We Are Your Commercial Landscaping Experts for Drainage Installation and Maintenance!

Pugh's Earthworks It has been a wetter summer in many parts of the country. This brings to light the importance of Landscape Drainage. When it comes to landscaping, most people think about things like how the property looks or what kind of plants will grow there. But the drainage system is just as important for commercial landscapes as it is for residential ones. Without proper drainage, your commercial property could end up with standing water and mud puddles that damage structures and cars when vehicles drive through them. We all know that water is extremely important for life and living. Water is the most important substance on Earth. It is essential to life and living, and it is what makes up more than 70% of the Earth's surface. Water is also a natural resource that humans have been using since they first started living together in communities. Water has many uses: it can be used for drinking, cooking food and bathing; it can be used as a transportation medium (for example boats); or it can be used as an energy source (for example hydroelectricity). Water plays a critical role in ecosystems because it provides habitat for plants and animals as well as nutrients for them to grow on; without adequate amounts of water available within an ecosystem there will not be enough food available for any species within that ecosystem which could lead them towards extinction if left unchecked over time due lack sufficient resources needed survive long term." It is also crucial for many commercial landscapes to have good drainage. Drainage systems can prevent water damage to buildings and other structures, as well as improve the health of your landscape. The best way to prevent this type of damage is by installing a system that takes excess water away from your property before it has a chance to pool up on your land or in puddles at its edges. Drainage systems are essential because they help prevent flooding during heavy rains and keep puddles from forming after heavy downpours. This means that you won't have any issues with mold growth or mildew since there will not be any standing pools of water left behind after every storm cycle passes through town! Drainage systems can also help prevent ice from forming on the ground during the winter. This is especially important for commercial properties that are located in colder climates or those with high traffic areas like parking lots and driveways. Large commercial landscapes need drainage systems that are designed to improve the health of the landscape and prevent water from damaging buildings, cars or other structures. A drainage system is designed to prevent water from damaging buildings, cars or other structures. A properly designed and installed drainage system will also improve the health of your landscape by preventing standing water from collecting in low areas and fostering healthy root growth. Drainage systems are often constructed using perforated pipes that carry excess water away from high traffic areas. In order [...]

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 [...]

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 [...]

Below is an article written by a member of that organization regarding water conservation efforts in CA. Earlier this year, the State Water Resources Control Board voted unanimously to implement a statewide ban on the watering of nonfunctional turf in the commercial, industrial and institutional sectors in California that runs for one year. The board also put regulations in place requiring local agencies to implement water use restrictions as water supplies may be up to 20 percent lower due to extreme drought. In a webinar hosted on June 6 by the California Landscape Contractors Association, the Irrigation Association, NALP and Maureen Erbeznik & Associates, Warren Gorowitz with Hunter Industries, Peter Estournes with Gardenworks Inc. and Maureen Erbeznik discussed the nature of the restrictions and the options available to landscape professionals. Erbeznik explains that nonfunctional turf refers to areas that are solely ornamental. If the turf is used for recreational purposes or community events, then it is considered functional. Exemptions to the ban include spaces that use non-potable water for irrigation or areas with trees. The ban does not apply to residential yards. Stay on Top of Local Regulations Local retail water agencies can expand regulations at their discretion to places like multi-family housing, golf courses, cemeteries and subsurface irrigation. With more than 400 water agencies in the state, the fluidity of restrictions and regulations will vary on each area’s water situation. [...]
