Professional Gardeners are distinguished from other landscape maintenance personnel by in-depth specialty training that enables concentration on the areas of particular concern to the client. They do not focus on time-consuming, labor-intensive chores, such as mowing, mulching, leaf removal and spring clean-up, which are best handled by regular landscape maintenance crews.

Seasonal Suggestion
Maintenance chores in the garden should be continued. This month is a good time to renovate your lawn. The weather is cooler and rain should be more prevalent. Lawns take a beating whether you own pets and or have kids. Lawn renovations can be as simple as having your lawn aerated (a machine pokes holes into your lawn allowing access for moisture to get into your soil.) or to a totally reseeding of the lawn or sections of the lawn. One can actually sod a yard if not large or it would be easier. Either way water is a key factor in getting the new lawn established. Watering the lawn either by a sprinkler or by rain will have to be done.
Plant Of The Month
Aster species- Aster species as a whole will bloom from mid August through mid to late October depending on the variety in your garden. It is a carefree plant for the most part. It does need to have space between plants to keep good air circulation among them. Many of the aster varieties are native to the U.S thus making them good low maintenance plants in our gardens. The flower colors range from blue, purple to reds, pinks and a white. All flowers are daisy looking and bloom for a fairly long time. They come in different heights as well as different colors making it easy to find one that will fit into your garden scheme. They do need to be grown in well drained soil that will drain when it rains. Asters will not tolerate soggy feet. Long lasting flowers, late season blooms all are great for the butterflies, bees and other pollen searching creatures that are looking for food late in the season.
