SUMMER SEASON TIPS
|
The Right Plants, The Right Place
One of the best ways to combat the extreme heat of a Southwestern summer is through proper plant selection. Before installing a tree or shrub, look at the micro-climate that it will be planted in. Extremely hot locations such as parking lot islands and against south and west facing walls require special consideration. Using plants that are best adapted to these hot locations will greatly assist in keeping your landscape looking beautiful, even under the most severe conditions.

The Bird Chaser
The Groundskeeper recently invested in an employee of the four legged variety. Bette, a beautiful border collie, joined The Groundskeeper back in March to help out with a bird invasion at the Sun River golf course in St. George, Utah. At the beginning of “operation bird chaser” Bette took to the greens a few times a day to chase the pesky birds off the course. After the first month of Bette being on the job, the birds finally left the course for calmer waters. Even though the golf course is now virtually bird free, Bette can still be seen galloping through the course patrolling the area.
