Landscaping for Airfield and Launch Sites
Barto’s Lawn Care offers professional lawn maintenance for airfield and launch sites. The lawns on both of these sites are not to be ignored, as they require landscaping planning and maintenance not just for aesthetic purposes but also for practical reasons as well. For example, the surrounding areas of airstrips and launch sites shouldn’t be barren, as dust and soil can fly away anywhere and cause pollution when a rocket launches or a plane takes off. Also, vegetation in these areas also helps reduce noise.
Lawn Care for Airfields
Lawn maintenance for airfields is more than just for aesthetic purposes. It is also essential for practical reasons.
For example, patches of lush, green grass can help guide pilots find the runways especially when weather conditions cause low visibility. The color of the grasses provides a contrast against the surrounding areas, allowing pilots to differentiate airstrips from taxiways.
Airfield lawn maintenance must be entrusted to experienced lawn care specialists to ensure conducting proper procedures. For one, grasses on the airfield should be long enough to repel the common birds that are often hazardous to airport operations but short enough to deter larger wildlife and other types of birds to make the area their habitat. Weeds and flowering plants should also be removed to avoid attracting insects, which also attract birds.
