We are committed to environmentally responsible <br /> practices and will never use Roundup or any other glyphosate-based herbicides when <br /> services Orange County government properties. Our focus will be on using safe, <br /> sustainable alternatives that minimize environmental impact while ensuring effective <br /> weed control. <br /> Plant Pruning <br /> Our pruning approach is designed to prioritize the health and longevity of the plants.We <br /> follow a health-focused pruning methodology, which involves removing dead, diseased, or <br /> damaged branches to promote healthy growth and prevent the spread of plant diseases. <br /> Pruning will be tailored to the specific species of plants and the unique growing conditions <br /> of each site. For high-traffic areas, where more frequent control is needed, we may also <br /> apply growth regulators to ensure the plants maintain a manageable size and shape. <br /> Under typical growth conditions, we will perform hedge pruning three to four times <br /> annually to ensure that shrubs and hedges retain their neat, tidy appearance and do not <br /> become overgrown. However, additional pruning sessions may be scheduled if necessary <br /> to maintain the desired aesthetics and health of the plants. <br /> Mulch Application <br /> To enhance the aesthetic appeal of plant beds while providing essential moisture <br /> retention, we will apply a two-inch layer of mulch to all applicable areas each February. <br /> This mulch application not only helps to conserve water but also helps to suppress weed <br /> growth by blocking sunlight from reaching weed seeds. <br /> Simultaneously, we will apply a bed pre-emergent herbicide to prevent weeds from <br /> sprouting and ensure that the beds remain tidy and healthy throughout the spring and <br /> summer months. This dual approach of mulching and pre-emergent treatment will create a <br /> healthier environment for plants while reducing the need for frequent weeding. <br /> These strategic methods are part of Murray's Landscape Maintenance & Horticultural <br /> Services' ongoing commitment to quality and professionalism in maintaining the <br /> properties of Orange County government. By implementing these detailed strategies, we <br /> ensure that each property is maintained to the highest standards, creating a visually <br /> appealing and sustainable landscape that residents and visitors can enjoy year-round. <br /> Southem Service) ' <br />
