Desert Vine News – July 2011
Thank you once again for your continued support and patronage. Once again, do your part to provide opportunities and optimism for our Country and economy.
IT IS GETTING HOTTER! By early July all Bermuda Lawns should be fully developed. Increase the time on all lawn valves for deep root growth throughout the summer.
Our July supply special is granite.
10 Tons Granite
$1095.00 *
* ½” Madison Gold front yard only, additional quantities subject to retail pricing.
Ensure that you always have plenty of water available and consider calling a Contractor for project assistance regardless of size.
Review your clock (timer), anti-siphon valves, in-line valves, sprinklers, drip lines and emitters. Existing client clocks are being adjusted to reflect seasonal watering cycles. New clients may want to schedule an evaluation to ensure proper programming and irrigation.
Once again, please review advanced tree trimming and thinning or granite (rock) topping to the diminishing coverage of existing aggregate.
In July 2011, review the installation of new rock, granite, trees and shrubs. These ideas are the most cost effective ways to achieve that makeover look.
Please contact us at 602.435.0812 to discuss optional services and to establish your no obligation appointment.
It’s Time to Trim Trees
Call for a free estimate. Now is a perfect time to remove branches from roof locations. Thin those Mesquites and Palo Verde trees that have become an irritation.
Call and Schedule that Clean-Up
It is time for that clean-up. Even if you retain ongoing maintenance, this is the perfect time to contract optional services. De-thatching, new borders, low voltage lighting, a new shut-off valve are some examples of deferred optional services. Please call to schedule your Clean-up today. We will provide an estimate and deliver landscape changing service with half and full day options.
Granite or Rock
Topping of your existing granite or rock for the front, side and backyard is the least expensive way to immediately improve the appeal of your property. Friends and Neighbors will comment on the renovated look and feel. Call today for an estimate with River Rock and Wash options.
Once again, we maintain an associate vendor listing for your review. Please contact any vendor for information or proprietary service. Each vendor is appropriately licensed and retains impeccable integrity.
Thank you for your continued patronage. John F. Metz

Desert Vine News – May 2011
Our weather continues to be unseasonably mild and is ideal for all types of planting.
Now is a great time to fertilize. Always select a quality all purpose fertilizer. Specialty products have been developed that stimulate and provide sustainable nutrients for Citrus and Palm Trees, Roses, Turf, and traditional foliage.
Rye turf will subside by the end of May. Variations continue to occur predicated on these unseasonable weather patterns.
Dormant Bermuda Hybrids will be stimulated by cutting the turf lower than normal to expose the roots to 100 degree plus temperatures. The advent of this temperature and increase of water time and day frequency will permit the Bermuda to proliferate.
By June 15th, “Starter Fertilizer” will be applied to all Lawns and Time Clocks will be re-programmed for additional water cycles. Lawns with challenges such as: significant brown spots, weeds and hard soil dry spots will be treated with optional services. Optional services may include, de-thatching, aerating, soil amendments, and weed and feed applications.
A “Weed and Feed” product is only applied after the Bermuda Turf is fully developed. The goal is to ensure that the Turf is strong enough to repel a weed abatement chemical process.
Vincas are the primary flower that thrives in triple digit temperatures. They are available in several colors and will sustain growth through October. Please contact us for an estimate on optional Flower planting in selected existing irrigated pots.
We have created an associate vendor listing for your review. Once again, please feel free to contact any vendor for information or proprietary service.
Thank you for your continued patronage.

Desert Vine News – April 2011
Thank you once again for your continued support and patronage.
The weather is excellent for all activities and plantings. We are offering special rates for clean-ups and irrigation evaluations. These rates will be extended for all existing and new clients.
This is the time to review your clock (timer), anti-siphon valves, in-line valves, sprinklers, drip lines and emitters. Existing client clocks are being adjusted to reflect seasonal watering cycles. New clients may want to schedule an evaluation to ensure proper programming and irrigation.
Although plants and some trees may look as if they have died, wait until the mid- part of April to begin trimming off frost damage. You will be amazed at how quickly many damaged plants and trees come back to life when the weather warms.
In April and May, review the installation of new rock, granite, trees and shrubs. These ideas are the most cost effective ways to achieve that makeover look.
