Customers Receive Efficient Snow and Ice Treatment Services from Pugh’s Earthworks

Pugh's Earthworks Winter is a tough season for all of us, but it is especially difficult for those who live in warmer climates. Although wintertime can be quite beautiful, it can also be dangerous if you are not prepared for the cold weather and snowfall that comes with it. One way to prepare yourself and your business for the snow and ice is by having a professional service plan in place. At Pugh's Earthworks, we specialize in providing companies with customized plans for Ice and Snow Treatment that meet their needs while maintaining safety standards. Our goal is always to help businesses get through every winter as smoothly as possible! Here are some questions we hear often about our snow removal services: How do you remove snow and ice from your parking lot? What do you use to remove snow and ice from the roads around your business? Do you use salt or sand? How often do you apply the chemicals? I would like to know if there is a way that I can help reduce my costs because right now, it's really high? I would also like to know if there are any chemicals that I can use that will help me save money? If you have a large commercial property, it can be difficult to keep up with the amount of snowfall during winter months. This is why it's so important to use services that offer snow removal in order to ensure that your customers' access to their cars is not hindered by dangerous amounts of ice on the ground. There are many different types of companies out there offering these kinds of services; however, it's important for businesses owners like yourself not only consider what kind of job they do but also how much they charge for their services as well! Do you want to remove snow and ice from the sidewalks in front of your business? As the owner of a business, you may be wondering if you are responsible for clearing snow and ice from the sidewalks in front of your business. The answer is yes! In most cases, local municipalities require property owners to remove snow and ice from their properties within 24 hours after it stops falling. Failure to comply with this requirement can result in hefty fines ranging from $50-$500 per day (depending on where you live). There are many tools available for removing snow and ice from sidewalks including shovels, electric snow blowers, salt spreaders and more advanced machinery such as rotary floor scrapers which have been designed specifically for this purpose. Depending on what type of equipment you have access too will determine which method works best but no matter what method(s) used always remember safety first! Keep in mind that the requirements for snow removal may vary depending on where you live. For example, some municipalities require property owners to remove snow and ice within 24 hours while others allow 48 hours or more. Do you have a plan [...]

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 [...]

Protect Your Trees from the Cold Winter with the Help of Pugh’s Earthworks

Pugh's Earthworks Pugh's Earthworks is a top tier Commercial Landscape Company in the Mid-South. Our home office is Memphis, and we have other offices in Nashville, Jackson TN, Littlerock and Southaven MS. We have many satisfied customers as our mission is to make the customer's needs, the top priority. It is not too soon to start thinking about cold weather proofing your commercial property. This includes valuable trees. These are expensive to replace and take years to grow. Unlike humans or wildlife, trees are stationary. There is no place for them to go to get warm. Nature did provide them with the ability to shed leaves. This allows them to require less water. Then nature does allow them to go through some cell changes but at the end of the day, they count on humans to take care of them. That is where a professional and certified landscape technician can assist. Pugh's Earthworks employs a talented team of experienced and certified landscape technicians. Below are some of the important steps our team will address to protect your trees: Root Protection - Watering is a crucial step. Prior to first ground freeze, our team will be sure that ample water is applied around the tree soil. After the ground freezes, it is not necessary to water and the water applied prior to the freeze allows the tree to absorb and retain lots of moisture. The second step is to mulch around the tree. Roots can be damaged if temperatures drop to low like 15 degrees Fahrenheit for example. Pugh's Earthworks will apply mulch where needed. In addition, during the sidewalk and road clearing process for deicing, they will take extra precautions to ensure road salt does not get into the area that could be absorbed by the tree roots. Salt is bad for the roots and if absorbed into the trees structure can severely stunt the tree or kill it. Wrap the Trunk - A unique problem is something called sunscald. This occurs when the daytime temperature is warm, but the nighttime temperature is freezing or below. This can cause damage to the tissue of the tree. Pugh's Earthworks will use a special commercial grade plastic tree guard wrap to protect your trees from sunscald. Another benefit of the wrap is that it keeps deer from damaging the tree trunk when they use it to smooth their antlers. There are lots of deer in the markets Pugh's serves. Pruning - Late Fall and Winter is a great time to prune trees. One thing you do not want is for ice to build up on weak or damaged limbs. They will surely snap under the weight of the ice and that can cause damage to the tree. The Pugh's Earthworks team will carefully examine each tree on your property and remove dead or weak branches that could be problematic during the harsh cold winter.   Shop Now for Gallery of Services     Pugh’s Earthworks is strongly committed to [...]

Pugh’s helps customers properly Winterize Commercial Properties

Pugh's Earthworks Winterize Commercial Properties The recent winter storm that just impacted much of the US, brings to light the need to Winterize Commercial Properties. Pugh's Earthworks has well trained and certified Commercial Landscape Technicians that can help with that. We will inspect every aspect of your property in terms of protection from icy conditions. Winterizing is not just for home residents but is equally as important for business owners. Consequently, many of the same issues need to be addressed in a similar fashion. For instance, below are some of the things that need to be part of the process. Winterize Commercial Properties: Similarly, to a personal residence, the heating system of a commercial building needs to be in safe and proper working order. The Pugh's Earthworks professionals will be able to assess the functionality. In addition, we will recommend further HVAC assistance if deemed necessary. Cold air can slip through cracks in window and door seals. We can examine all areas and determine if maintenance is required to keep the cold air out. In the same vein, this can be a large energy cost savings to the business. Not all but some Commercial buildings have a fireplace. Pugh's will examine the fireplace and determine if it is working properly or might need some maintenance. Proper gutter functionality is critical to facilitate water drainage. Therefore, if gutters are clogged with leaves or other debris, the Pugh's team will clean the gutters. Water needs to project away from your building and be allowed to collect. The condition of a roof is critical to a Commercial building just as it is to a home residence. Our team will examine the condition of your roof and note any issues that appear to need immediate attention. Sprinklers, Pruning and Lighting Irrigation systems for Commercial Properties are critical especially during the hot and dry summer months. However, during the icy winter, if they are leaking, they can be destructive to the building and a danger to employees and customers. Pugh's will examine all sprinklers to be sure they are properly winterized. One of the biggest problems in frigid temperatures is ice causing power outages. Many times, it is caused by tree limbs that fall on power lines due to the heavy weight of the ice buildup. As part of the regular Pugh's Earthworks Commercial Landscape service contract, pruning is a year-round service. If we find that we need to prune addition limbs prior to ice storms, we will address that proactively. Pugh's Earthworks can also install additional outdoor lighting during wintery conditions. Additional lighting will make it safer for any employees that may work later.     Pugh's Earthworks Sprinkler Systems   Pugh’s Earthworks has been providing commercial landscaping services since 1992.
