It's turning fall.

It is almost September and Brookside Of Idaho is thinking about fall clean-ups. Brookside of Idaho will be sending out advisory postcard to our customers in advance of the fall clean-ups. Fall clean-ups are just as important to ponds and water falls as they are to lawns and gardens. Lawn and garden clean-ups remove that old debris that looks bad and causes so much extra work in the spring. Fall clean-up in the ponds and water falls are just as important. In the pond, the spent plant material will settle to the bottom of the pond and decay during the winter. As the material decays it releases toxic gases into the water. If your pond freezes over and there is enough debris the gas will remove all the oxygen from the water and the fish will drowned. By removing the excess debris and keeping the pond operating during the winter there is less gas build-up and the open areas will let the gases to escape into the atmosphere. Brookside of Idaho is available to clean-up your yards, flower gardens, ponds and waterfalls. Contact us either by phone 941-3820 or www.BrooksideOfIdaho.com
Brookside of Idaho will be doing lawn fertilizer next year. If you think your lawn fertilizer professional is too high, check with us and Brookside of Idaho will get a quote to you this fall for next years fertilizer program.

Summer

Hi all. I haven't been on much this summer so I'll try to catch up today. Brookside of Idaho completed our pond tour to benefit Jayden Bennett and we had a good turn out. Talked to lots of people as they visited the ponds and waterfalls. We were able to add some money to the Bennett's expense fund. Every little bit will help.
Brookside of Idaho has been keeping somewhat busy this summer. Brookside of Idaho has installed a flag stone patio, an brick type patio, and a wooden deck with steps down three sides. Remodeled a couple of ponds, and some small landscape and sprinkler work. Of course, Brookside would like to continue to see more water features and landscaping develop. Early this spring it looked like the economy wasn't stopping people from doing the landscaping they wanted to do. But lately things have slowed a bit. The personal gardening work is continuing to move along pretty good and now it's getting close to start the fall cleanups. I'll be sending post cards for our customers to schedule in the cleanup times. If you are interested in getting your place cleaned up this fall please contact us and we will be happy to add you to our schedule.
