Annual Spotlight: Dianthus

Winter is here, whether the calendar says so or not. You may have noticed that we exchanged spring/summer flowers for hardier fall/winter flowers. One of the flowers in this category is the Dianthus, commonly known as the carnation.

Eye catching and beautiful, this flower will survive the harsh winter weather and even produce new buds in the spring. This species comes in a variety of colors, including floral lace pink, neon star, frosty fire and more.

Do not be fooled by their lacey and delicate appearance because Dianthus will live through the harsh temperatures and precipitation. Although the blooms will recede during the coldest days, they will be back in the spring time.

In the mean time, keep your eyes open to these unique annuals!

Snow Removal Preparation

As the 2010-2011 Winter Season approaches, it would serve us well to remember this past winter’s snow season.  The 2009-2010 season provided us with just about every type of Winter-Weather possible.

McFall and Berry Landscape Management adhere to a few simple principles that would be to the benefit of the residents of each community to follow as well.  These principles are planning ahead, being proactive, and having patience.  It is crucial to plan ahead in the event of a possible snow/ice storm.  The weather services have become very accurate in their forecasting of coming storms, so stock up on the essentials, reschedule any appointments you may have, and be patient.  It is helpful, and important to the safety of all, to allow sufficient time for our employees to clear the drive-lanes, parking lots and walks.  As your snow service contractor, we have coordinated plans  to efficiently and effectively manage the snow clearing services. 

Our priorities are: 

1.       Provide access to the community and all buildings.

2.       Clear parking areas and walkways throughout the community.

As always, we hope to have a safe winter and want to wish all communities a wonderful holiday season.
