Property Improvement - Arborvitae Wall



We are working to improve the look and the drainage on our South property line. 

Arborvitae is a popular evergreen choice for hedges because of its tall, narrow growth habit. Arborvitae grows best in full sun, but will tolerate light shade and prefer fertile, moist, well-drained soil.
 
We’re installing catch basins between the newly planted Arborvitaes and then trenching a drainage pipe along the backside of the tree line all the way to the street.  This is to improve the environment for the Arborvitae, as they cannot survive in extremely wet conditions.  This also improves the drainage situation for our South neighbor, who was periodically experiencing basement water.

New Office, New Yard - Part 3

Time to change our sign and elevate the look as we continue to renovate and remodel our new building and yard.  This week we demolished the old sign and are building a new sign using Olde Quarry Stone, Copthorne inlays and Ledgestone.  Truly impressive work by our very skilled crew!

New Office, New Landscaping - Part 3

Our grass is looking lush and healthy.  Biodegradable erosion control blankets are extremely helpful in keeping seed where you place it.  Watering well and keeping nitrogen levels up, using Milorganite, really helped the process as well.  Growing grass is much easier when you apply the right amount of materials and attention.

The Scoop on Milorganite

Milorganite is rich in nitrogen and helps replenish the nutrients your grass needs. While watering is essential for your grass, it can wash away those necessary nutrients that Milorganite provides.

The name Milorganite is a made from the phrase MILwaukee ORGAnic NITrogEn.

"Milorganite’s history began with Milwaukee’s goal to clean up its rivers and Lake Michigan. Rather than land filling sludge or microorganisms, they were used in a pioneering effort to make, distribute and sell fertilizer. Its production is among the largest recycling programs in the world."
