True Professional!
 In July 2009, Gerard Fournier, owner of For Trees Company, was named one of the world's first "True Professional of Arboriculture" by the International Society of Arboriculture. Presented at the International Tree Climbing Competition in Providence, Rhode Island, Gerard was recognized for his dedication to the profession, commitment to community outreach and education, innovation in client communication techniques and unique achievements linking arboriculture with the general public.
Treevia
 Feed your lawn with compost and leave grass clippings where they fall for nutrient recycling. It is good to aerate compacted soil in the fall. This helps oxygen, water and nutrients reach the roots. In high traffic areas you may consider to replace grass with paving stones or mulch. Mow high and dry! Grass should be cut at a height of 6-8cm or 2.5-3 to promote vigorous growth, prevent weeds and discourage insect pests. Keep your blade sharp. Grass recovers more quickly and easily from a clean cut than when it's torn. A lawn needs 2.5cm or 1 of water and infrequently to promote deep roots. Too much water starves the soil of oxygen and invites disease. |
Tip of the Day
Dogwoods perform best in partial sunlight and evenly moist soil, because they are undergrowth plants in low-lying areas. |
