SpringGreen participates in Renewal & Remembrance event at Arlington National Cemetery

Mon, 21 Jul 2025 20:55:07 +0000

SpringGreen Franchise participated in the National Association of Landscape Professionals’ 28th annual Renewal & Remembrance event on July 15, 2024, in Washington, D.C. The event gathers landscape and lawn care professionals from across the country to maintain the grounds of Arlington National Cemetery and surrounding memorials.

SpringGreen contributed to this year’s efforts, which included large-scale landscaping projects at Arlington National Cemetery and the American Veterans Disabled for Life Memorial. Volunteers completed work such as aeration, lime application, flower and tree planting and the installation of nearly 10,000 plants at the memorial in partnership with the National Park Service.

“Participating in Renewal & Remembrance is a meaningful way to honor our nation’s heroes and support spaces that symbolize sacrifice and service,” said Brad Johnson, president of SpringGreen. “This event aligns with our values as an organization and allows us to contribute our time and expertise to a cause much larger than ourselves.”

Several SpringGreen owners and Support Center team members participated in this year’s event, joining hundreds of volunteers in maintaining the grounds. The event is an annual tradition for many, including those with personal ties to military service.

“Giving back through this event is a privilege we don’t take lightly,” added Johnson. “It’s an experience that leaves a lasting impression and reminds us of the power of community, connection, and service.”

AOLP highlights new approach to outdoor lighting

Mon, 21 Jul 2025 20:50:01 +0000

The Association of Outdoor Lighting Professionals (AOLP) highlights a new design focus for outdoor lighting: creating lighting that emphasizes architecture and landscaping while reducing skyglow and light pollution. Industry experts Todd Goers, Director of Sales at WAC Lighting, and Kevin Smith, National Technical Support and Trainer at Brilliance LED, provide their insights.

As demand increases for responsible outdoor lighting, the industry is proving that designers don’t need to sacrifice environmental integrity for visual impact. The principle is that quality lighting can be achieved without compromising the night sky.

The meaning behind “Pristine Night, Stunning Light”

A “pristine night” describes outdoor lighting that preserves natural darkness by reducing glare, minimizing light trespass and limiting skyglow. In contrast, “stunning light” refers to the visual impact, contrast and aesthetic appeal achieved through intentional lighting design. The current understanding is that it’s possible to have both.

“To me, a pristine lighting system is one that reflects what the customer really wants to feel when they look out at night,” said Kevin Smith of Brilliance LED. “It’s not just about what looks good—it’s about whether someone feels at peace when they come home. We’re not just placing fixtures; we’re designing emotion.”

“A beautifully designed job isn’t just about lighting up every tree or feature—it’s about restraint,” said Todd Goers of WAC Lighting. “Less is more. When done right, soft illumination can bring out texture and shape in ways that high-output lighting cannot.”

Techniques that support both beauty and responsibility

Designers are using a combination of precise aiming, shielding, dimming and scheduling to provide a refined nighttime experience and reduce environmental disruption.

“Downlighting is key,” said Smith. “It creates beautiful moonlit effects without sending any light into the sky. Grazing walls or highlighting texture with tightly aimed fixtures avoids spill and adds drama.”

“With adjustable beam angles, lumen outputs, and tunable whites, lighting pros can tailor every fixture to its purpose. That means lighting only what needs to be lit and nothing more,” said Goers.

Shielding also plays a big role in achieving this effect. “A few dollars spent on quality cowls and louvers can make all the difference,” said Goers. “You hide the light source, control glare, and let the effect—not the fixture—take center stage.”

Designing for emotion, not just illumination

Part of the movement toward pristine night design is a shift in how lighting is perceived — not just as a tool, but as a means of generating emotional experience.

“Think about how lighting makes you feel in a restaurant,” said Smith. “Bright lights in a fast-food place tell you to eat and leave. Soft, warm lighting in a romantic setting tells you to linger. Outdoor lighting should do the same—set the mood, match the lifestyle, and support relaxation or celebration.”

Looking ahead

As interest in dark sky preservation increases and lighting control technologies become more accessible, the balance of “Pristine Night, Stunning Light” is expected to play a more prominent role in residential and commercial projects.

“Lighting is evolving,” said Goers. “Homeowners are getting more sophisticated. They want elegance and responsibility. With today’s tools and expertise, we can give them both.”

DryJect unveils redesigned website with enhanced resources for turfgrass pros

Mon, 21 Jul 2025 19:48:19 +0000

DryJect, a provider of aerification, soil amendment and top dressing services, launched a redesigned website at dryject.com. The new site features agronomic management tools and worksheets, cost analysis calculators, university and industry research data, case studies, testimonials and locator maps for finding local DryJect service providers.

“We are thrilled to offer this new website as a resource for sports turf managers and golf course superintendents who want to learn how they can grow stronger turf with less downtime and fewer facility closures inflicted by traditional core aerification,” said John Paddock, owner of DryJect and former golf course superintendent.

DryJect is a one-step service that combines the agronomic benefits of aeration, soil amendments and topdressing all in one service. After a DryJect service, playing surfaces remain clean and smooth, with no debris left behind. The process requires minimal downtime and typically does not result in lost revenue from facility maintenance closures associated with traditional core aerification.

DryJect’s patented high-pressure water injection system creates aeration holes through the root zone to fracture the soil, while its vacuum technology simultaneously fills the holes with sand, peat or other soil amendments.

Key benefits of Dryject include:

Use in tandem with or in place of traditional aeration: With DryJect added to your maintenance program, you can improve your existing program and possibly lower the number of coring events.  Incorporating  DryJect into your existing aerification schedule, especially after a deep tine event, magnifies the benefits of deep tine aeration. 
No large capital investment: As DryJect is a service, there’s no large capital outlay or special employee training required. DryJect independent franchise service providers expertly operate the equipment, leaving most of your staff to fulfill routine tasks. 
Recapture lost revenue: As DryJect is virtually invisible, there’s little to no lost revenue from the kinds of long-term post-treatment closures you experience with core aerification. Turfgrass is ready for play shortly after the DryJect process. This approach to aeration is less disruptive, allowing playing surfaces to be available sooner and reducing overall recovery time.

The new Dryject website was written, designed and developed by the turfgrass industry marketing experts at What’s Your Avocado? Marketing & Public Relations.

SharpGrade introduces compact G73 Grader for precision in tight spaces

Mon, 21 Jul 2025 14:11:56 +0000

Equipment designer and grading technology firm SharpGrade has introduced the G73 Grader Blade, a precision grading attachment built specifically for compact track loaders and articulated wheel loaders in the 30-50 horsepower range. The G73 offers the accuracy of full-scale attachments while accommodating the footprint of small-capacity loaders commonly used in landscape, paving and residential grading.

The G73 measures just 45.5 inches wide with wings closed, extending to 73 inches when fully deployed. Its compact profile and hydraulic articulation aim to reduce manual raking in tasks such as sidewalk, cycleway and curb work. The blade also allows for reverse grading to eliminate track marks and improve finish quality.

Rodney Sharp, director of SharpGrade, said the attachment is designed for contractors looking to maintain efficiency and precision on restricted or sensitive job sites.

The grader uses SharpGrade’s QuadRod 3 linkage to keep the blade parallel through movement, with a Zero Cross Coupling design for independent blade control. It pairs with the company’s QuadGrade Power Pro system — an integrated touchscreen control module that simplifies machine swapping and remote diagnostics, making it well-suited for rental fleets.

SharpGrade, based in New Zealand, has positioned the G73 not just for owner-operators, but as a strategic solution for equipment rental firms looking to expand smart grading options for smaller machines.

The Big One: Wall-to-wall excellence

Sun, 20 Jul 2025 20:30:01 +0000

LOCATION New York City, N.Y.

COMPANY John Mini Distinctive Landscapes

DETAILS In the nation’s largest urban area, there’s not many places to fit an award-winning landscape. So, if you’ve hit rock (or, in this case, concrete) bottom, the only place to go is up.

For seven years, John Mini has managed the more than 8,000 ivy plants that make up the living walls of this prestigious hotel. But, as expected, managing this green exterior has some unique challenges.

“(We) really appreciate the client’s trust in our capabilities to service a wall of this importance and size and also the client’s commitment to incorporating natural elements into all their signature properties,” says Keith Behringer, director of business development.

He says tough NYC winters means replacing some plants every year, and accessing the wall is tricky. Maintenance is conducted on a lift truck, and due to the city’s limited space and busy nature, crews arrive extra early to secure parking without impeding pedestrians or the hotel’s operations.

Matt Wessol, director of outdoor, says a living wall like this has no normal routine, especially in the unpredictable climate. Maintenance is dictated by what the wall needs at any given moment, and he praises his team for being adaptable with this project.

John Mini won a gold award from the NALP’s 2024 Awards of Excellence program for this project.

Leaf the turf alone

Sat, 19 Jul 2025 20:23:38 +0000

With the recent heat waves that hit the eastern U.S. at the end of June, many have been worried about just staying cool and out of the sun. But for lawn care operators (LCOs) and turf pros, the dog days of summer also come with a slew of turf-related issues, too.

Logo: Quali-Pro

Drought, heat stress and fungal diseases can all sprout from the warm weather, but one of the most troublesome issues is gray leaf spot (GLS). This disease (Pyricularia grisea) is especially common in turfgrasses like perennial and annual ryegrass, tall fescue and St. Augustinegrass. Plus, warm, humid places such as the transition zone, mid-Atlantic regions and even the Midwest are particularly susceptible.

“We tend to see it when we hit the 160 degree (F) cumulative temperatures (day and night),” says Jay Wyrick, turf and ornamental agronomist at FineTurf in North Carolina. “It’s already in the high 90s here … then, when you get some rain or irrigate at the wrong times of the day, you’re going to start seeing problems.”

One reason GLS is such an issue is due to how quickly it can destroy a lawn, Wyrick says. The fungus produces spores on infected leaves, which can spread through wind, rain, foot traffic or lawn equipment.

“It can absolutely decimate a yard in about two weeks in a tall fescue lawn. I mean, it can really, really coalesce quickly,” he says.

Spot it fast

While Wyrick says the disease can sometimes be confused with drought or “melting out” to the untrained eye, GLS should usually stand out pretty quickly.

The leaves will show circular or oval tan spots with dark brown borders, something Wyrick says can be compared to chicken pox. The spots can also become gray and fuzzy due to spore production in humid conditions.

Patches of affected turf often become noticeably thin from dead and decaying leaf blades if left untreated, and due to the speed of GLS’ spread, quick identification is critical.

Finding new solutions

For Wyrick, his GLS control consists of common fungicides such as thiophanate-methyl (T-meth) and azoxystrobin.

“That gives us a little better protection as a combo,” he says, recommending a quick, proactive approach to applying fungicides when the disease starts appearing.

Another tip during prime GLS conditions is to stop mowing as much. Wyrick says the turf isn’t growing as quickly during the hot summers, and the constant mowing can further move the spores around while also damaging the turf’s tissue.

“I do see some issues with guys that mow on a weekly basis and get paid for weekly mowing — they can tend to cause a bigger problem with (spores) by moving them around,” he says. “We try to tell people, when it gets to 90 degrees with tall fescues, not to mow every week.”

To help rely less on chemical control, Wyrick says he’s started looking to improve his turf through GLS-resistant seeds, adding that many seed producers are starting to develop genetically improved grass varieties that can better withstand diseases.

“We know we can’t out-pesticide insects and diseases, so we’re trying to have better genetics in our turfgrass seed that we get for the fall,” Wyrick says. “When we go to aerating and seeding, you have several turfgrass varieties now that are gray leaf spot resistant or have more resistance to gray leaf spot.”
