are fully leafed out, it is time to protect your landscapes from Japanese Beetles. These pesky bugs like to celebrate our Independence Day by exploding around the 4th of July. As soon as they emerge they will begin ferociously feeding on many of our favored species of trees and plants. It is not too late to set-up a protection plan for your landscape. Contact us today. Also don’t forget a grub application for your lawn. Have a great 4th of July!
Benefits of a SavATree Treatment Program
June 21, 2018 – After a long, cold old fashioned Minnesota winter, SavATree clients are seeing the beautiful benefits of our treatment programs. This is evident for a White Bear Lake client who uses all of our services for their lawn, trees and shrubs (plus ticks). It is not too late to get your first treatments applied! Give us a call today!
