We Take Commercial Landscaping Safety Guidelines for Our Employees and Clients Seriously!

Pugh's Earthworks Working in a commercial landscaping company can be dangerous. There are lots of hazards, including heavy equipment, power tools and chemicals. If you are not careful, it is easy to get hurt. That is why it is important you to follow all Commercial Landscaping Safety Guidelines when working a job site. Commercial Landscaping Safety Guidelines Always wear protective gear. Use the right tools for the job, and make sure they are in good working order before you begin. Be aware of your surroundings at all times, especially if you are working with heavy machinery or chemicals that can be harmful to yourself or others if spilled on them. Make sure that you are physically able to perform tasks safely before attempting them; if you find yourself struggling with something, do not force it--take a break until you feel better! Never work alone--having someone else present will help ensure that everyone stays safe during their projects! When you are working on a project, take frequent breaks. It is important to rest your eyes and body so that you do not become too tired or make any mistakes due to exhaustion. If you feel yourself getting drowsy, step away from whatever it is that you are doing for a few minutes! If you are working on a project that requires you to use sharp tools or equipment, make sure to wear protective gear. This includes wearing gloves, safety goggles and other items that will keep your hands and eyes safe from injury. It is also important to wear sturdy shoes so that your feet do not get injured by anything slippery or sharp on the floor! Commercial Landscaping Safety Training You can learn from others' mistakes. It is important to understand the risks of commercial landscaping and how to avoid them, so you can develop a plan for safety. Training also helps you develop a plan for safety, which will help keep your employees safe on the job site. Employees who have been properly trained are more likely to follow proper procedures and use equipment safely, resulting in fewer injuries or fatalities related to commercial landscaping activities. Training is also important because it helps you understand OSHA regulations and other state, or local laws related to commercial landscaping. These regulations vary by location, so it is important that you know what they are before starting your business. Training will help you develop a safety plan that conforms with these requirements and keeps all of your employees safe on the job site. Benefits of Using a Safety Certified Landscaping Firm Safety is a top priority for all companies. As a business owner, you want to ensure that your employees are well trained and aware of the safety guidelines for your business. Safety training can help you do this by teaching them: The importance of having a safe working environment How to identify hazards in the workplace How to avoid dangerous situations through proper planning and preparation How to use the right [...]

Our Technicians Know the Best Grass for Mid-South Commercial Properties!

Pugh's Earthworks If you live in the Mid-South region of the United States, you know how important it is to have a lush and green property. Not only does it make your place look great, but it is also an indication of quality and pride. Grass that is well-maintained can also help with storm drainage and prevent runoff when there is heavy rain. This is why our team at Pugh's Earthworks Commercial Landscaping has compiled this list of some of our favorite grasses Best Grasses for Mid-South Commercial Properties: Bermuda grass Bermuda grass is an excellent choice for lawns because it has a fine bladed texture, which makes it easy to mow. It is also resistant to most diseases and insects. Bermuda grass requires watering during its first year in order to establish itself. Bermuda grass is a warm season grass that does well in the Mid-South. Bermuda grass is a fast-growing grass that needs frequent mowing. It can tolerate drought conditions and has good shade tolerance, making it an ideal choice for residential lawns. Bermuda grass is an excellent choice for lawns because it has a fine bladed texture, which makes it easy to maintain. And again, it is very resistant to most diseases and insects. Centipede grass Centipede grass is a good choice for the Mid-South. This warm season grass grows best in full sun and well-drained soil. Centipede can tolerate drought conditions, which makes it an ideal choice for commercial properties that experience dry spells during summer months. It also does not succumb easily to disease, making it a low maintenance option for your Mid-South property. Centipede grass is a low-growing option that can be used for ground cover or as an accent in your landscape. It has dark green leaves with a fine texture and grows in clumps from 6 to 9 inches tall. Centipede grass is a perfect choice for residential and commercial properties in the Mid-South. Its minimal maintenance is a plus and this grass will not require watering once established, making it a great option for areas that experience dry spells during summer months. St. Augustine grass St. Augustine grass is a warm-season grass that can tolerate drought and is low maintenance. It grows slowly but has a deep root system that gives it its durability in harsh conditions. It is ideal for commercial properties because it can withstand heavy foot traffic and provide year-round protection from weeds or other plants that may try to take over your lawn. St. Augustine will grow well in any climate where temperatures stay above 40 degrees Fahrenheit during the day and below 60 degrees at night, although it will grow better if they are closer to 50 degrees on both ends of that spectrum (40-50). St. Augustine grass can be planted in areas where Bermuda grass is already growing, but it will not thrive there. If you want to switch from Bermuda to St. Augustine, you will need to take out the old plants and do [...]

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 [...]

Eco-Friendly Commercial Landscaping

Pugh's Earthworks Commercial properties are huge areas that can be transformed into a green haven for biodiversity and wildlife habitat. Climate change concerns have led many companies to make their buildings more sustainable by incorporating more plants, water features and natural lighting into their designs. We have all seen those commercials on television, where the landscapers are pushing their gas-powered mowers, burning fossil fuels and releasing toxic fumes into the air. This is one of the reasons why Eco-Friendly Commercial Landscaping in Memphis is becoming so popular and the professionals at Pugh's Earthworks are on board with that. Eco-Friendly is not just good for your health; it also helps with saving money on energy costs! When you take into account all of these benefits combined with how much better it makes our community look overall as well as helping reduce carbon emissions from cars which causes global warming; there really is not any reason not to go green! There are many different ways you can go about going green. One of the most popular is to use an electric lawnmower. These machines are very easy to use and require little maintenance; so they're great for people who don't have much time or energy to spare! Plus, there's no more need for gas cans or oil changes either, which makes them even more environmentally friendly than their gas-powered counterparts. Another way to go green is by using organic fertilizers. These types of fertilizers are made from natural ingredients such as cow manure and animal bones; and they're much better for the environment than chemicals which can leach into groundwater or runoff into rivers. Another thing you can do to go green is to use eco-friendly cleaning products. These types of cleaners do not contain any harsh chemicals which means they're safe for the planet as well as your health! You can find these at most grocery stores nowadays; so, there is no reason not to try them out! Landscaping does not have to look dull or boring. There are plenty of plants that you can use that will not only be beautiful, but they will be good for the environment too! The experts at Pugh's Earthworks keep this is mind as we design, install and maintain beautiful and Eco-Friendly Commercial Landscaping. We keep in mind that the below issues are critical: Curb appeal: Landscaping is an important part of any commercial property, as it can help increase your sales and attract new customers. An appealing landscape will make your business look more professional and attractive to potential clients. Beauty: A beautiful yard makes people happy--and happier customers are more likely to come back! Plus, a well-maintained lawn creates an inviting space where employees can relax during breaks or after work hours (and even on weekends). This helps reduce stress levels which leads to better productivity throughout the day since workers will not feel as tired when they get up in the morning because they got plenty of restful sleep thanks to [...]

Summer is Officially Here so Contact Us Now to Install or Adjust your Commercial Lawn Sprinklers!

Pugh's Earthworks If you have a business or large property, you know all too well the difficulties and costs associated with maintaining it. Commercial Lawn Sprinklers are one of the most important aspects of any lawn care business. They keep your grass green and healthy, but if not maintained correctly they can be a big problem. Here we'll cover everything from commercial lawn sprinkler installation to their benefits for businesses. Commercial Lawn Sprinklers Commercial lawn sprinklers are used in yards that are larger than typical residential properties. These sprinklers can be set up to water a large area, which makes them ideal for commercial applications or large yards. Commercial lawn sprinklers are typically used to water large areas, such as parks, sports fields and school yards. They are also commonly used on golf courses and industrial sites. Pugh's Earthworks Pugh's Earthworks has been in business for over 30 years, and we have a reputation for quality work. We are a family-owned business that values honesty and integrity. Our customers appreciate our attention to detail, which is why they keep coming back to us year after year. As a full-service landscaping company, we offer a wide range of services. We can take care of all your lawn care needs, including mowing and fertilizing. If you have trees that need pruning or removal, we are happy to help with that as well. Commercial Lawn Sprinkler Adjustments Adjust the flow rate. Flow rates are measured in gallons per minute (GPM). If you have more than one sprinkler on your property, you will want us to adjust each one so that they all operate at similar rates. The general rule of thumb for commercial lawn sprinklers is to set them between 1/2 and 1 GPM higher than what's recommended for residential lawns. Adjust the spray pattern. Sprinklers come in many different shapes and sizes--some are round, others are square or rectangular; some shoot water straight out like beams from a flashlight while others create wide arcs from side-to-side across an area of grass or other plants. Adjusting the spray pattern is routine for our team. Typically, we turn the head of your sprinkler in either direction until you find a setting that works for you. To conserve we water, we frequently adjust your nozzles, so they shoot out water in a more concentrated stream rather than a wide arc. Commercial Lawn Sprinkler Water Flow When adjusting water flow, look for the following: The amount of water that is needed to cover your lawn. If you have a small yard and only one sprinkler, then this will be easy to determine. If you have an expansive area that requires more than one sprinkler, then it may take some time to get just right. How high should I adjust my sprinklers? The height of your lawn sprinklers should be set according to how tall or short your grass is so that they don't miss any areas while watering. For example, if there are tall trees around part [...]

We will help you create a landscape design that is functional and beautiful. Retail Center Hardscapes A hardscape is any outdoor area that's comprised of natural materials. This includes everything from your lawn to your patio and everything in between. The benefits of hardscapes are numerous, but they can be broken down into three main categories: They are easier to maintain than landscaping with plants alone. They do not require as much water or fertilizer to stay healthy. You can create designs with them that would be difficult or impossible using only plants (and vice versa). Retail Center Sprinkler Installation Sprinkler installation is an important aspect of a landscape maintenance plan. Sprinklers are used to water plants, keep soil moist and prevent erosion. Although you may think that sprinkler design and installation is not something that needs to be done by a professional landscape maintenance company, it actually does. A poorly designed system can cause damage to your property or even injury if not installed correctly. The best way to ensure that your retail center has the right type of sprinkler system installed is by hiring professionals like us here at Pugh's Earthworks who have been installing these types of systems for years! Retail Center Flower Bed Design The flower bed is a great way to add a splash of color to your landscape. Flower beds can be used to divide up large areas, help define the edges of your property and create a sense of privacy. Retail Center Landscape Irrigation Retail center landscape irrigation is an important part of maintaining your retail center's landscape. Your irrigation system should be simple enough to allow you to easily maintain it, but complex enough to provide adequate water for the needs of your plants. There are two main types of irrigation systems: drip and spray. Drip systems deliver water directly at the root zone of each plant through small tubes that are buried under ground level or placed above ground in an enclosed pipe [...]

We do this in Littlerock Arkansas and four other markets we proudly serve. We have been providing landscaping services since 1992 and our team is dedicated to offering quality lawn care products at affordable rates. Here are some of our most requested commercial lawn maintenance services in Littlerock and all Pugh's Earthworks markets: Littlerock Arkansas Commercial Lawn Maintenance Lawn mowing. We can help you keep your grass looking its best with regular mowing, which includes trimming edges to give them a neat appearance and ensuring that all grass is evenly cut. Lawn mowing is the most important part of lawn maintenance. Mowing keeps grass healthy and helps prevent weeds, which can otherwise overtake your yard. Regularly mowing also helps control pests like ticks and mosquitoes, as well as keeping your lawn looking good by trimming off any dead or damaged blades of grass. In the spring and summer months, mowing your lawn weekly or biweekly is essential to getting the most out of your grass. Mowing your lawn regularly is the most important thing you can do to keep it looking its best. The best time to mow your lawn is when it is dry, so you do not run the risk of damaging the grass or clogging up your mower with too much moisture in the blades. Lawn fertilization. A healthy lawn starts with healthy soil, so we use fertilizer to increase the nutrient content of your soil while also promoting growth in plants' root systems. This results in healthier plants that require less water and fertilizer over time! We recommend using an organic fertilizer such as compost or compost tea (which contains bacteria). Organic fertilizers have better nutrients for plants than chemical ones do and are safe for children and pets. Lawn fertilization refers to the application of nutrients, such as nitrogen, phosphorus and potassium. These nutrients help your grass grow strong and healthy. If you are not sure when to fertilize your lawn, there are several signs that can help you determine if it is time for some fertilizer. You should consider fertilizing if: Your grass appears thin or sparse in spots. This could be due to drought conditions or poor drainage (or both). Fertilizing will give the roots a boost so they will produce new shoots that will fill in these bare spots over time. We have just planted new sod on an area where there was no existing lawn before. Even even though it looks lush now with all those new blades poking through the soil surface after being laid down last week by our crew at Pugh's Earthworks Commercial Landscaping, we recommend applying some fertilizer within six months after laying sod down. This is because it will encourage root growth under each blade so it can support itself better against windstorms later down the road! Plus if you do not do this step then eventually those blades [...]

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 [...]

Prepare Your Commercial Property for Spring with Help from Pugh’s Earthworks

Pugh's Earthworks Spring is here, and you're itching to get outside and do some Spring Commercial Landscape Preparation! But before you start planting, there are a few important things that need to be done first. Lawns need to be mowed, weeds should be pulled, and flower beds need to be prepared. As a general rule of thumb, it's best not to plant anything directly into dirt; it's better for your plants' health if you add compost or soil amendments beforehand. This way the nutrients in the compost can work their way down into the root system before any plants go in. In this article we'll cover how to prep your flower beds for spring planting!

If you need a new flower bed installed, or an existing one repaired or maintained, please contact us today. Commercial Flower Bed Design & Installation The following are some examples of commercial flower bed designs and installations: Flower beds around a business building can be designed to accentuate the architecture or add color to an otherwise bland facade. They can also provide privacy by creating a screen between the parking lot and store front, or they can be used to create interest in an otherwise uninteresting space. Residential landscaping is often very different from commercial landscaping because homeowners have more freedom when it comes to what kinds of plants are allowed on their property. However, there are still some design principles that apply across both types of work: The goal should always be to create something beautiful without being too overwhelming (or underwhelming). The most important thing to consider when designing a flower bed is the location. You should take into account the light and shade in your yard, as well as any other features such as trees or shrubs that may already be there. Also, remember that people will be walking on top of your beds so they need to be sturdy enough to support someone’s weight. It’s also important to think about the overall feel of your yard. Are you trying to create a lush tropical paradise or a simple, clean look? This will help guide you in deciding what plants are best for your space. If you’re not sure where to [...]
