Del Conte’s Landscaping has created its very own program for maintaining systematic, sound horticultural practices on schedule. It’s our Scheduled Landscape Annual Program, or SLAP for short. It’s why DCL is so successful at delivering the proper treatments on an absolute timely basis. Each year, for the past 21 years, our staff of horticulturalists convenes to review and improve the past years’ monthly to-do list. SLAP has so much incredible experience developed into it that it is now a proprietary document to be solely used by DCL.

SLAP incorporates approximately 20 different horticulture items per month to be managed and considered ensuring all elements of the finest, latest and most complete turf care, arbor care and gardening elements are maintained timely and on target. Such items proactively considered range from when to treat for olive suppression to prevent the messy fruit from staining sidewalks and carpets, to the mapping in October of crab grass so it can be treated in February. Other items include fertilization intervals based on soil conditions, rose pruning, soil aeration and so on. These are just a few of the hundreds of items part of SLAP we diligently consider for maintaining at its exact proper time.
