Details: May 31, 2024; By SARA CAVANAGH

Start planning now!

Holton After working in the carpentry trade since 1976 we started James K. Holton, Inc. as a general contractor in 1991 doing residential construction and site work.

In 2015 our son purchased the business and continues to own and operate it as a general contractor.

At that point I transitioned into light excavation work.

My services include pasture mowing and land maintenance along with light excavation.

We have the equipment to mow overgrown fields, out of control hedge rows, light clearing, cutting or clearing of trails, as well as stone driveway maintenance and repair, and demo of small buildings.

I am licensed and insured and serve the southern Chester County areas around Landenberg, New London, West Grove, Unionville, Avondale, Oxford, and Kennett Square.

Mowing season is will be upon us soon.

Envirostall: The Future of Stall Maintenance

Details: April 4, 2024; By Staff Writers

Every equestrian knows the challenges of maintaining a clean, safe, and healthy stall environment.

Enviro 1 Dirty, moist stalls cause health issues like respiratory ailments and hoof problems.

Uneven or non-supporting surfaces cause undue joint stresses.

From the labor-intensive cleaning to the mounting bedding and waste disposal costs, the traditional methods can be challenging.

Envirostall will revolutionize your stall-cleaning experience.

Envirostall is a patented biofiltration system that removes urine and impurities from your stalls and converts the contaminants into water and harmless gases before they enter the ecosystem.

Envirostall remains level while providing a comfortable, yet supportive foundation for your horse.

With Envirostall, your barns will not have the ammonia smell from the urea, which causes respiratory health issues for both humans and horses.

You will see a drastic reduction in bedding and waste disposal costs by up to 75 percent, and labor and veterinary expenses decrease by as much as half.

Enviro 2 Envirostall's multi-layered, patented system, about five inches deep, uses the natural processes of bioremediation to clean and neutralize urine contaminants.

Envirostall absorbs horse urine through the Envirofilter, a one-piece layer of water permeable, geotextile material that filters horse urine and other impurities out of the stall and into the Envirostall system.

The urine then continues through the Enviromat, an anti-fatigue layer of matting that provides a level, comfortable surface for your horse.

This layer greatly reduces stress on your horse's joints and the potential for hock sores.

Enviro 3 The urine then settles in a layer of Envirolyte, a highly porous stone aggregate, where millions of proprietary microbes designed specifically for horse urine live and digest the urine impurities.

The water then flows back into the soil as clean water with no nitrates, phosphates, or antibiotics.

As long as you keep a horse in the stall, these tiny bugs will thrive and multiply, working continuously to clean and neutralize impurities from your stalls.

With Envirostall, your stalls are virtually pristine reducing the health risks to your horses and you.

You can have confidence in knowing that your stalls are sanitary and your stable is the healthiest environment possible for your horses.
