PRUNING SERVICES - pruning needs to be done for many reasons including; the encouragement of flower and fruit production, to control growth, to maintain proper form, and to remove damaged limbs. A knowledge of each plant is necessary in order to avoid improper pruning which can result in the accidental removal of flower buds etc. Proper pruning will improve the health and therefore the beauty of the plant. Pruning can be done weekly, bi-weekly, or on a one-time basis depending on your specific needs.

PLANT FERTILIZING - scheduled fertilizing is a necessary part of maintaining a plants health, because it replaces the nutrients a plant consumes from the soil. Fertilizing helps to increase flower and fruit growth, it promotes a vibrant color, it stimulates root formation, and increases disease resistance. Give us a call and we’ll recommend a fertilizing schedule that is right for you, based on the type of plants found in your landscape.

SEASONAL COLOR - let us bring in some vibrant seasonal color to accent the true summer beauty of your home. Annual flowers like Impatiens, Begonias, Petunias, will look great in almost any location.

WEEDING - weeding is recommended not only to maintain the beauty of your landscape. Weeds can compete with landscape plants for soil nutrients and water.

MULCHING - a healthy layer of mulch should be maintained in your landscape beds, and this is necessary not only to keep things looking good. Mulch prevents much-needed moisture from escaping from the soil during hot summer days, and it also insulates the root system from cold during the winter months.

SPRINKLER SYSTEM MONITORING - instead of using the same settings throughout the year, your sprinkler system timer should be adjusted with significant changes in weather, and with the seasons This will prevent drought conditions during unusual dry spells, and prevent the overuse of water during periods of rain. Professional Landscaping can make visits to your home on an as-needed basis to make any necessary adjustments or repairs to your system. The more efficiently your system operates, the more money you will save on your water or electric bill.

PLANT WINTERIZING - many landscape plants can be damaged from the effects of winter, such as the weight of accumulating snow, ice damage, salt damage, and wind damage. Plants are winterized by either wrapping with burlap, tying, or by using protective covers. Evergreen plants are most susceptible to winter damage.
