(PRWEB) March 13, 2014

The snow is finally melting in Philadelphia and homeowners are seeing lawns for the first time in months. Unfortunately, many are finding significant damage including strange runways chiseled through lawns, ugly pink tinged spots and tree and shrub roots that appear to be gnawed. Giroud Tree and Lawn explains the problems and the lawn and tree service actions homeowners can take to repair the damage and get ready for Spring.

Heavy snow created the perfect environment for lawn damage from voles and fungus, explains Mike Taraborrelli, Lawn Service Manager at Giroud Tree and Lawn. While voles were able feed and dig undisturbed for months, snow mold fungus also erupted on many lawns.

Strange, meandering cracks or runways in the lawn are the first sign of vole activity and damage. Voles dig runways under the snow to venture out from burrows located in well hidden spots like mulch, tall grass, wood piles and rocks. Searching for food is the primary mission of this foray. Besides chewing blades of grass down to ground level, voles may also do considerable tree and shrub damage.

Most lawns will recover from vole damage without help. Lawns with extensive damage may require homeowner or lawn service intervention. Actions can include raking away the debris and excrement in the runways, additional topsoil, a light application of fertilizer and overseeding areas that do not recover with a compatible mix of grasses. Overseeding should be done before pre-emergent crabgrass controls are applied.

Vole damage to trees and shrubs can be life threatening. Single stemmed trees like dogwood and crabapple will likely die if voles have girdled the tree by eating the bark completely around the trunk. Multi-stemmed shrubs like Juniper, Rhododendron, Viburnum, Euonymous (Burning Bush) and Azalea can survive. Professional pruning and/or fertilization may help with recovery.

A second common problem caused by the heavy snow cover is snow mold. Characterized by circular patches of matted grass with a pinkish tinge, snow mold is a fungus that erupts in cold, wet conditions. For extensive damage, fungicide treatment, lawn aeration to open up the matted areas and slit seeding are recommended.

To ensure the lawn, trees and shrubs are ready for spring, homeowners should contact a lawn service professional to inspect lawn condition and health. Trees and shrubs damaged by voles, winter storms or other problems should be evaluated by an ISA Certified Arborist for safety and health to determine if removal is required or if the plants can be saved.

What exactly is Lawn Mowing Online? How does this work?

LawnMowingOnline.com is unlike any other lawn mowing service. We go around the country offering lawn mowing jobs to anyone with a mower, a computer and a digital camera, and when you place a order we send the order to the mowers that are closest to your address. Whoever wants the job accepts it, mows the lawn, sends us photos and we pay them.

There's a little programming behind everything but for the most part that's it, a very simple concept, however it took digital cameras and smartphones (Thank you iPhone and Blackberry) with 24/7 instant email access reaching mainstream consumers before an idea like this could possibly work.

The best part is we're putting Americans back to work. Since anyone can register we're giving jobs to those who really need it. If they had worked for a regular lawn care business they might receive $8 or $9 an hour but here they receive double that per yard, and our mowers are given the opportunity to mow when it's convenient for them so they can have an interview or resume a full-time job at any time. Or continue mowing, it's completely open.

But we're not taking jobs away from the professionals! Quite the contrary: many professional lawn care companies use us to fill the gaps. Why would a lawn care company accept $19 a lawn instead of their usual $40+? Simple: their employees are hourly so they have to pay them regardless, so what can they do when they've run out of work for the week? Send them home? Fire someone? Instead, the companies use us to provide them with a few extra jobs a week so they can keep paying their employees. Which means many of our customers have their lawns mowed by professional lawn care companies but pay $19 instead of $40/week and signed contracts. It's a win-win for everyone!

SWANSEA The Waterfront Revitalization Committee met with their architect and associates during a meeting to set up parking and possible ways to and from the beach facilities, last Wednesday evening at the Senior/Community Center.

Architect Steven Kelleher was joined by Nate Burgess and landscape architect Peter Flinker during the meeting attended by eight members of the Waterfront Committee.

It was noted that as many as 189 parking places had been identified based on 9.5-by-18-foot parking spaces for each vehicle. A review of the landscaping was presented by Mr. Flinker of Dodson Associates, that included ideas on plantings, treatments and extending a boardwalk into some of the lawn areas where beach grass is. They also took a look at Sandy Beach and connecting it by walkways from the beach area.

There was further discussion on the way in and out of the beach area.

One option that was presented would be to have traffic routed to Private Butler Avenue and make a direct entrance onto the beach property. Butler Avenue is currently a one way street going out.

It was noted that Ocean Grove Avenue would not be sufficient for outgoing traffic (it is currently one way in) because some of the larger boats that are hauled in would not be able to make the turn there.

Wasaga Sun

Wasaga Beach council members have said they agree with the main beach gateway design recommended by staff and a landscape architect is to proceed with the project.

A week after seeing four concepts for the redesign of the gateway the intersection where Main Street meets Mosley Street and four landscape design plans for the area, councillors came to a consensus Tuesday (March11).

The project is meant to beautify the area so that visitors coming over the Main Street Bridge get a good first impression. It also aims to lead people to Festival Square, an open-air event space being created in the parking lot.

The preliminary cost estimate pegs the project at $595,111 ($370,762 for the gateway design and $224,349 for the Mosley Street landscaping).

The price includes coloured concrete paving, raised concrete planters, soil, trees and shrubs, a shade structure, decorative benches, banners, flags, waste receptacles and other design elements.

I think its attractive and I think it will attract people. Its easy to look at, its easy on the eye and I think certainly, from Mosley Street, its going to be very impressive, said Mayor Cal Patterson.

He said there are still some issues being worked out but the work will proceed. There is still some work to be done to determine the best material to build a shade structure so that it is sure to withstand the elements year-round and how best to incorporate pedestrian crosswalks in the area.

We are going to take a closer look at the crosswalks in terms of safety and traffic flow but the whole concept was accepted, said Patterson.

The redesign of the main beach area started with a number of visioning sessions that drew hundreds of participants. Festival Square and design improvements to the area are a direct result of community input.

IDEAS: David Wilson Partnership Limited's plans for Barnstaple's Civic Centre.

LAST week the Journal reported a Barnstaple architect had come forward with plans for Barnstaple's Civic Centre site.

They proposed to turn the site into 84 flats.

Since then a second architect has got in touch to share their ideas for what could be seen on the town centre site.

David Wilson Partnership Limited has drawn up plans showing a new adventure playground, marina and housing.

Pete Leaver is a landscape architect with the firm and said the Civic Centre site was one of the most prominent in Barnstaple.

"It's become even more visible since the new bridge opened; the car park and the back of the centre are seen by nearly every visitor to Barnstaple in a way that was never envisaged when they were built," he added.

"Our plans recognise how important the site is as a gateway to the town.

"The empty civic centre buildings would be demolished, making way for a new Monkey Island themed adventure playground and park."

Mr Leaver said North Walk could be flooded to allow boats to get into two marinas with water levels controlled by lock gates.
