🐝 Bee & Wasp Removal in Weston, FL

We recently finished a bee removal job at a Weston home. The property had multiple hives, including some tucked into the landscaping right beside the walkway.

Most hives were handled with targeted insecticide treatment. One colony, however, was so large that spray alone wasn't enough. With that many bees, and no way to locate the queen, we used Nuvan strips to fully eliminate it.

At Lush, we don't like killing bees. They're incredibly beneficial pollinators, and our landscapes depend on them. But when a colony can't be safely managed, the queen can't be found, and the hive is where people can get stung, it becomes a real safety hazard. In those cases, removal is the responsible choice.

The result? Zero activity at the property and a safe, worry-free home again. Another successful Lush job! ✅

Spotted a hive or heavy bee or wasp activity around your home? Don't take chances. Let our team handle it safely.

🐛 Scale insects and mealybugs are two of the most damaging plant pests in South Florida and they tend to flare up as the rainy season winds down. These pests attach to stems and leaves, draining plants of nutrients and leaving behind sticky honeydew that attracts sooty mold. At LUSH Outdoor Services, we identify and treat scale and mealybug infestations before they spread across your landscape. Healthy plants start with proactive pest management. Call LUSH today. 🌿

🧠 Darren's Lush Logic | Week 4 - End of September 🌿 As we close out September, here's my honest advice: the landscapes that look incredible in October and November are the ones that were cared for in August and September. This is the time to address disease, adjust irrigation, treat pest pressure, and plan your fall plantings. South Florida doesn't have a true off-season and that's actually a gift. You can grow and improve your landscape year-round. But only if you're paying attention. After 20+ years, I've learned that the best landscapes aren't accidents. They're the result of consistent, expert care. That's what LUSH delivers every single month. - Darren Frost, ISA Certified Arborist and Owner, LUSH Outdoor Services

🌿 As September winds down, South Florida landscapes begin their transition into the dry season and that means your irrigation strategy needs to shift too. Overwatering in the fall is one of the leading causes of root rot, fungal disease, and wasted water bills. At LUSH Outdoor Services, we adjust and optimize your irrigation schedule seasonally so your landscape gets exactly what it needs, no more, no less. Smart irrigation is the backbone of a LUSH landscape. 💧

🧠 Darren's Lush Logic | Week 3 🌳 One of the biggest mistakes I see property owners make is treating tree trimming as a cosmetic service. It's not. Proper structural pruning done by a certified arborist is about long-term tree health, storm resistance, and safety. When you over-prune, you stress the tree and create entry points for disease. When you under-prune, you create wind-sail canopies that fail in storms. I've been doing this for over 20 years in South Florida, and I can tell you: the trees that survive hurricanes are the ones that were properly maintained long before the storm arrived. That's not luck. That's LUSH. - Darren Frost, ISA Certified Arborist and Owner, LUSH Outdoor Services. Call today at (954) 326-5600

🧠 Darren's Lush Logic | Week 2 🌿 Here's something most people don't realize about whitefly: by the time you see the damage on your ficus, the infestation has already been going on for weeks. These pests work from the underside of leaves, out of sight and out of mind, until suddenly your hedge looks like it's dying. I've seen beautiful ficus walls wiped out in a single season because treatment started too late. The fix? Regular inspections. At LUSH, we catch it early. That's the difference between a thriving hedge and an expensive replacement. - Darren Frost, ISA Certified Arborist and Owner, LUSH Outdoor Services

🌿 South Florida's warm, humid September climate creates ideal conditions for lawn diseases like brown patch, gray leaf spot, and dollar spot. These fungal issues can spread quickly through St. Augustine and Zoysia grass if left untreated. At LUSH Outdoor Services, we diagnose lawn diseases accurately and apply targeted treatments to restore your turf to its full, LUSH potential. Don't let fungus win. 🏡

🧠 Darren's Lush Logic | September Edition 🌿 After 20+ years working in South Florida landscapes, here's what I tell every client this time of year: September is not the time to relax on your landscape. Hurricane season peaks this month. Ficus hedges are pushing new growth that attracts whitefly. Palms are showing stress from summer heat. And your irrigation system has been running hard all season, so now's the time to check it. The properties that look incredible year-round aren't lucky. They're maintained proactively. That's the LUSH difference. - Darren Frost, ISA Certified Arborist and Owner, LUSH Outdoor Services
