We Efficiently Maintain Property Entrance Container Gardens

Pugh's Earthworks Property Entrance Container Gardens make a lovely addition around HOA or Commercial Property entrances and in places where a little greenery is needed to soften and decorate. Bedding plants including annuals, perennials, small shrubs and ornamental trees make excellent mixes for container gardening. A good rule of thumb is to have a tall plant in the center and draping flora around the edges. Fill in other areas with a combination of blooming and green plants keeping in mind not to over crowd the planter and drown out some of the mix. Pugh's Earthworks creates and maintains these container gardens on some of our properties. Benefits of Property Entrance Container Gardens Container gardens at a property entrance offer numerous benefits that make them a popular landscaping choice. Unlike in-ground plantings, they can be moved and changed with the seasons or property owners' preferences, providing versatility and customization options. They allow owners to add their unique style and personality to greet guests with beautiful blooms and foliage. Curb appeal is one of the most noticeable advantages of using containers by the front door or walkway. The pops of color and texture instantly increase visual interest and make a great first impression. Studies show people value curb appeal, as it implies care has been put into the property. Container plantings are an easy way to spruce up the entry without major landscaping work. Container gardens are also one of the lowest maintenance ways to add garden interest at an entrance. The enclosed soil environment helps retain moisture longer than in the ground, reducing watering needs. Containers prevent weeds and grass from taking root like in-ground beds. There is no digging or soil amendment required. The ability to move containers allows for optimal sun exposure. For those without time for high-maintenance beds and borders, entrance container gardens are an ideal solution. The versatility and customization possible with entrance container gardens make them a great choice for expressing owners' personal styles. Mixing colors, shapes and textures allows for endless design options. Containers can be changed seasonally or rearranged anytime to keep the entryway looking fresh and inviting. They provide a simple, affordable way to try out new looks before committing to permanent in-ground plantings. For those wanting to quickly update their home's entrance, container gardens are the perfect flexible and creative solution. Choosing the Right Location When placing your property entrance container garden, consider visibility and access. Choose a spot that can be easily seen from the street to create curb appeal. Near the front entrance and walkways is ideal so it is one of the first things people notice when approaching your HOA or Business Property. Sunlight exposure is another key factor for container garden placement. Most flowering plants and vegetables need at least 6 hours of direct sunlight per day. Observe how the sunlight hits different areas of your property during the day before deciding where to position your containers. South or west facing spots are best. If needed, you can [...]

Commercial HOA Landscaping is Just One of the Many Great Services We Provide!

Pugh's Earthworks A well-maintained lawn and garden are a great way to show your customers and community that you care about the quality of life in your area. Pugh's Earthworks is expert at Commercial Landscaping, and we can help! Our professional Commercial HOA Landscaping services will make sure your backyard or front yard looks its best. HOA Landscaping Benefits As a business owner, you know that the most visible part of your property is its landscaping. Whether it is an apartment complex or office park, people will judge your company by what they see outside. Landscaping can help increase visibility for your business and attract new clients through: Increased foot traffic due to attractive aesthetics (and sometimes even smells). This can lead directly to more sales or leads as people walk through the area on their way somewhere else. Improved curb appeal that makes potential customers feel more comfortable entering the building or visiting the website online--or both! Increased real estate value for your property. This can help you sell or lease it out if you decide to move on from the space and make a profit! HOA Landscaping Certification HOA Landscaping Certification is a good way to show your customers that you are a professional, and it can also help you win more business. It is a great way to prove that you know what you are doing when it comes to landscaping, which will make clients feel more confident in hiring someone like yourself. Pugh's Earthwork is a Certified Commercial Landscaping Company. If there is one thing that we have learned from our years as a commercial HOA landscaper, it is that everyone wants something different out of their lawn care service providers. Some people want an eye-catching design; others just want their grass cut on time every week without fail; still others may be looking for something more complex like seasonal color changes or maintenance services such as fertilizing and trimming hedges throughout the year (or even tree removal). Whatever their needs happen to be--and whether those needs change over time--you need not worry because there are plenty of ways for businesses like yours (and even homeowners) alike who specialize in providing lawn care services such as mowing/trimming/weeding etc... HOA Landscaping benefits include: Increased property values and reduced maintenance costs. In a recent study, homebuyers were asked what they value most in a home. The top response was "good schools" followed by "low crime rate," and then "nice landscaping." Homeowners with well-maintained lawns, in well-maintained neighborhoods, are likely to sell their houses for higher prices than those whose yards are neglected or poorly maintained. HOA Landscaping also saves homeowners money by using one company throughout the entire neighborhood instead of having each homeowner hire separate lawn companies for each house. Pugh's Earthworks HOA Lawn Maintenance Maintain the lawns on a regular basis. Mower blades should be at least 3 inches off the ground, and you should cut your grass when it is dry. Always mow in the [...]

We are a Premiere Mid-South Commercial Landscaping Company and Provide Free Estimates for Snow and Ice Removal!

Pugh's Earthworks Snow and Ice Removal is one of the most important services for commercial properties. Without it, you risk losing customers and even incurring damage to your building. Fortunately, Pugh's Earthworks is not only the premiere Mid-South Commercial Landscaping Company, but they also provide snow and ice services. Here are some things to consider when hiring a company: Commercial property snow removal Commercial property snow removal is a service that many companies provide. Unlike Pugh's Earthworks, not many landscape companies offer it. When heavy snow is present, snow removal companies use heavy machinery to remove the snow from your commercial property, including entrances, exits and parking lots. This is very important during the winter months so that you and your customers can safely arrive and leave. Commercial property ice removal You may be wondering what the best way to remove ice is. There are several techniques, one including using a scraper or snow shovel to remove any excess snow and ice from the surface of your commercial property. If you have an area with a lot of ice on it, use heat lamps or other methods of melting the ice before attempting to remove it manually. Another preferred method to treat ice is to wait and throw ice melt out until the ground starts freezing over. This can be done through professional snow/ice services such as those offered by Pugh's Earthworks. Snow removal service Snow removal services are a smart investment for commercial property owners. Snow removal companies have the equipment, experience, and manpower to get your commercial property areas cleared of snow and ice as soon as it starts. If you decide that hiring a commercial property snow removal company is right for your situation, do some research to make sure they have experience working on large areas like parks and parking lots. These types of properties typically require special equipment not found in residential settings (such as heaters). Ice Removal Service Ice removal is the process of removing ice from surfaces, such as sidewalks, parking lots, and streets. Ice can be very dangerous and cause serious accidents if not treated properly. The equipment used for ice removal varies depending on where you live (how often your area gets snow) and the size of the area to be serviced. Here are some examples of items used to remove snow: Shovels - Shovels are used for moving small to moderate amounts of snow or ice away from walkways and entrances, basically anywhere someone might walk. It is wise to keep one or two spare shovels around in case the one you are using breaks. Equipment - If you choose to hire a professional company, make sure that they have experience safely operating snow removal equipment and working in cold temperatures. Most companies have snow plowing equipment that is only used during heavy snow or when trying to service a large area. The dangers of property ice Ice, if not dealt with properly, can cause serious injury. Slippery surfaces are [...]

We Are the Mid-South Premiere Commercial Landscaping Company for HOA and COA Landscaping

Pugh's Earthworks Your neighborhood Homeowners or Condominium Owners Association is a great resource for landscaping ideas and tips. HOA and COA Commercial Landscaping is a service provided by Pugh's Earthworks and we have many satisfied clients. Below are some of our many areas of expertise that keep our HOA and COA clients' properties and front entrances looking pristine. Plantings Landscaping can be a great way to add color and texture to your property. Plantings can be used as a way to soften hardscapes, such as curbs or retaining walls. They can also serve as an excellent means of adding privacy by blocking views into your yard from neighboring properties. Lawns Lawns are a great way to add value to your home. They can also be used as part of your landscaping and outdoor living space. As the name suggests, lawns are used for growing grass on which people play games such as football or soccer. Lawns can be installed in front yards or backyards depending on how much space you have available at home. They look beautiful when they're well maintained but they need regular maintenance work done by professional landscape designers who know how best maintain them so that they look good all year round Curbs, Gutters and Steps You may not be aware, but the curb and gutter are actually important for drainage. They help to direct water away from your house and into the storm drain. Curbs can also be used as a way of separating the sidewalk from the road. This is important because it helps pedestrians avoid getting hit by cars as they walk along their route and also helps drivers see where they should be driving so that they don't accidentally hit someone on foot or bicycle that's in front of their vehicle. Gutters are generally made out of metal or plastic (though some are made out of stone) and have sloped sides so that rainwater flows down them into catch basins at either end before heading into underground pipes which carry away excess water runoff during storms or heavy rains." Retaining Walls Retaining walls are used to hold back earth from a slope. They are often used to create a level area for a patio or deck, and can be built from stone, brick, concrete and other materials. Retaining walls can be built using a variety of techniques: dry-stack (with no mortar); mortared; block-and-stucco style with stucco applied over top of blocks; or stacked stone where each layer overlaps the previous one by at least 6 inches. Drainage Systems Drainage systems are an important part of any landscaping project. Drainage systems allow water to flow away from your property, keeping it healthy, safe and dry. They also help keep the area around your home clean by preventing mud puddles from forming on the surface of your lawn or driveway. Drainage systems can be installed in several different ways depending on their size and complexity. The most basic form of drainage system consists of [...]

Our team has over 30 years of experience in commercial and residential landscaping, so we know how to maintain your cemetery beautifully year-round. If your cemetery needs some TLC or if it's time for some updates on the grounds, call us today. Cemetery Pathways Cemetery pathways are an important part of the cemetery landscape. 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 Applies Mulch to Protect Shrubs and Trees During Winter

Pugh's Earthworks Pugh's Earthworks is the most trusted Mid-South Commercial Landscaping Business. With offices in Memphis, Nashville, Jackson TN, Littlerock and Southaven MS, we keep all types of Commercial Properties in tip top shape.  Now that we are into fall and looking ahead to winter, it is that time of year where temperatures start to decrease and eventually will dip well below freezing. For many plants and flowers, those frigid conditions can lead to damage unless they get an extra layer of protection. That is where the Pugh's Earthworks team introduces mulch as part of regular fall landscape maintenance services. In fact, mulching serves as one of the best blanket covers for things like strawberries, some perennials, and many other types of plants during cold conditions. Winter mulch helps stop soil from either freezing or thawing conditions. It is the repeated freezing and thawing that can force stems, roots, and bulbs/tubers to come out of the ground. Plus, this can severely damage or kill plants. Mid-South Commercial Landscaping Business There are different types of mulch to consider. Straw is one type. The benefits are that straw offers good insulation, encourages sufficient air movement, and does not smother plants or flowers. Just one bale of straw can cover 100 square feet to a depth of at least three inches. Other types of winter mulches to consider include bark chips, hay, chopped corn stalks, pine needles, or shredded leaves. Those mulches to avoid include whole leaves, sawdust, or grass clippings because they can form a thick mat and suffocate the flowers and plants. Wood chip mulch is ideal for the root zone areas of trees and shrubs. However, plants like hardy shrub roses don't need any winter protection like mulch. Yet, other types of rose plants may need a double layer of protection in the form of mulch and potting soil. Leave the mulching to us. Contact us today for a monthly service plan that includes mulching for the winter of all your commercial landscape areas. We can ensure your plants, flowers, and shrubs make it through the winter while keeping a beautiful view for your customers.

Pugh’s Earthworks is a Premier, Reliable and Trusted Commercial Landscaping Firm

Pugh's Earthworks Pugh's Earthworks is a premier, reliable and trusted Commercial Landscaping Firm in the Mid- South. Our major markets include Memphis, Nashville, Jackson TN, Littlerock and Southaven MS. We provide a wide range of Commercial Landscaping services all backed by our 100% customer satisfaction guarantee. When you trust your valuable commercial property to Pugh's Earthworks, you will be in the best position to keep your property looking pristine and staying healthy. We have customers with all types of landscapes and terrains. We service Hospitals, Cemetaries, Retail Shopping Centers, Industrial Properties and Office Complexes to name a few so you can image that each one offers unique challenges. Properties with steep terrains often require that our team build retaining walls to prevent the erosion of the lawn or flower beds. Some of the markets Pugh's Earthworks serves are hilly for example Littlerock and Memphis. There are several steps involved in building a retaining wall. The Pugh's Earthworks team is trained to build and to repair existing retaining walls. The typical steps involved to build a retaining wall typically include most of the following key steps and processes: Prepare a Trench - This is step one of the critical steps. In order to have a blueprint of where to dig, the area must be staked and marked with a Mason's Line. Add Drainage - Pugh's will use the proper drainpipe to allow for water to flow around the wall. Improper drainage will cause water to collect behind the wall which over time will cause it to weaken. Begin the Construction - The base blocks will be installed correctly so that as the wall is built it should have a natural lean into the hill and not lean away from the hill. Install Landscaping - This may not seem like a mission critical step, but actually it is very important. A major concern is the size of the plant or small tree. Depending on the variety, Pugh's Earthworks will know the proper planting distance from the wall to prevent the roots causing any damage to the wall's structural soundness. Existing Retaining Walls that have weakened over time need to be addressed as well. The Pugh's team is skilled at making repairs to holes in mortar, loose bricks, damaged drainage and other times of obvious problems.
