Ron Edwards, of Landscape Management Co., spreads lime pellets on the turf at Good News Clinics. Edwards is careful to keep the pellets from getting on sidewalks and the road, and he uses a blower following the application to make sure all the product stays in the grassy area.
Landscape Management Co. employees don’t just work to keep their customers’ lawns green. Crews also operate with the environment in mind, with several procedures that minimize runoff into nearby creeks and streams, said the Gainesville company’s president, Chip Morris. “We always blow off any fertilizer that gets onto the pavement or walks back onto the lawn,” he said.
