Kudzu Control

Kudzu is native to Japan and China; however, it grows better in the southern United States than it does in its native land. Today, it covers over seven million acres of the deep South but Kudzu is not without disadvantages. Kudzu is used in ways which might surprise you. During the 1920’s it was discovered that animals would eat the plant. During the 1930’s Kudzu was used for erosion control. The USDA declared Kudzu as a weed in 1972. While it does have valuable uses, the vines can also be very destructive due to its rapid growth. Kudzu, with a deep and extensive root system, is difficult to control once it has been established in an area. Several products are effective for foliar treatment of Kudzu. If your lawn or landscape is being invaded by Kudzu, give Executive Turf Care a call to schedule an appointment.

Tree Injections

Executive Turf Care is now using the Wedgle Direct Inject System. The Wedgle Direct Inject System is the most tree-friendly way to treat trees. One of the few methods that doesn’t require drilling, the Direct Inject System:

• Is a less invasive application method that promotes long-term tree vigor.
• Injects nutrients directly into the tree’s vascular system, right where the tree will us it.
• Treatments requiring drilling cause permanent damage to tree sapwood, reducing a tree’s ability to move and store nutrients. The Wedge Direct-Inject System is a sustainable, no drill method which protects tree vitality.
• Does not leave open wounds or holes which provide entry points for insects and disease.
• Provides quick control, generally in two to five days.
• In most cases, provides season-long control with one application.

With the Wedgle Direct Inject System, Executive Turf Care is able to safely treat trees for insects and diseases. We are also able to green up yellow trees and treat for deficiencies of Iron, Manganese, Phosphorus, and Potassium. Please call our office to schedule an appointment.
