Make Your Landscape Pop

Using mulch, or a mulch substitute is a great way to add some contrasting color to your yard to make your lawn and garden pop!  Not only is it a great way to add some color and prevent weeds. Mulch helps retain moisture for the plants that are mulched saving water and keeping them healthy.  Especially ornamental trees shrubs and trees.

Mulch is a versatile and cost effective solution for quite a few applications.  Adding other amendments to simply mulching can bring a garden or landscape to life!  Natural fertilization, soil conditioners, weed prevention, and water retention all increase by using mulch with other landscaping techniques.

Adding landscape fabric or pre-emergent while having mulch installed reduces the amount of weeds that grow to almost nothing.  Landscape fabric helps keep anything from growing up through the mulch. On the other hand, pre-emergent is an application that prevents new seed germination. New, unwanted weeds in the mulched area growing from seed that season will not begin. Pre-emergent applied the appropriate season earns the best results.  We suggest only using landscape fabric under stone or rubber mulch. If you or our landscapers want to go back and do an additional planting, the fabric is an obstacle to our plants just like it is against weeds.

A Combined Effort

A combined effort from a pre-emergent application and 2-3 inches of mulch is one of the best, most natural ways to prevent weeds without hurting any plants that are already growing in your garden.  Weed growth cannot be stopped completely, or indefinitely. Combating weeds is an ongoing task. Having the right tools and techniques help reduce the amount of time and labor involved in preventing or removing weeds, but nature doesn’t stop, which is where our lawn care services help by staying on top of any issues before they become more costly or problematic.

Thinking about having your current garden beds freshened up?  We deliver and install the mulch as well as cut a new edge on each garden bed. Doing this leaves them looking sharp and crisp.  Adding contrast color with mulch makes all of the green plants look greener, and color flowers look more vibrant. It helps everything pop!

Colored mulch is a great product.  Because of how it is dyed however the color does not stay true forever.  Black and red mulch begins to fade in color after about a year, which is the perfect time to freshen up a mulch bed.  Throughout the time that the mulch is in the garden, it slowly breaks down. By doing this, it creates a very small amount of nutrients for the soil. It also helps keep our county clean!

Keep Your Plants Looking Their Best

One of the best ways to keep a hedge or shrub healthy is to keep it trimmed.  Depending on your level of concern and the species of the plant, shrubs can be manicured three to four times a growing season, trimming once at the minimum.

Keeping a plant trimmed helps promote its health in many ways.  It ensures the plant focuses its growth in the proper area, it allows for sunlight and air to reach foliage, and eliminates any dead growth that may sap energy from the plant.

Using the right tools and keeping them maintained for trimming hedges or shrubs is key.  Not having a sharp enough blade can bruise the plants while it cuts. Having this happen hurts the plant making them more susceptible to insects or disease.  Trimming while the weather is wet or damp is another way to possible introduce negative critters or bacteria.

Knowing the best way and when to approach a plant trimming requires combining each aspect into a full plan.  The right tools, timing, and plant knowledge.  Our landscape team will consult with you every step of the way to make sure you are more than satisfied.

Starting the lawn care season off in spring by dethatching, aeration and overseeding are all great choices.  Thatch builds up from cut grass or leaf litter that the grass grows through. Some thatch is good, but too much is not by preventing oxygen from reaching the grass roots.  Aeration and overseeding both work hand-in-hand by improving soil health and thickening the lawn; both working together to increase your lawn’s overall health.

Applying grass seed to a bare spot, or in overseeding is a very cost effective way to bring new growth to your lawn.  Grass seed goes a long way for the money. Sod works great as well if you need grass quickly. If you have the time to grow it yourself, having our team of landscapers prepare the area and apply grass seed will add growth to any lawn or bare spot.

Leaf Cleanup In The Fall

Because of the deciduous trees within our area, or trees that drop their leaves every fall; leaves have to be taken care of.  This is something almost anyone can do, but the labor involved is typically intensive. With the proper professional equipment having leaves cleaned up can be efficient and cost effective.

It may seem like a good idea to keep the leaves on the ground laying on the lawn to keep it insulated in the winter.  This may work, but more often it creates problems such as mold growth, or trapping to much moisture and rotting the roots before the ground freezes.  It you prefer to use your leaves to benefit your lawn try to have some of them mulched into the lawn. To much and the thatch will become to thick.
