Steve Walowski & the HLC Organic Lawn Care team are now certified for pest control, pesticide application & tick removal in the state of Connecticut by the Department of Energy and Environmental Protection.

June 1st, 2017 – Hillside Landscaping Co. of Berlin, Connecticut is proud to announce that owner Steve Walowski has recently obtained an Ornamental and Turf Supervisory Pesticide Applicator's License. The license, issued by the State of Connecticut Department of Energy & Environmental Protection (DEEP), is required for commercial applicators who are responsible for deciding whether or not pesticides are to be applied, how they are to be mixed, where they are to be applied, what pesticides are to be used, the dosage and timing involved in the pesticide use, and the methods of application and precautions to be taken in the use of such pesticides. The certification process involves the passage of both a written and oral examination.

Connecticut Bracing for Bad Year for Ticks...

“We’re extremely excited to have obtained this certification,” said Walowski. “With this summer season expected to be one of Connecticut’s worst on record in terms of tick population, we will now be able to help keep our customers safe from tick-related illnesses, such as Lyme disease and the Powassan virus.”

In addition to conventional tick control programs, Hillside Landscaping Co. offers an organic option as well, combining the effectiveness of conventional insecticides with the added bonus of being safer for beneficial insects and earthworms.
