Horticultural Retainer

You can advertise that you have a horticulturist on staff by signing up for the monthly Horticultural Retainer Program.  Under this program you get preferential scheduling of training classes and troubleshooting visits.

 Troubleshooting Horticultural Problems

Proper Identification of problems in trees, shrubs and/or turf grasses is the first step to improve a commercial or residential landscape.  This may include all aspects of plant growth and care, including pests, nutrition and environmental stresses.  

Continuing Education Unit (CEU) Programs

Let us help you with your CEU’s!

We are approved to provide continuing Education Units (CEU's) under both Chapter 487 and Chapter 482 of the Florida State Statute.  These CEU’s are to be used toward pesticide license renewal.  We come to your site.  No need to travel to another location.  

Chapter 487 is the Restricted Pesticide Applicator Law.  CEU’s are available in the Core and Ornamental and Turf categories.

Chapter 482 is the Certified Pest Control Operator Law.  CEU’s are available in Core, Lawn and Ornamentals, General Household Pest and Termites.

 Customized Employee Training Programs

Losing productive employee time while they go to training classes?  We can work with you and develop a customized training plan that fits your program and needs.  The program comes to your business if you have a meeting room and when the training is over, employees walk out the door and right back to work.

 Customized Owner/Manager Educational Programs

We can construct classes for the owner/manager that will not only help with the business, but may qualify for CEU’s also.  Our flexibility lets us meet you where you are and then allows us to help you reach your goals.

 Turf Management

We help you develop a comprehensive turf management program specifically for your needs.  It would include nutrition, pest management and cultural practices such as mowing and irrigation.  This can also covers soil testing and interpretation for your specific site.

Landscape Management

We work with you in developing a customized landscape management program which specifically fits your site and needs.  It would include nutrition, pest management and cultural practices such as pruning and irrigation.  This can also covers soil testing and interpretation for your specific site.  

Sampling and Testing

We offer a complete sampling and interpretation program based on laboratories located at the University of Florida .  This service can be easily included with other management packages.

  Pest Management Programs

We work with you in developing Pest Management Programs for your specific site and conditions.  We also offer testing services for nematodes and disease identification through the University of Florida laboratories.

 Athletic Field Management

We can work with you in developing an athletic field management program specifically for your site and level of use.  We also offer programs that include periodic monitoring of the fields and written reports of their condition.

 Golf Course Management

We can provide custom golf course management programs.  Everything is available, from nutrition to pest management and including cultural programs.  We can provide information on the hard to find subjects of trees and landscape management.

 Writing Bid Specifications

We can help businesses write bid specifications for landscape maintenance programs or pest management.  Be sure you are getting your money’s worth from your contract.

Evaluating Bids

When those bids come in, can you understand and evaluate them completely?  We can work with you and get the most for your money.  We gladly work with government agencies and businesses of all sizes.

 Reviewing Landscape Plans

Some times getting a landscape plan approved by a governmental agency can be a confusing process.  We will work with you to review your landscape plans and make suggestions that may make them easier to move through the approval process.  

Urban Forestry

Trees in a truly urban environment have a much shorter life expectancy than those in an undisturbed habitat.  We troubleshoot tree problems and work to identify corrective or replacement programs.  This includes working with palm trees.

We are a certified Technical Service Provider working with the Farm Service Agency and Natural Resource Conservation Service, U. S. Department of Agriculture.  We can help farmers, ranchers and landowners design management programs that will meet the environmental program (EQIP) requirements of these agencies.
