Landscaping Maintenance
We offer a variety of services offered throughout the year with specific solutions to prevent problems in an ecologic and more effective approach. We stress routine maintenance of your property as an essential part of our services.
Some of our services:
- Spring cleanup:
General cleanup including trimming, edging, specific pruning, and weed prevention controls. We strive to be selective knowing that all plants are different and not all require the same care. (For example, lilacs prefer trimming after they bloom and before mid-June.) This helps to insure that new flower buds will form properly and bloom the following spring.
- Weed control programs for shrub & flower beds
Timing is very important. We recommend a dormant or cool season application. All our products are safe and help to preventively keep weed populations to a minimum. These products also stay in the top soil layer and don't travel which protects our water supplies.
- Feeding & spray programs:
Consisting of three to four treatments both feeding and insect and disease-control.
-- Early timed spring feeding consisting of organic, custom-blended fertilizers.
--Early spring organic insect & disease spraying.
This treatment includes a dormant spray geared towards insect and disease prevention. Integrated Pest Management Practice (IPM)
--treating specific plants rather than overspraying has proved most effective
--Mid season spray concentrating on red spiders, scales & other insects. This spray includes long range system along with foliage disease controls
--Late summer spray concentrating on flying beetles, spiders, etc.
- Specialized feeding programs
Programs include specific fertilizers geared toward certain varieties such as acid loving azaleas & rhododendrons. Many plants require a little extra help--we help your plants not only survive but thrive.
- Pruning
We have various programs geared to specific plant varieties. Our experience has shown that many plants require specific pruning at different times of the year. This eliminates stress on plants and allows them to keep their characteristics intact.
- Mulching
We provide different types of organic mulches such as root mulch, licorice root, organic dyed mulches, playground chips and custom-blended types.
- Specialized Programs
These include vegetable garden installations and also supplying different types of compost along with specific organic fertilizers. (Ask for our organic pest control sheet)
