Our Customizable Schedule of maintenance includes:

  • Careful and never-excessive applications of pine bark, pine straw, and hardwood mulch to prevent weeds, enhance appearances and conserve soil moisture

  • Spring seasonal plantings (in-ground and seasonal planters with spring pansies, kales and other cool-season annuals)

  • Organic and conventional treatments to prevent weeds and disease, only as needed
