Factors Contributing to Landscape Decline:
Chemical Abuse
An unseen killer of trees and landscape plants
is attributed to the misuse of chemicals.
- Salt or de-icing chemicals seep into the ground water, killing roots
- Inorganic Fertilizers, applied at too high rates, can also burn roots and injure landscape plants through reverse osmosis
- Chemical herbicides used on weeds can adversely affect landscape shrubs and trees
- Repeated pets abuse can burn landscape plantings by urinating on shrubs or beside trees
- Acid rain
- Air pollutants
- Underground gas leaks
- Above-ground dumping of solvents in the vicinity of plant roots
To help prevent this chemical misuse, CrabappleLandscapExperts always encourage the safe and proper application and disposal of all chemicals.
