MAZZANNA’S LAWN & LANDSCAPE OF BEAUFORT NOW PART OF THE GREENERY

The Greenery, Inc. – Thursday, February 09, 2012

The Greenery Inc., an employee owned company announces it has purchased the assets of Mazzanna’s Lawn & Landscaping of Beaufort. As of February 1, 2012 the two companies have come together in a merger that will most effectively serve the Lowcountry’s landscaping needs.

Mazzanna’s is a $3M revenue landscape maintenance and construction company based in Beaufort that performs commercial, residential and military contracts. Gary Mazzanna and his staff will continue serving their clients, but will do so as employee owners of The Greenery.

In a letter to Mazzanna’s clients, Lee Edwards, CEO of The Greenery, wrote, “We are … certain that we will continue the same quality of service that Mazzanna’s Lawn & Landscape has practiced and will continue to improve and enhance the quality of your landscape.”

Edwards also assures Mazzanna’s clients that “Our goal is to continue to provide … the best landscape maintenance in the Lowcountry, and we are confident that the expansion of resources will prove this to be a successful transition.”

Gary Mazzanna will work closely with Jerry Ashmore, a branch manager with The Greenery, to oversee daily landscape operations and be available to assist with any special requests or needs. 

DOES THE UNSEASONABLY WARM WINTER MEAN YOU SHOULD TURN YOUR SPRINKLER BACK ON?

The Greenery, Inc. – Tuesday, February 07, 2012

This winter has given Hilton Head Island residents lots of ups and downs in terms of temperatures. There have been days you just want to stay indoors and days you step out in flip flops. Should that change your watering strategy for your lawn?

The answer is no. Don’t be fooled by the warmer temps and think that means you should turn on your sprinkler system. This is the dormancy period for most turf grass and woody ornamentals. Watering your lawn now could cause fungal problems once it really gets hot outside. Warm days and cool nights spell trouble!

The only parts of your yard needing water now are new plantings and annuals such as pansies, violas and snap dragons. Water new plantings two days per week for 15 to 20 minutes max to ensure they are well established. Water your annuals only once a week for the same 15 to 20 minutes. So remember even though it feels like spring, don’t treat your lawn like it is.
