Grounds Maintenance Division
Our primary objective is helping our clients
to improve and protect the health, vigor, and appearance of their valuable
landscape assets while simultaneously embracing sound, ecological and
environmental stewardship.
At Skyhorse Station our core philosophy for Landscape
Maintenance emphasizes the latest Plant Health Care concepts and technologies.
Landscape professionals around the U.S. have modified the old traditional
Integrated Pest Management. The new IPM is referred to as "Intelligent
Plant Management!"
Prudent grounds managers understand that unfavorable
site-specific environmental conditions coupled with inappropriate maintenance
practices have allowed and/or created poor growing conditions in our urban
landscapes. Michigan Department of Agriculture, et.al., believes that
poor quality plant material is largely caused by poor growing conditions
and that most pest damage is a result of, rather than the cause of these
conditions. Non-pest disorders are usually the main cause of mortality,
failed health/vigor and appearance of your turf, tree and shrubs.
Skyhorse Station offers pro-active and preventative
approaches with strategies to identify and alter the often harsh and adverse
conditions occuring onsite in our urban environments. By reversing and
correcting poor growing conditions, while enhancing natural controls,
pest populations of insects, diseases and weeds can be discouraged and
suppressed-----without using chemical pesticides.
Our trained turf/arbor professionals are capable
of customizing a program for your specific site and microclimate. We will
utilize all available, and industry accepted environmental/cultural, biological
and mechanical practices and tactics. Our IPM -Intelligent Plant Management
(emphasizing Plant Health Care) would boost plant health & vigor to
match our client's expectations of appearance and their budget.
In summation, our goal is to design and implement
an effective, practical, economical and environmentally sound turf, tree,
shrub, and annual bed/grounds
