Great information on Norway Maples and why they all seem to be dropping their leaves early!

This summer you may have noticed an increase in shriveled dried and browned leaves on your local Norway maples. 🍁 Arborists throughout the region have observed this same landscape-wide trend.

🌦 A very wet spring, combined with some heat spikes this summer has been the perfect recipe to increase the prevalence and impact of fungal pathogens that impact Norway maples in particular, both anthracnose and tar spot (𝘙𝘩𝘺𝘵𝘪𝘴𝘮𝘢 𝘢𝘤𝘦𝘳𝘪𝘯𝘶𝘮). While these fungal pathogens are usually only an aesthetic nuisance, the climate this year was enough to create the perfect conditions for them to proliferate, impacting trees to the point where they are losing their leaves prematurely.

📌 Typically this causes no long-term harm to the tree, and leaves will grow back again next spring. If the tree in your yard is impacted, consider removing your leaves to an off-site compost pile to reduce local prevalences of tar spot fungal bodies.

Did you know fall is the best time to fix a tired lawn?

Aeration opens up compacted soil so water and oxygen can get down to the roots. When you overseed right after, the seed has a much better chance to take.

If your lawn feels hard, looks thin, or dries out fast, this combo is one of the quickest ways to turn it around.

This customer's side walkway had become in need of TLC with an overgrown yew, uneven stone, and poor drainage.

What changed? Just the right hands and vision. Scott transformed this side walkway by removing the uneven and badly graded section, and the enormous bush. Properly graded the area so water flows were it should, reinforced the top of the stairs with a retaining wall, and installed fresh sod for a much cleaner, and lower maintenance look.
