Maintaining Healthy Landscapes
Our awesome garden crews are watering, weeding, fertilizing, deadheading, staking, and providing animal control methods this month. Shrub pruning and lightweight summer mulch applications to annual beds are also a part of the July management schedule. We often create cut flower arrangements from client gardens, as well as provide staging services for garden parties and special events.

Landscape Design Services
We are still creating garden and landscape designs through the rest of the season. Here our mascot, Barley, tries to point out a special feature he would like Anne to include in a garden design.
