What
is your definition of Integrated Pest Management (IPM)? |

We encourage
natural ecosystems, through careful plant selection and care, that
require very little intervention to control pest-disease concerns.
We monitor our landscapes on an ongoing basis to make sure plant materials
are at optimum health. |

Is pest management performed on a specific schedule? |

Landscapes are
monitored every 6-8 weeks to scout for concerns. We address any problems
from a holistic standpoint, with natural pesticides used as a last
resort. |
