Did you know that mowing your lawn incorrectly can damage your lawn? Your lawn mowing habits can play a major role in whether your lawn is healthy or hurting. Here in the Rochester, Winona and Southeast Minnesota area, there are specific guidelines to follow when mowing to get the best lawn care.

Number one on the list of mistakes people make when mowing is having their mower set too low. Mowing height depends on the type of grass and time of the year. Here in Southeast Minnesota, the dominant grasses are fescue and Kentucky Bluegrass as well as a few other cool weather grasses. Cool weather grasses need to be cut at the taller settings on your lawn mower. Recommended height is 3-4 inches. Why so tall?

Longer grass blades lose less moisture and grow longer roots. That helps grass survive better during hot and dry weather.
Keeping grass longer allows grass to grow thicker and doesn’t give weeds the space they need to flourish.
When grass plants are in the 3-4 inch range they provide shade for sprouting grass and keep the soil cooler.
Scalping, or cutting grass excessively short, gives weeds everything they need to grow: bare dirt for seeds to sprout, room to spread and plenty of sun.
Cutting too short promotes greater moisture loss and a more shallow root system.

Of course, it isn’t good to let your lawn get too tall either. Grass that isn’t cut regularly can create a habitat for pests like insects, grubs, moles, voles and even mice. Grass that is allowed to get too tall is also more difficult to mow and can leave excessive amounts of clippings that can kill the grass underneath if not raked up and bagged.

This brings up a very important point: Do not cut more than one third the height of your lawn at a time. Just like pruning off too much of a tree or shrub causes undue stress to the plant, cutting off more than one third of your lawn’s height stresses the grass plants. When you mow, you are essentially pruning your grass plants.

You may not think much about the pattern you follow when mowing, but it is important to vary the path. Mow north and south one week, east and west the next. Some people like the look of a diagonal pattern. Even that should be alternated between upper left to lower right corner and upper right to lower left corner. When a lawn is mowed in exactly the same pattern week after week it can cause compaction of the soil, which inhibits grass growth or, in extreme cases, ruts. Besides, varying the pattern helps make a sometimes tedious task less boring.

The final point many people don’t take into consideration is to make sure the mower blade is sharp! A sharp blade cleanly slices the ends off grass blades. A dull blade tends to rip and tear at the grass, resulting in excessive moisture loss and browned grass blade tips. A lawn mower blade should be sharpened two or three times per season, depending on frequency of use. It also helps to avoid mowing over sticks and rocks.

There is one exception to when lawns in our climate should be mowed at a higher mower setting. The last mowing of the season should be done with a lower setting of no more than two inches. Keeping grass shorter during the winter and months of snowpack will deter the occurrence of brown patches known as snow mold in the spring.

If you have any questions about mowing practices for your lawn, contact the lawn care professionals at Maier Tree and Lawn. Our specialists are trained in the best practices to achieve optimal health for your lawn. We are committed to keeping the communities we serve looking green and healthy and love talking about what we can all do to promote a healthy growing plant environment.

The Emerald Ash Borer Is Here In Winona and Rochester

Posted on May 12, 2015 - 1:36 pm by mlt

If you have been following the news, you’re aware of a damaging little insect called the Emerald Ash Borer (EAB). Although it wasn’t spotted in the U.S. until 2002, it has certainly made a name for itself. EAB has been confirmed in Winona and Olmsted counties, and most recently in Fillmore county. At Maier Tree and Lawn, we’ve been tracking the progression of EAB in the Winona and Rochester area since it was first spotted.

What is the Emerald Ash borer, and what makes it so dangerous? First of all, it is an invasive species. That means it isn’t native to the area and doesn’t have the natural limitations to spreading as it does in its native China and Southeast Asia. The preferred diet and place of incubation for EAB is ash trees. In its native land, ash trees are of such a variety that they are able to resist the shiny green insect. Not so here in the U.S.

It is believed the Emerald Ash Borer made its way to North America by hitching a ride across the Pacific on shipping crates made of an Asian variety of ash lumber. Once here, it found a veritable banquet of ash trees to feed upon and nurture the larvae. Since it has no real predators and our ash trees lack natural resistance, the Emerald Ash Borer is pretty much left unchallenged as it multiplies its way across the country.

There are, however, steps that can be taken to limit the advance of EAB. A simple action everyone can take is to not transport firewood into or out of parks and campgrounds. Once moved to a new location, EAB will seek out ash trees to lay their eggs upon. By observing this easy to follow practice, everyone can help stop the advance of this invasive species.

If you have ash trees on your property, you need to be aware of signs of infestation and how to prevent it from establishing a foothold. Because the Emerald Ash Borer is difficult to detect early, it’s a good idea to contact a professional arborist if you have questions or concerns. Maier Tree and Lawn can examine your ash trees and perform a risk assessment. Our arborists know where there have been sightings of the insect and how likely it is to reach your property.

If EAB is present, there are several methods of treating ash trees with an effective insecticide to stop it. There are three common methods of applying these insecticides. An arborist will know which will be most effective for your situation. These methods are:

Above ground application. This methods applies either a liquid or granules around the base of the tree.
Inject chemical into soil. In an area where run-off is a problem, it may be advisable to have the insecticide applied several inches below the surface of the soil.
Injection into tree trunk. To inject an insecticide into the trunk, holes are drilled into the tree near the base and the chemical is delivered directly into the tree.

Each of these methods is intended to get the insecticide into the tree’s system to flow throughout the tree. The reason it is so important to get an insecticide into the tree is to stop the larvae that bore their way into the tree to incubate. As they bore their way into a tree, they block the natural flow of nutrients throughout the tree, essentially starving it to death.

Trees also need to be treated every few years to continue to resist the invading insect, based on your consulting arborists recommendations. The cost of treatment and prevention may seem expensive, however, studies have shown that treating a tree is less expensive that having a mature tree removed, and it will preserve a resource that can take decades to mature.

If you have any questions about the risk to your healthy ash trees or treatment of a tree, contact Maier Tree and Lawn. As we like to say, “At Maier Tree and Lawn, we care about trees and all things green and growing.” We do our best to stay on top of the Emerald Ash Borer threat and methods to stop its spread.

In Rochester and Winona MN, Lawn Service is Better Late Than Never

Posted on May 3, 2015 - 1:51 pm by mlt

Finally. Rochester, Winona and Southeastern Minnesota are experiencing a normal spring. Thankfully, no early May blizzards or late-season below zero cold. In fact, the growing season even started a little early. The rapidly growing lawns and arrival of pesky dandelions caught a lot of folks by surprise. However, just because you haven’t contacted Maier Tree and Lawn yet doesn’t mean it’s too late. We can do an assessment of your lawn now and design a plan that will benefit it all season long.

It’s important to keep in mind what a lawn service does for you. They feed your lawn what it needs to be green and healthy. They help your lawn establish a strong root system and eliminate predatory weeds that rob your lawn of nutrition and kill desirable grasses. That’s a process that goes on all season long. Your lawn may have “missed a meal” or didn’t get its first protective coating against the annual assault of weeds, but starving it and leaving it vulnerable to attack for the rest of the year makes no sense. It was a long winter and your lawn is hungry!

During the hot and dry times of summer, your lawn needs deep roots to reach moisture and nutrients. That’s what the balanced fertilizer mix a good lawn service provides does for your lawn. Yes, having a lush green looking lawn is what homeowners are after, but the real action takes place below the surface. It’s a deep, healthy root system that keeps a lawn looking great, even when weather conditions aren’t optimal.

This is prime time for broadleaf weeds to gain a foothold on your lawn. Cool nights and warm days, coupled with bountiful spring rains, are the perfect formula for weed growth. They love it. It’s also the best time to eliminate them. As they grow, weeds are drawing in moisture through their leaves and roots at a rapid rate. That also means they will draw in herbicides at a rapid rate. That’s what your lawn service is counting on. You could say a weed’s greed for nutrients is its undoing. As long as dandelions and other broadleaf weeds are growing, they can be stopped.

There is, of course, an optimal time to begin a lawn care program in the spring. Because spring came early, that perfect time may have passed. But it’s never too late to start.

If you contact Maier Tree and Lawn, one of our trained lawn care specialists will examine your lawn and work with you to put a plan together for the rest of the season that will meet the specific needs of your lawn. At Maier Tree and Lawn, we understand that no two lawns are alike. That’s why we work to ensure your lawn gets exactly what it needs and what it doesn’t need to be strong and healthy.

Because we care about our green and growing environment, Maier Tree and Lawn is committed to keeping our environment healthy one customer at a time. If you have questions about the health of your lawn, shrubs or trees, contact Maier Tree and Lawn at 507-286-8733 in Rochester, or 507-454-7000 in Winona.

Arbor Day – Celebrate Trees

Posted on April 23, 2015 - 10:00 am by mlt

We’ve all heard that April showers bring May flowers, but did you know that April also brings Arbor Day? In Minnesota and most of the U.S., Arbor Day is celebrated the last Friday in April.

Maier Tree and Lawn is proud to be one of the 2015 sponsors of the 13^th annual Arbor Day Celebration. The festivities will be held on Friday, April 24^th at Silver Lake Park from 11a.m. to 1 p.m. The celebration will include live music, games and free trees (while supplies last) to name just a few of the special activities.

Why all the celebration, and when did it all start? The first Arbor Day was celebrated in Spain in 1805 to promote what trees do for us. On that day a ceremonial poplar tree was planted followed by a feast and dancing, all to promote the abundance of benefits we get from trees.

In the United States, Arbor Day became official in 1872 when J. Sterling Morton declared April 10^th as Arbor Day in Nebraska. The day was commemorated by the planting of over one million trees! By the 1920s, Arbor Day was being celebrated in all 48 states.

Thanks to Arbor Day, there is worldwide awareness of the importance of trees, and planting trees is encouraged. When you consider everything trees do for us, it makes sense to set aside one day a year to recognize and value their importance. As Arbor Day is celebrated here and around the world, it makes it easy and fun to plant trees.

When you’re walking around in one of Southeast Minnesota’s many parks and forests, or going for a walk through your neighborhood, take special notice of the trees around you. They clean the air, produce life-giving oxygen, provide habitat for birds and squirrels, supply us with cooling shade and nourish the soil with their fallen leaves. We owe a lot to trees. And it’s just possible some of those trees are there because someone took the time to celebrate Arbor Day by planting them.

Trees are a vital part of our environment, and Maier Tree and Lawn is committed to keeping our trees healthy and growing. When you have a question about the health of a tree or need information about the best location or method of planting a tree, contact Maier Tree and Lawn. In Rochester, call us at 507-286-8733, and in Winona you can reach us at 507-454-7000.

How and When to Plant a Tree

Posted on February 24, 2015 - 4:38 pm by mlt

In a recent Maier Tree and Lawn newsletter, we said that the best time to plant a tree is 20 years ago! Since that isn’t possible, the best time to plant a tree is this year! Because it takes so long for a tree to mature, and a healthy tree can have a lifespan of many decades, planting a tree is a great way to “pay it forward” for generations to come. That’s why it’s important to do it right when you plant a tree. Here are a few simple guidelines to follow for when and how to plant a tree.

When is the best time to plant a tree?

The best times to plant a tree is in April through early May and September through early October. April through early May are ideal because there should be ample rainfall and cooler temperatures that allow the young transplanted tree to establish a root system before the heat of summer. September through early October are good because the tree is, or will soon be, dormant, and even though the air may be cooling off, the soil is still fairly warm. That creates a good environment for root growth making the tree ready to really grow with the coming of spring.

Summer can be a bad time to plant a tree. Hot temperatures and direct sun will stress a newly planted tree to the point that it may not survive. Without the proper watering it requires, a new or transplanted tree can quickly fade and die during a summer dry spell.

How do I plant a tree?

Here is a list of what is important to do to plant a tree properly to give it the best chance for a long and healthy life:

Select a tree that is compatible with location and climate region. The best choices are trees that are native to the area.
Check for underground cables or utility lines before digging.
Prepare the hole. Ideally the hole should be 2-3 times the diameter of the root ball. This breaks up compacted soil and allows better root development and allows roots to spread as they grow.
Dig the hole only deep enough for the root flare (where roots change to trunk) to be just above with the finished soil. A common problem is planting a tree too deep. That will cause problems for the tree later in its life.
When placing the tree in the hole, place it in gently taking care not to disturb the root ball. If the root ball is wrapped in burlap, cut the burlap away after the tree is positioned on the hole.
When backfilling the hole, be sue not to stomp on, or compact the soil around the tree. Do not use a commercial fertilizer. It may be too harsh for the now vulnerable transplanted tree to tolerate.
For the initial watering, pour one gallon of water for every six inches of tree height. The tree should then be watered regularly by trickling a hose at the base of the tree.
It is also important to cover the area of exposed dirt with 2-3 inches of mulch. Take care to keep a space 2-3 inches wide around the base of the tree free of mulch.

Planting a tree that can be enjoyed for generations to come is a rewarding experience. To ensure you are planting a tree properly, you may want to consult a professional arborist like those at Maier Tree and Lawn. It is our pleasure to help you add to the tree population of southeast Minnesota. To be sure all your young and mature trees are healthy and have a long life, contact Maier Tree and Lawn at 507-286-8733 in Rochester, or 507-454-7000 in Winona.

It’s Never Too Early to Start Lawn Care Planning

Posted on February 17, 2015 - 11:07 am by mlt

February may seem like an odd time to think about scheduling lawn care, but it’s a great time to put a plan together for a healthy and lush green lawn. At Maier Tree and Lawn, we understand that your lawn is an important part of the ecosystem and needs a plan to be at its best. What is it that makes your lawn such an important part of the local ecosystem?

Lawns do a lot more for us than make our homes and landscaping look good. Like trees, grass releases life-giving oxygen into the atmosphere. Lawns also help fight soil erosion and filter pollutants from water runoff. So you see, a great looking lawn is more than just a “pretty face.” It helps protect the environment.

For your lawn to do its job, it needs to be healthy. To help keep it vigorous and thriving there are a number of lawn care practices you can follow:

Fertilizing and Weed Control – When it comes to fertilizing and controlling weeds, lawns are not “one size fits all.” A lawn care professional will perform an analysis of your soil to determine what it needs. This helps protect the environment by not applying fertilizers you don’t need for your lawn. The same is true for weed control. The best practice is to use as little herbicide as necessary to control undesired weeds.
Aeration – Lawn aeration is a process that perforates the ground and removes small plugs of soil. This practice provides several benefits. Aeration allows water, air and nutrients to better penetrate to grass roots. It helps roots grow deeper and also reduces soil compacting.
Fungus Control– Fungus can come in a number of varieties. The most common symptoms are brown patches or rings that can result in dead grass. Causes can be as varied as drought, mowing too low, too much or wrong fertilizer, excessive watering, or the wrong grass type for the location. A lawn care professional can examine your lawn and suggest the best actions to take for cure and prevention.
What You Can Do – The two most important things you can do for your lawn are mow at the proper height and water properly. Many homeowners make the mistake of mowing too short. The proper mowing height is 3 to 3 ½ inches. This gives a lush look to your lawn, helps retain moisture, and shades low growing weeds to discourage their growth. When it comes to watering, a good rule of thumb is to give all areas 30 to 60 minutes of watering per week. This will allow the water to soak into the soil and promote healthy root growth. Frequent watering for only a few minutes can actually be detrimental to your lawn. Water doesn’t have a chance to adequately soak into the ground, which can cause shallow roots. Your grass needs a good deep root system to survive during periods of little or no rain.

At Maier Tree and Lawn we like to say we care about all things green and growing. That includes your lawn. Healthy trees, shrubs, and lawns play an important role in keeping our ecosystem and environment healthy. Our goal is to partner with our clients by designing a plan that is right for them.

When you have questions about your lawn, contact Maier Tree and Lawn at 507-286-8733 in Rochester or 507-454-7000 in Winona. It’s a great time to start thinking spring. Call us to put together a plan and schedule for your lawn.

How Harsh Minnesota Winters Damage Our Trees

Posted on January 19, 2015 - 2:31 pm by mlt

In Rochester and throughout Southeast Minnesota, one of our greatest resources is something many of us take for granted: trees! For all trees do for us, we need to do our part in tree care. To keep your home or business’ landscape looking its best, contact Maier Tree & Lawn for tree care in Rochester and Winona, MN.

Imagine the view from a tall building or hill looking out across a great tree canopy of green. That’s all it should take to remind us of how blessed we are to live in an area so densely populated by these majestic giants. As we hurry about living our lives, they stand quietly around and above us protecting us from wind, rain, and heat. They help us breathe cleaner and pump literally tons of life-giving oxygen into the air every day.

With winter here, it may not seem like a time to be actively involved in tree care, but that isn’t quite true. Winter can be just as stressful and hard on trees as it is on us. Year after year of stress can take its toll on a tree and, without proper care, can affect the tree’s health and lifespan. Once their leaves drop and cold and snow arrive, it’s easy to forget about tree care until spring. After all, aren’t trees just dormant waiting for spring like many of us? The truth is, winter can be a hazardous time for trees. Consider these problems:

Temperature Fluctuations
During early and late winter, temperatures can be well above freezing during the day and near zero at night (or lower as proven last winter). Those temperature swings can wreak havoc on a tree’s structure, thawing and freezing moisture within the wood, expanding, and contracting.

Frost Cracks
Frost cracks are usually longitudinal cracks resulting from extreme cold or temperature swings. They can be shallow or deep and once they begin, they reappear annually. The danger is that these cracks can cause a weak point in the tree and make it more susceptible to serious fracture.

Snow and Ice Breakage
Heavy snow is especially a problem for evergreens. Their thick needles are the perfect place for snow to accumulate and weigh down branches. To help prevent permanent damage, gently brush snow away. Never shake the tree or branches vigorously because frozen branches can be brittle. For smaller evergreens, a good form of prevention is to gently tie branches together with flattened rope. As for ice-encased branches, especially on hardwoods, it may be tempting to knock off the ice. This can be dangerous for both the tree and for you. It’s best to just let the ice melt naturally.

Animal Damage
When food is scarce in winter, trees become part of the menu for deer, rabbits and other rodents. In areas where deer are abundant, surrounding the bark with wire fence or mesh will discourage deer and send them elsewhere for their next meal. As for rodents like mice or voles, keep tall grass and weeds removed from around the base of the trunk. Move heavy mulch a foot or more from around the trunk since these provide a great winter habitat for the little critters. A layer of screen or gardening cloth wrapped around the bottom of the tree can also deter them.

To be sure you are taking proper precautions and steps to protect your trees during winter, consult a certified arborist, like those at Maier Tree & Lawn. They will know what is best for your specific trees in your yard or property. Without proper knowledge and equipment, a homeowner can actually damage a tree and put themselves in danger.

In Rochester and Winona, contact the tree experts at Maier Tree and Lawn. Our team of certified arborists can advise you on a year-round program for tree care as well as provide expert pruning, damage removal, fertilizing and even cabling vulnerable limbs to prolong their life.

At Maier Tree and Lawn, we care about the trees in our community and understand how vitally important they are to our environment. If you have questions or concerns about any tree related issues, contact us at 507-286-8733 in Rochester or 507-454-7000 in Winona.

Christmas Tree Fire Safety Tips

Posted on December 22, 2014 - 1:37 pm by mlt

Maier Tree & Lawn wishes you a happy and safe holiday season!

We all love the sounds of the season and hearing folks say “Merry Christmas!”, “Happy New Year!”, and “Season’s Greetings!” What we don’t want to hear is the sound of a siren from a fire truck as it comes screaming to our home because our Christmas tree caught fire!

On average there are 250 Christmas tree fires in the United States each year. That’s a very small percentage of the number of real trees purchased every year, but the devastation of a Christmas tree fire is always tragic.

The reason Christmas tree fires are so dangerous is because once the tree catches fire it explodes into flames in as little as 20 seconds, generating temperatures of nearly one thousand degrees. That much heat blasting into a room can spread to every flammable item and create a blazing inferno in a matter of minutes.

That doesn’t mean your family can’t enjoy the fresh smell of a real tree during the holidays. By taking a few simple precautions, the likelihood of a Christmas tree fire can be eliminated. These are tips everyone has heard before, but it’s a good idea to go over them again and, most important, follow through with them.

First and foremost, be sure your tree is fresh. An easy check is to bounce the tree trunk on the ground to see if needles fall off. Of course, making it a family tradition to cut your own tree can be a fun way to be sure your tree is fresh.

Once your tree is home, keep it hydrated. That starts with making a fresh cut across the bottom of the tree and putting it in water so it can begin to draw in water immediately. Check the water every day and add more as needed. You may be surprised at how much a fresh cut tree will “drink.”

It may sound obvious, but never place your tree too close to a fireplace, wood stove, candles, or heat register. It’s also important to check all lights for frayed wires and worn insulation. Having too many lights on a single circuit can also cause wires to overheat.

Finally, don’t place your tree near an exit door. In the unlikely event your do have a Christmas tree fire, you will need a clear escape route for you and your family.

The holiday season is a special time of year when we get together with family and friends to reflect on the very best things in life. At Maier Tree and Lawn we want to wish you, your family, and your friends a truly joyous holiday season and a Merry Christmas!

It is our privilege to serve the Rochester and Winona areas. We truly have a passion for caring for trees and all things green whether they are inside your home during the Christmas season or growing outdoors throughout the year. We believe they are truly one of the wonders of creation.

The staff at Maier Tree and Lawn is committed to providing expert care and advice to our customers and the community to help make our world a greener, healthier environment. Whenever you have a question or concern about any tree care or lawn related issue, contact us at 507-286-8733 in Rochester, or 507-454-7000 in Winona.

Merry Christmas and Happy New Year from your friends at Maier Tree and Lawn!
