yellow meadow ants in lawns
We had major issues with yellow meadow ants creating multiple mounds in lawns last year causing an unsightly/difficult mowing problems & at worst lawns that were not pleasant to play or sit on by being bitten. We treated lawns with nematode on several occassions, some lawns were so badly affected a carte blanche treatment was the only way forward in my opinion as localised treatments would not contain the problem. The nematode treatment was not a great success as the ants remained a…See More

Tim Horner replied to duncan ross's discussion effervesence in black limestone"Hi Duncan
Have a look at my previous post on using sealant at high temp. the surface temp of black stone in the sun can be very high and may of resulted in baking the sealant on the surface before it could penetrate,

A discussion started by duncan ross was featuredeffervesence in black limestone
This is a tricky one. We laid a black limestone patio about 80/m2 4 years ago. We were asked to clean & seal it with polyurethane seal, which we did in February. Immediately after the sealing the paving looked as good as new. However, since then it has developed a mottling pattern like a dalmation dog which are random & milky in appearance. The sealant is a tried & tested top quality product. It looks like we had sealed some moisture into the paving although it was quite dry when we…See More

David J Coster replied to duncan ross's discussion effervesence in black limestone"Duncan, the first thing I'd pick up is that you mentioned it seemed quite dry which is critical as to how or if the sealer will perform. What I'd suggest is maybe you email me some pictures and details of what product/brand was used and…"

The way I see it is that the modern landscape company has to be at the fore front of trends other wise they may get passed over for a company that can undertake everything in-house. The still growing markets are 1. garden lighting, think out door living, this is a massive opportunity & more profitable very often than landscaping.
