Nashville’s Verdant Charm: Elevating Commercial Spaces with Premier Landscaping

Pugh's Earthworks Creating an impressive first impression is paramount in the business world. For local businesses and corporate entities across Nashville, a vibrant landscape serves as a soft greeting that can make a colossal impact. It is a handshake with the eyes; an acknowledgment on a subconscious level that a space is cared for and inviting. In a city known for its musical heritage and burgeoning economic landscape, the artwork of nature should not go unnoticed as a component of business growth. This article is dedicated to exploring the importance and intricacies of Nashville Commercial Landscaping in the green heart of Tennessee. Why Commercial Landscaping in Nashville Matters More Than You Think When your business premises boast a well-manicured lawn, a distinctive edge is achieved. Nashville’s rich cultural scene finds a parallel in the attention it pays to outdoor aesthetics that reflect a community's pride and worth. Studies have repeatedly shown that green space has a direct correlation to human happiness and productivity. The connection to greenery, especially in urban commercial settings, provides a respite from the concrete jungle, fostering an environment that encourages patrons and employees alike to linger and engage. Local business owners who invest in their outdoor spaces are not only contributing to a more pleasant cityscape but are also reaping the rewards through increased foot traffic, the extension of branded identity into the outdoors, and the creation of a meditative environment that can be crucial to stimulating creativity and wellness. Pugh's Earthworks Tailoring Landscaping to Nashville's Varied Business Sectors Homeowners Associations (HOAs): With a focus on community, HOA landscapes should promote interaction and calm. This often means open, well-maintained green areas and safe pathways that encourage a neighborly ambiance. Hospitals and Healthcare Facilities: The landscaping for healthcare facilities is not just about aesthetics, it forms a vital part of the healing environment. Tranquil gardens, accessible walking paths, and green roofs can support patient recovery and reduce stress for both patients and staff. Industrial Spaces: Here, sustainable design and functionality take center stage. Drought-tolerant plants and erosion control measures not only beautify but also serve an ecological purpose, ensuring the longevity of the landscape. Luxury Apartments: Multifamily housing in Nashville requires a balance of beauty and practicality. Lush, inviting environments are designed for relaxation and social gatherings, while also being easily maintained to meet the high traffic demands of residents and their guests. Customizing for Niche Markets: Nashville's quirky boutique areas, booming tech districts, and historic sites each call for a unique approach. For some, this may mean trendy xeriscaping, for others a focus on indigenous plant life to maintain a sense of place. The key is tailoring to the specific needs and aesthetics that will resonate with the niches they serve. Nashville’s Native Plants Landscape: A Unique Palette for Every Need With its rich biodiversity, Nashville offers a local palette of foliage that is not only beautiful but adaptive to the area’s climate and soil. Species like the serviceberry and the fringetree provide brilliant seasonal displays, [...]

Pond Construction and Maintenance

Pugh's Earthworks Pugh's Earthworks offers a variety of Pond Construction and Maintenance Services. We have been working in the industry for over 30 years now and have helped many clients like you who wanted quality work done at a fair price. Our services are also available for commercial properties, hospitals, schools and other places where their ponds need proper maintenance. The popularity of commercial property ponds has increased significantly in recent years, as property have become more aware of the benefits they provide. Residential ponds are usually smaller than those found on commercial properties and are often created by landscapers or homeowners who want to add a special touch to their landscape. These types of ponds generally require less maintenance because they are not used as heavily, but they still need regular attention so that they continue functioning properly. Commercial aeration systems should be installed at all times if your business has a pond on its premises; this will keep it clean and prevent algae growth from occurring over time! If you are interested in learning more about how we can help keep your property clean year-round--and ensure its longevity--call us today! Commercial ponds are often larger than those found at residential properties and require a more thorough maintenance schedule. This is because they are exposed to heavier traffic and more wear-and-tear than their smaller counterparts, which can cause them to accumulate debris over time. The presence of algae can be especially problematic in large ponds or lakes because it makes the water cloudy and discolored; if left unattended for too long, it may even pose a safety risk! Commercial Aeration Systems Aeration is the process of introducing air into water. The goal is to increase the amount of dissolved oxygen in your pond, which improves its health and helps prevent fish from dying from lack of oxygen (hypoxia). Commercial aeration systems are designed for large ponds that need more than one skimmer unit or submersible pump to keep them healthy and clean. They're often used in koi ponds, which can hold thousands or even millions of gallons of water; however, if you have a smaller backyard pond that doesn't require this much attention--say 100 square feet or less--you can still benefit from using an aerator on occasion to boost its overall health. Benefits include: Reduced water temperature. Stabilized oxygen levels (ponds without aeration can become stagnant) Prevention of fish disease and death from hypoxia. Reduced algae growth. Improved water clarity (including the removal of green water). Ponds have become a popular way to add value, beauty and interest to commercial properties. Not only can ponds be used as water features, but they also provide an opportunity for fishing or other recreational activities. In addition to these benefits, ponds can be used to control noise and improve air quality around your commercial property. Ponds can be used for a variety of purposes. They are often used as water features, but they can also serve as a place to fish or [...]

They allow visitors to easily navigate through cemeteries, as well as provide access for maintenance equipment and vehicles. Maintaining these pathways is essential for ensuring that your loved ones' final resting places are kept in good condition throughout their lifetimes, and beyond. Here are some tips on how you can maintain your cemetery pathway: Keep an eye out for weeds or overgrowth along the sides of paths. This can be caused by plants growing up from under ground level due to poor drainage, so make sure that any puddles have been cleared before they become too large (and impossible to remove). You may also want to consider installing gravel or mulch around tree roots if they tend toward growing up rather than out--this will help prevent erosion at those points where water collects most often! Make sure all signs are clearly visible, so visitors know where they're going without getting lost among headstones all day long! Hiring a professional landscaper or [...]

Pugh’s Earthworks is a Premiere Customer First Commercial Landscaping Business

Pugh's Earthworks I recently ran across an article from the National Association of Landscape Professionals (NALP) that spoke to the importance of proper etiquette when it comes to Commercial Landscaping. Like any industry, treating customers like they are the most important is critical to any sustainable business model. Pugh's Earthworks is a premiere Commercial Landscaping Business in the Mid-South. Customers that utilize our services not only receive top quality services, but they also receive the respect and proper manners they deserve. The article was a good reminder that manner's matter. When you read the testimonials from the Pugh's Earthworks customers, it is clear our team fully embraces that fact. Below is an example: Testimonials “Act of Kindness.  So much of the time we only complain, but today I want to let you know of an extreme act of kindness expressed to me.  I was blowing the leaves off my carport and off my driveway when all of a sudden 8 young men with leave blowers came over and they blew the leaves off my entire front yard and added them to the ones they were cleaning up.  It took them less than 5 minutes, but I will remember this for the rest of my life.  We are elderly & my husband is a disabled veteran so I am sure you can tell how much this helped me.  Kudos to Pugh’s for hiring such compassionate & hard-working young men!” P. Harper Greenbrook The Pugh's Earthworks management team organizes periodic training classes for all employees. These cover the basics of safety, equipment handling and of course the proper interaction with all valuable customers. According to the NALP article, below are some of the basic principles a well-run service company like Pugh's Earthworks always follows: Commercial Landscaping Business Be Courteous This is the most basic level of etiquette all your employees should practice. Teach them to always be aware of people and train them to wave or smile at the customer or even passersby. Throttling down a blower or string trimmer as a neighbor walk by is a sign of respect. Your crews should know to behave on jobsite and refrain from horseplay or obscene language. Body language is also important. Teach your team members to make eye contact with the client when they’re speaking. This lets the customer know you are giving them your full attention. Discourage fidgeting or having a closed-off stance as this gives off the impression that you are not engaged in the conversation. Be Personal It means a lot to be known and taking the time to address your customers by their names when you are on their property helps them feel like they are not just a number in your book of business. If your crews struggle to remember all the names, provide them a cheat sheet they can look at before starting a job. Taking the time to look over the property and inform the client of any potential issues you see also shows you care about [...]

Pugh’s Earthworks Provides Expert Landscaping and Lawn Maintenance for Cemeteries

Pugh’s Earthworks Services Large Cemeteries in the Mid-South There are an estimated 108 cemeteries in Memphis TN. Pugh's Earthworks is a Preferred and Trusted Commercial Landscaping Company in the Memphis market. Landscaping and Lawn Maintenance for Cemeteries is a very unique practice and requires additional training and skill. In order to design a functional and appealing cemetery, the design steps used in traditional Commercial Property Landscape Design, are quite different. Pugh’s Earthworks offers landscaping, lawn maintenance and grounds maintenance services for cemeteries and funeral homes. Some of the largest and best-managed cemeteries in the mid-south have hired Pugh’s Earthworks. Our staff has the expertise and skill to professionally service these facilities. The process begins with members of the Pugh's Earthwork's Design Team meeting with the property owners. Clearly this is a critical step. Issues regarding proper land utilization and how to ensure long term functionality are discussed. As Cemetaries are places to visit loved ones, they need to be a place of serenity and calm. The Pugh's Earthworks team will work with the owners regarding the proper landscape and colors to be used for benches and fountains. Typically, colors that are more neutral are chosen. People generally do not prefer loud and bright colors. Next there are numerous decisions to be agreed upon when it comes to plants, trees, hardscapes, softscapes and fences. Again, as a Cemetery is a place of reflection, much consideration must be given to the trees and plants that are native to the region. Then deciding on walkways, fountains, lighting and flower beds comes into play. The professionals at Pugh's Earthworks take every step in this joint partnership with the owners very seriously. In the end, our team delivers every time and exceeds expectations. Signage is an important issue. Cemeteries especially large ones can be a maze to navigate. Without navigation signs, patrons can become frustrated. Of course, there are signs for multiple purposes like Directional, Information or even Temporary. Regardless of their purpose, each sign must be created to flow with the aesthetics of the Cemetery environment. Pugh's Earthworks also has the expertise to properly establish drainage systems to keep the Cemetery Landscape healthy, functional and beautiful. In addition, our team will also work closely with the owners regarding the expected grave capacity of the property. This is a critical design component. In modern times and in more populated parts of the world, land space has become a serious problem. Such things as Skyscraper Cemeteries that can house Urns of loved ones and Stacking of Coffins or burial in a vertical verses horizonal method are now being used. Land is a shrinking commodity. To summarize, the Professionals at Pugh's Earthworks are the folks to call if you are needing a Cemetery Design and ongoing Landscape Maintenance.   Pugh’s Earthworks is a large landscape and lawn maintenance firm. We own and operate 5 landscape offices, located in Tennessee, Mississippi and Arkansas.

Pre-screen and qualify your prospects You must find ways to work smarter, not harder. This starts with implementing a solid, well-structured pre-screening and qualifying program. The program should be documented and trained so several people in your organization can do the screening and pre-qualifying of the prospects that call. Building the program has a number of facets to it: Pre-screening This is the first step where you make sure that the prospect’s project aligns with the work you do. The prospect may need a large tree removed from their property. You do not do arborist work, so you can let the prospect know that you do not offer this service. At that point you can end the call or refer the prospect to a company that you know does good work. Be careful when referring work to another contractor. The work they do reflects directly back to you. Referring to the [...]

Pugh's Earthworks Landscaping Cemetery Landscaping There is much to consider when designing and maintaining the landscape of a cemetery. Attention to detail is paramount. Typically the best designs deliver a flowing landscape. Consideration of plant and tree types is important. For example tree size and trees that do not bear fruit or nuts are all factors to consider. Then there is the careful examination of the soil and climate of the region to factor in. Often man made ponds are added to the cemetery landscape to add an element of peace and serenity.  Some options of trees are the birch tree, the weeping willow and the sugar maple. These varieties of trees offer a peaceful look and they attract local bird species and other wildlife. The professional and certified landscape technicians work closely with the infrastructure development team for a cemetery. There are numerous things to consider as the cemetery is being built such as proper installation of drainage piping, water supply piping, sewer piping and storm drainage. This calls for a skilled landscape design crew like Pugh's Earthworks so that the plants, trees and walk ways are aligned with the overall cemetery design. When you consider the permanence of a cemetery as a community addition, the careful planning and coordination by the architects and landscape technicians is critical. Often city planners take input from the community members so that final product is one that leaves the community with a proud addition to its overall appearance. The selection process of a building company and landscape company is normally done through a bidding and presentation process.
