I love to putter through my garden on summer mornings. I deadhead fading flowers and leaves, look for symptoms of disease or insect damage and enjoy the constant changes that take place throughout the seasons. It’s a very enjoyable activity to me and it helps to keep my garden in peak condition. I realize that not everyone enjoys or has time for such intimate daily contact with their garden. That’s why it is so important to have highly trained maintenance people taking care of your landscape.

I hate it when I see plants so poorly pruned that they have lost their characteristic form and charm. Heaps of mulch smothering tree roots, valuable perennials pulled out with the weeds, wholesale spraying that poisons birds, and who knows what else…are all examples of poor maintenance practices. A fine landscape is a significant investment and it needs to be well maintained to retain its beauty and value.

Many landscape maintenance firms excel at lawn care. For landscape plantings, a trained garden professional is a better choice. A professional gardener should direct and supervise all maintenance activities. It’s also helpful to have a landscape architect available for consultation.

Doesn’t it make sense to protect your investment by maintaining it to the highest standards of horticultural practice?
