Re: Commercial Ice Makers

There are only two brands that you need to consider.

Ice o Matic or manitowoc.

They are all prone to problems but these two are far and away the best brands. Buy the extended warranty........

Re: Cost of irrigation system for lawn

Just wondering around how much it would cost to have an irrigation system put in a lot around 12,000sqft. Thanks. Depends on several variables such as layout of yard, amount of bed space vs grass, ability to plow or trench, amount of obstacles and underground utilities. Connecting to a water meter ...

Re: Question for you lawn maintenance guys or small engine g

I'm looking at buying a used commercial grade Ferris mower. It's the IS 3100Z. I'm not sure though whether it has the Vanguard engine or the Kawasaki. It has 800 hours on it but the guy says it has been babied and painstakingly taken care of. I don't really have any reason to believe otherwise. I'l...

Re: Yard question

The short answer is get a bag of Heritage G and apply it at 14 day intervals. Treat at least 2 times and make sure to fertilize with a product that has a high amount of potassium (k) in it. Then use a product such as escalade 2 for the lespedeza (which is hard to kill) in the infected areas. There h...

Re: Pricing for new countertops

Also know your true square footage. Everyone is going to give you a different square footage when they come measure. It's so common to here people say they get something for $35 a square foot but they are being charged for 5 to 10 extra square foot that they are not getting. Price per sq ft means no...

Re: Pricing for new countertops

3cm (make sure you know thickness) granite should run you about $35 a square foot installed for the common slabs. Exotics are going to be more. Last job I had done cost me $3,400 for 104 sq ft and that included a sink. Granite has come down and the competition is fierce so don't be scared to negotia...

Re: Anything I need to see in Tunica?

Go to Hollywood casino right before dark. Park in parking garage out back and watch. Go on top level also. You'll see 200-300 deer in the field. Take binoculars also. Never know what will walk out. It's a club I believe over there and think its the most expensive around here, from what I was told. ...

Re: How to get rid of ants?

Phantom seems to work the best for ants in my experience if they are not fire ants. Use it as a perimeter spray, along baseboards and wherever ants are present (indoor and outdoor). Top Choice is a good granular for the yard. It seems to do reallly well at controlling fire ants. There are many diffe...

Re: lawn maintenance question

You need to fire your yard guy if he says nothing can be done. Pulling them out is not the answer. You should be able to buy sledgehammer at any co-op and the sticker. Certainty is another option. Nut sedge is usually a sign of to much water or poor drainage. Cut back on water or make the beds drain...
