What Is Hardscaping and How Can It Benefit Your Commercial Property?

Pugh's Earthworks Hardscaping is landscaping that uses hard materials such as stones, concrete and rock to create durable, natural-looking features. Hardscaping is used to define the exterior of your business. Hardscaping also includes building patios, walkways, and fire pits. The main benefit of hardscaping is its durability. Hardscaping will add value to your commercial property. Elegant stone patios, walkways and driveways look like they belong in a magazine but are affordable to build. A variety of stone options are available for use in any type of hardscape project. The professionals at Pugh's Earthworks are the best in the Mid-South Region at Designing Hardscapes. Hardscaping is an excellent way to add value to your commercial property because it helps increase its curb appeal while also improving functionality. For example: if you want an outdoor kitchen for employees and entertaining customers, you might go with an island countertop made from stone slabs instead of wood or laminate flooring in your kitchen but do not want to spend thousands of dollars on new cabinets and countertops then consider adding them as part of hardscaping project instead! If you are planning on building a new building or renovating an existing one, then hardscaping is a great addition to your list of home improvement ideas. Hardscaping can be used for the exterior of your commercial property or on its own as a standalone feature. It can include patios, walkways and fire pits. It can also be used to accentuate an existing feature or add interest to an otherwise plain space. In addition to providing visual appeal, these features help with drainage and erosion control by stabilizing the soil around them. Hardscaping is also an effective way to reduce maintenance and improve the overall appearance of your commercial property. When designing a hardscape, consider the amount of time and money you want to spend on maintaining it. Some materials require little maintenance, while others may need to be repainted or sealed on a regular basis. It is also important to consider drainage when choosing a hardscape surface. Water collects in depressions, such as those caused by steppingstones in your walkway. If there is no drain nearby, it can lead to standing water and mold issues later on. Fire pits are popular additions to any outdoor space because they add warmth while creating an inviting atmosphere for employees, friends and customers to gather around during cold weather months (or anytime!). Fireplaces are another great way to incorporate heat into your backyard oasis; they are available in both freestanding styles as well as those built right into your business! The main benefit of hardscaping is its durability. Stone is a natural material that can last for decades if properly maintained, making it a low-maintenance option for your property. Stone is also easy to maintain because it does not require much effort to keep clean and free from debris. If you want to keep your stone looking pristine, all you need are some basic tools like a broom or [...]

Hotel Commercial Landscaping Hotel commercial landscaping is the process of designing and maintaining a hotel property. Hotel landscaping can add value to your hotel property, but it's also important to consider how it will affect your guests' experience. Hotel commercial landscaping involves keeping the grounds clean, neat and attractive so that guests feel welcome when they arrive at your establishment. You may want to consider adding features like pathways or benches so that people have somewhere comfortable to sit while they wait for their ride home after spending time at one of your facilities (like a pool).

Well, this is the perfect place to start. Flower beds can be used in many different ways around hotels and other buildings. They can improve the look of your hotel, help grow vegetables and herbs, or even fruit! The best thing about flower beds is that they are easy to maintain and make a great addition to any property. You can use them indoors or outdoors, depending on the type of plant you want to grow. Hotel Flowers Installation When it comes to hotel landscaping, flowers play an important role. Flowers can be used to add color, texture and fragrance to the grounds of your hotel. The type of flowers you choose will depend on what season they're planted in, as well as what type of soil you're using. If you have sandy soil, then annuals might not grow very well but perennials can be very successful in this environment. Perennials are plants that come back every year from their roots or bulbs while annuals die off after one season with no chance for re-growth the following year unless you plant new seeds each springtime. If you're planting perennials, it's important to choose the right type of soil and location for them. Most perennials need well-drained soil that is high in organic matter. Hotel Tree Installation When it comes to hotel landscaping, trees are one of the [...]

We offer a wide range of services, including: Commercial Services Lawn Maintenance Sod Installation Flower Installation Hardscapes (Retaining walls, patios, etc.) Complete Service Commercial Landscaping Lawn maintenance is important for the health of your lawn. Although it may seem like a lot of work, it's not hard to do and can actually be fun! Lawn maintenance includes watering, mowing and fertilizing. Watering your lawn will help keep it green and healthy by allowing the roots to grow deep into the soil where they can get more nutrients from decaying organic matter. Proper watering also helps prevent fungus and other diseases that affect the grass blades themselves. Mowing regularly will keep vegetation at an even height so that water penetration into the soil is efficient. Fertilizers should be applied in spring before new growth occurs (usually March-April), then again in late August through early September before winter sets in Sod Installation Sod is a great way to add greenery and privacy to your property. Sod also provides color, texture and an opportunity for you to create an outdoor oasis. The sod installation process includes rolling out the pieces of sod in rows, cutting them with scissors where they meet other pieces, removing any grass clippings left on top of the soil, watering thoroughly and then keeping an eye on how quickly new roots grow through it so that you can trim them back at regular intervals (no more than once per month). Flower Installation Flower installation is a great way to add color to any business, whether it’s inside or out. There are many different ways flowers can be installed depending on your needs and budget. The best time of year for flower installation is spring or summer, but you can even do it in the winter if you live in a warmer climate. Hardscapes Hardscapes are features that are not natural, but man-made. They include: paths driveways patios decking ponds and fountains (e.g., the pond at Ashdown Forest) Pugh's Earthworks is a company that can help you create your own hardscape.

Pugh’s Earthworks Protects Your Commercial Property all Year

Pugh's Earthworks Pugh's Earthworks provides commercial landscape design and maintenance services Tennessee, including Memphis, Jackson, and Nashville plus we service commercial lawns and landscaping in Little Rock, Arkansas and Southaven, Mississippi.  Our monthly seasonal landscape care for commercial properties includes professional lawn care, planting and pruning, landscape design, water-conservation strategies, and more including Winter Commercial Landscape Service. When it comes to seasonal landscaping care, winter is one of the most challenging due to the cold conditions, including the potential for snow and ice. The freezing ground can also make it difficult to do some of the most common landscaping and lawn maintenance tasks like weeding and planting. Winter is the perfect time to address landscaping and prepare the lawn and shrubs for spring and summer growth. Additionally, you want to maintain that all important curb appeal for your commercial property during the harsh winter months. Pugh's Earthworks will take steps winter proof your commercial property. Below is a high-level overview of some of the important actions to take to winterize your commercial property. Winter Commercial Landscape Service Prune and Clean - Remove all organic debris from your lawn, including leaves and fallen tree branches. Leaving that debris on your lawn can cause bacteria and disease to flourish as well as attract insects and other pests. This process also promotes the space for new growth. In addition, your curb appeal remains intact as the plant thinning and winter brush removal gives your landscaping a clean, professional look. Apply New Mulch - The overall value of refreshing mulched areas cannot be overstated. And it is a way to keep grounds looking sharp to improve aesthetic appeal. Plus, a new thick dense layer of mulch helps to protect sensitive plants and it promotes the retention of moisture and nutrients in the soil. Not to mention that weeds have more trouble germinating in thick mulch. Apply Pre-emergent Weed Control - To minimize weed growth in lawn areas, Pugh's Earthworks will use pre-emergent treatments that prevent invasive plants from germinating. Irrigation System Maintenance - Surprisingly, lawns can get over-watered in winter months. That means you should change your sprinkler system to water sparingly during these months. More precipitation in the winter means less need for irrigation and more need for good drainage. An experienced landscaping company like Pugh's Earthworks will be able to provide a seasonal watering assessment customized to each commercial client's property requirements. In addition, saving on expensive water bills, reducing runoff to prevent soil erosion and just an overall better functional water system will be designed. Fertilize for Spring - Applying fertilizer toward the end of winter or beginning of spring replenishes nutrients in the soil and ensures healthy plant growth once warmer weather returns. The certified landscape technicians at Pugh's Earthworks will perform a soil analysis to determine what is the best treatment. Reduce Lawn Traffic - A sometimes not apparent corrective measure for commercial lawns is to reduce heavy traffic on the lawn. During the winter months, the grass is [...]

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 Designs Valuable Hardscapes

Pugh's Earthworks Pugh's Earthworks provides Commercial Landscape Design and Maintenance to many businesses in the Mid-South. Our home office is located in Memphis, but we also have offices in Nashville, Jackson TN, Littlerock and Southaven MS. The certified landscape technicians at Pugh's Earthworks are skilled at all aspects of commercial landscaping service. One very important area is the design and build out of Hardscapes. The popularity for hardscapes has grown over the years due to the many benefits a property can receive from a well-designed and completed hardscape project. Pugh's Earthworks keeps up with all growing trends and delivers the best service to all of our customers in the five major markets we serve and surrounding areas. The presence of well-designed Hardscaping is critical to any commercial property.  Below are some things to consider as you evaluate modifications to existing or designing new hardscaping. Aesthetics - When clients, employees and vendors visit your commercial property, the presence of beautifully designed, installed and maintained hardscape will add definition and a sense of organization to the property. Hardscapes act as a frame to accent the colorful flower beds and decorative trees that you have selected to display. Typically, the most practical and durable hardscapes are built from heavy materials such as concrete, stone and wood. In addition to the appearance, these beautiful landscapes can be an outdoor oasis of sorts allowing employees to take a lunch break outdoors and perhaps take a brief walk around the property. If the property is a cemetery, hotel, hospital or retail shopping center, the same benefits will exist for customers or hospital patients. Pugh's Earthworks services these types of businesses. Safety - The best design of a hardscape will be well thought out in terms of the safety it provides to pedestrians. The Pugh's Earthworks technicians will carefully draft and review with our Commercial Property client what we feel makes the most practical sense for your property. Realizing that many people from employees, customers, vendors, delivery trucks etc.  will be traversing the property, we want to create a safe environment. Increase Property Value - Protecting and increasing the real estate value of a commercial property is always a major goal. Pugh's Earthworks knows this and therefore in the materials we use to create lovely hardscapes, we are careful to select good quality materials that also provide functionality. For example, we can construct natural brick, stone, interlocking pavers, flagstone cement, foot paths, and sidewalks. Then for purposes of preventing ground erosion and water conservation, we build retaining walls made of stacked stone, brick, or other materials. We also can turn these retaining walls into a natural seating area if our customer desires. Adding outdoor fireplaces is also a great feature. These allow people to enjoy the outdoors during the winter months.
