Make Sure You Have These Lawn Care Tools Before Spring If you are preparing for the arrival of spring and the growing season, now is the time to make sure you have the necessary lawn care tools on hand.
In early 1957, Frank J. Burke, a graduate of the University of Maryland with a degree in Entomology, incorporated Scientific Plant Service in the state of Maryland. In the beginning we were full service Arborists specializing in the care of shade trees and ornamental shrubs. These services included pruning and removal of shade and ornamental trees along with custom pesticide applications for trees, shrubs and industrial vegetation control. The 60's were instrumental in setting the standard to which we practice today. We became known for our tree foreman, Clyde Lowery, a Native American from South Carolina who would make his way around in a tree like a squirrel while sporting “bare feet”. To head our “ornamental care” we had “J.C.” Singleton who was trained in the art of pruning. In those days we pruned shrubs and trees with hand snips and pruners, not electric shears, a lost art! To avoid being stretched thin, Frank Burke hired Russ Hudgins as general foreman to assist in the management of day to day field operations. Russ supervised crews, performed spray applications and became a familiar face to all of our customers. Russ’ job evolved to customer sales before he left us after 18 years of service. With Mr. Burke’s entomology background it was only natural that plant health care services became our specialty. Preventive maintenance programs were developed for managing insect and disease problems on shade trees, ornamentals and fruit trees. As these programs were being developed our services expanded to include residential and commercial mowing, shrub bed mulching and fertilization of trees and shrubs. In the late 60's our spray program became known as the area’s finest and was growing rapidly. That’s when I (Ken Mays) came in the picture to assist with pesticide applications and eventually manage that arm of our service for Mr. Burke. Frank trained me passing along his knowledge of entomology and arboriculture making it possible for me to become certified in pesticide applications as well become certified with the Maryland Department of Natural Resources as a Licensed Tree Expert. Whether he realizes it or not, he also passed along the foundation of which we function today. That is, to always provide the best service available, to maintain a well trained work force, to respect our customers, to be on top of changes and advancements in our industry, insist on doing all jobs right and to be proud of who we are and our industry!

In the early 70's Franks’ training and teaching influences turned him to working with “retarded” citizens and teaching them landscape maintenance skills in his spare time. At that time he was instrumental in setting the foundation for the Landscape Management Program with, then BARC, now The ARC of Baltimore, which flourishes today as one the nation’s finest programs of its’ type! As Franks’ dedication moved towards this program, a decision was made to sell Scientific Plant Service, Inc., to an employee (and current owner) in 1975. Our missions remained the same under new ownership, however, the market was showing that we had moved into the era of specialization. Rather than continue as a full service company we decided to do what we knew best. We had established a reputation for extensive plant health care services, the foundation of our company. In 1978 we abandoned all pruning, mulching and mowing services to concentrate our expertise on plant health care. This was a good move. Our first year of specializing in pesticide applications was a grand success, surpassing the previous two (2) years sales! For the next 6 years we continued to grow and expand services within our specialty until 1984 when the decision was made to make a bold move. A new phase of our industry was being established in the metro area by major national companies, Lawn Care! At that time all my efforts were put toward developing a sound, unique lawn care program so, Bailey Walten took charge of operations for our other services. Bailey came to us in 1975 after graduating from the University of Maryland, with a degree in entomology. He applied his knowledge as a technician, moved into management positions and eventually became lead sales representative. After 23 years of dedicated service Bailey passed away from complications from Crohns Disease. His presence is still missed.
