For nominating their property the Mulhollands will receive a $50.00 credit toward their next lawn care service, and Marvin their technician will receive a gift card. Thank you to those customers who have sent in photos of their properties, and to those customers who have not, get out your cameras.

As we always do this time of year, we would like to pass along some mowing tips. For a healthy, well groomed lawn we suggest starting with a sharp mower blade. A dull blade will actually rip the grass rather than cutting it, leading to yellowing tips. We also suggest that you set the mower on its highest setting. Mowing at 3 ½ to 4 inches will help the grass to choke out weeds, and mulching the clippings back into the lawn will help the applications and nutrients move into the root system for a full effect..</p></div><br/> <strong style="color: rgb(255, 0, 0);">APRIL PROMOTION- SIGN UP FOR OUR TREE AND SHRUB PROGRAM AND RECEIVE 50% OFF OF YOUR FIRST APPLICATION</strong><br/> <div style="text-align: justify;"> <p>For new customers on our Tree and Shrub program we are happy to offer a 50% discount off of their first application. Customers on our Tree and Shrub program receive a systemic injection of insecticide into the root system of susceptible trees and shrubs. This injection will control the devastation from insects such as Japanese beetles.</p> <p><img title="" alt="" src="http://www.virginiagreenlawncare.com/sendstudionx/admin/temp/newsletters/60/JapaneseBeetle1.jpg" width="185" align="Left" border="0" height="164"/>One of the most damaging pests to Eastern U.S. urban landscapes is the Japanese beetle. The adult beetles are active in our area from June through August and because of their mobility and gregarious habits, their swarms can infest and defoliate large areas of plant material. Some of the more susceptible trees and shrubs in our area are Crape myrtles, Flowering plum, River birches, Japanese maples and other susceptible plants. </p> <p>If you have had a problem with Japanese beetles in the past and feel that our <a target="_blank" href="http://www.virginiagreenlawncare.com/lawn_care_services-tree_and_shrub_care.shtml">Tree and Shrub</a> program would be beneficial to you, please <a target="_blank" href="http://www.virginiagreenlawncare.com/request_service.html">click here for an estimate</a>, or call our office at (804) 285-6200 or (757)258-1788 and we will be happy to assist you.</p> </div><br/> </td></tr></tbody> </table> </td></tr> <tr> <td colspan="2"> <table width="750" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" height="75"> <tbody> <tr> <td colspan="2" height="75"> <table width="100%" bgcolor="#177c50" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0"> <tbody> <tr> <td><img title="" alt="" src="http://www.virginiagreenlawncare.com/sendstudionx/admin/temp/templates/1/footerSides.gif" width="60" border="0" height="72"/></td> <td> <p style="color: rgb(255, 255, 255);" align="center"><a style="color: rgb(255, 255, 255); text-decoration: none;" href="http://www.virginiagreenlawncare.com/newsletters/2011/march10-newsletter.html"><font face="Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif" size="1"><strong>Having Trouble?
