Winter burn on your landscape plants leaves and needles isn't pretty- new plants are especially susceptible. We offer Weathershield treatment to help protect them.
Winter desiccation injury is a common, unfortunate problem for landscape evergreens. Desiccation injury may occur when water is transpired or "lost" through plant tissue more quickly than it can be absorbed though the roots. This is caused by long dry periods of cold and thaw along with winter winds. Weathershield spray adds a protective waxy coating to the leaves of broadleaf evergreens to help slow the process of transpiration.
The following types of landscape plants are most often susceptible to desiccation:- Broadleaf evergreens such as azalea, boxwood, holly and rhododendron.
- Conifers such as arborvitae, cedar, cypress, juniper and pine.
- Tender stems such as rose canes and hydrangea stems.
Pricing starts at $85.00 per treatment. We suggest one treatment applied in November, then another during a late winter thaw.

Broccolo and the town of Canandaigua set the example for watershed protection.
This old wall was failing, and the Town of Canandaigua has strict environmental guidelines that do not allow vertical walls to be re-built. Why? The water freezes and thaws and has nowhere to go, so it undermines cracking old, mortared walls.
Vertical walls cause storm surges of water to be displaced into other properties affecting erosion for neighboring properties. Guidelines require plants and gradual slopes to filter water coming from the hills and to buffer the storm surges. This helps reduce flooding by slowing the water so it can slowly seep back in without the strength of a storm surge.
Safety for children and access to the water was important so we created steppingstones to wade into the water. It was a hot day and owner/designer Laure Broccolo had the privilege to work and relax on this beautiful Finger Lakes Property.
