Behold: THE FLAME WEEDER!

What does a landscaper ask Santa for Christmas? 

A FLAME WEEDER.

Kevin's kindly parents gifted him a flame weeder with a propane backpack this past holiday season. It lived in our trunk for the 6 hour drive home from Virginia. We've joked with friends about creating a landscaping theme park. You can play with fire! Dig holes! 

A few weeks ago we installed a forsythia hedge for a client. Maine began flame weeding the lawn. Singeing the leaves kills the root system, preventing regrowth. It's a healthier, more organic alternative to landscaping fabric and other bed building methods.



More privacy with the neighbors and the perk of lovely spring blossoms.



Happily, we were able to enjoy tulips planted this past fall. So lovely!
