| WE NEED TREES! Goal is to plant 80 + trees. We appreciate any donation. | |  |
We wanted to share an opportunity to support one of our own, Jason Obssuth of Mill Brothers Outdoor Living. Earlier this spring, Jason's son, Dale Obssuth, was in a serious collision between his motorcycle and a pickup truck on E. Prospect Rd. He was transported by ambulance to a local hospital with severe injuries after having a tree branch travel through his pelvis into his abdomen. He has had multiple surgeries already to stabilize bleeding, remove foreign debris, and to try and repair some of the damage done to his pelvis and internal organs. Dale will need several surgeries and care going forward to help repair his injuries. Please send all your positive energy, well wishes, and prayers to Dale and his family. Any donation is greatly appreciated to help the family through this difficult time. | | | |

A new air regulation that creates restrictions for certain lawn and garden products used in Colorado by federal, state, and local government agencies to reduce air pollutant emissions from push and handheld lawn and garden equipment starting in 2025.
How this will impact commercial operators in non-government agency properties will be discussed starting in December. We urge you to be involved in how that decision is handled.

The end of summer – temperatures starting to get (hopefully) more bearable, school getting back in session, and the slow transition into fall services. And, in the context of this article, the peak flight of Monochamus spp. in Colorado, or Pine Sawyer beetles – the vector for the dreaded Pine Wilt disease.

“Your Last Service Killed My Lawn”
By: Dr. Brad DeBels, Vice President of Operations | WeedMan
Since the inception of lawn care, homeowners have consistently uttered the above phrase on a hot-tempered call to our customer service team. For those of you that have been in the lawn care industry a while, there may have even been some truth to that statement a few times, none of us are infallible.
