Due to warm weather this winter, plant materials have grown more than normal. Then the risk of frost mandated that we postpone pruning and trimming until the threat had passed (after the full moon in February). The trim crew is currently six men.
Fertilization and other chemical applications occur every other month during even numbered months (Feb, Apr, Jun, Aug, Oct, & Dec).
Generally, mowing begins weekly in May. Severe drought conditions dictate holding off on weekly mowing and monitoring rain and turf conditions. In the event mowing is postponed, crews will be redirected toward other maintenance tasks such as trimming and weeding
The Cascades is on an eight-week cycle for trimming. So, week #1 would be the first week of odd numbered months (Jan, Mar, May, Jul, Sep, and Nov).
