Plant Recovery for Frost and Freeze Damage


First we must say that in some cases the damage will result in the death of the plant and replacement is the only way to restore your commercial landscaping.

Remove all dead foliage as soon as weather permits.  This is a good option when frost damage is severe and there is too much dead foliage to leave on the plant. It’s also appropriate when local regulations or aesthetics require early clean-up of dead foliage. Prune after the average last day of frost is for your area. Watch the weather report for a late cold snap. If possible, finish pruning by the end of March so juvenile growth can get established before hot temperatures arrive.

A second option is to remove the dead foliage after the new foliage fully emerges. This option works well on smaller trees and shrubs with open growth form.

At Greens Keeper Landscape we want you to know how to take care of your property.  If you don’t want the headache of landscape maintenance we take care of your landscape for you.  To find out how we can help just give us a call at 623-848-8277.

January in Phoenix and Frost Protection is in Season


If you are following the weather forecasts you know that this weekend January 11th and 12th the night time temperatures will drop into the very low 30s.

What can you do to protect your landscaping?  If possible bring inside new and frost tender plants.  With ground plantings you can cover the plants with light fabric just before sunset to trap heat around the plants and remove after sunrise on Thursday so the sunlight can offer warmth to your plants.

Greens Keeper Landscape Maintenance


Let Greens Keeper help you with your spring planting.

There are two main growing seasons in Phoenix: from mid February until the end of May, and from September to mid November. As a result, nation-wide calendars are ill adapted to our needs.

 January is only winter month in Phoenix. Here is what to do in January:
- Spray dormant shrubs.
- Last chance to plant bare roots trees and shrubs.
- Prune roses and deciduous fruit trees.
- Monitor freeze warnings
- Plant summer bulbs.

Possible frosts until mid February. The growing season starts then in Phoenix. Since the growing season is so short, don't lose time. You need to give as much time as possible to plants and trees to grow before the punishing summer heat.
- Weed prevention with pre-emergence herbicide.
- Complete rose and deciduous tree pruning.
- Start spring planting.

After the 15 of February
- Start fertilizing: use a calendar to keep track of your fertilization program.
- Start planting frost tender plants and shrub.

Greens Keeper Commercial Property Landscaping


Let Greens Keeper help you maintain your curb appeal at all times.

It's no surprise when people drive by your commercial property they make assumptions to the quality of your company, simply based on how your landscaping looks.

Too often, people judge a book by its cover… meaning, if your plants are over-grown, you have weeds in the sidewalks and flower beds, and your grass is overgrown and looks terrible, people will have a negative preconception about your company.  First impressions are everything!
