As many of you know, the Governor announced measures starting Friday, May 8 to begin re-opening our communities, and easing restrictions in the counties we service. We thought it would be a good time to provide an update:
In the Office
Our administrative and operations offices will remain closed to the public. Our team is experiencing a high volume of requests and we apologize that our response time may be slower as a result. If you would like to make a payment, you may do so online at www.quality-care.com or by giving us a call at 319-354-3108. To schedule a mulch delivery or inquire about a lawn health care program please email customerservice@quality-care.com or call us at 319-354-3108.
In the Field
Our field team will continue practicing social distancing, and using all recommended PPE.
Lawn Health Care Program Update
We are currently working through spring applications and will continue to do so for the better part of May. The spring application includes a preemergence crabgrass control which prevents the germination of crabgrass seeds. While we haven’t seen crabgrass appear yet, soil temperatures are close to reaching the point at which crabgrass germinates. Our Lawn Technicians are also able to control crabgrass with a post emergence product, and will be watching for it over the next several weeks. Dandelions, however, are perennial weeds and must be treated with a contact herbicide after they appear. We are starting to see dandelions popping up in the area, if you see dandelions in your lawn, let us know so we can get them taken care of!

Mulch
We offer natural shredded hardwood mulch at $50/yard and a brown-dyed mulch at $55/yard. The delivery fee is $50 for drop offs to Iowa City, Coralville, North Liberty, Tiffin, and Hills; and $75 for drop offs to West Branch, Solon, Riverside, Swisher, and Kalona. We do not deliver outside of these areas. The lead time for deliveries is generally 3-5 days. We are unable to offer mulch installations or mulch purchases for pick up at our shop at this time.
Grass Cutting & Landscape Requests
At this time, we are unable to take on new requests for grass cutting or landscape enhancement projects. Our gardeners have a full plate this spring!
