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! Pugh's Earthworks Spring Commercial Landscape Preparation Pugh's Earthworks is a commercial landscaping company located in the Memphis area. We have been designing and installing commercial flower beds for over 30 years and have a great reputation in the community. We are recognized as a premiere Commercial Landscaping Firm in the Mid-South Region. with offices in Memphis, Nashville, Jackson, Littlerock and Southaven, we service many businesses. Pugh's Earthworks offers many services including: Designing custom flower beds for businesses and municipalities Building new flower beds from scratch or repairing existing ones Installing new plants or replacing old ones with healthier versions of the same plant Purchasing new plants from local nurseries and having them installed in our flower beds We also offer maintenance services for all of your commercial or residential landscaping needs. 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 [...]

Speak with a Pugh’s Earthworks Professional When Shopping for a Top Commerical Landscaping Firm

Pugh's Earthworks Pugh's Earthworks is a Top Commercial Landscaping Firm in Memphis, TN. We have many offerings to our clients, including Commercial Landscaping, Landscape Design, Water Features, Outdoor Lighting, Irrigation Systems and Retaining Walls Installation. Our team of professionals will work with you to create an outdoor space that meets all of your needs and fits within your budget. Commercial Landscaping Commercial landscaping is the installation of plants and other materials in a manner that is aesthetically pleasing, functional, and practical. This type of landscaping can be used to increase property value by creating an attractive environment for customers and employees alike. Commercial landscaping can also help save money on heating costs by providing shade during hot summer months or insulation against cold winter winds. It is important to note that not all companies involved with commercial landscaping are the same; some specialize in specific areas such as irrigation systems or tree trimming while others offer full-service packages including everything from tree planting to mulching removal services at one low price per month. Landscape Design Landscape design is the process of planning, designing and implementing a landscape. Landscape designers create outdoor spaces that are aesthetically pleasing, functional and sustainable. Landscape design is a creative process that integrates horticulture and design principles to create outdoor spaces that respond to their setting while also addressing client needs. It involves site analysis, research into available resources (including climate), observation of existing conditions on-site as well as off-site research into similar projects elsewhere in order to inform your vision for this particular project. A good designer should consider all aspects of sustainability when designing your space such as using native plants where possible; sourcing materials locally if at all possible; reducing energy consumption through passive solar gain or other means such as rainwater harvesting systems; incorporating rain gardens into existing lawn areas so they do not have to be irrigated during drought seasons. Top Commercial Landscaping Firm Water Features Water features are another great way to create a relaxing environment, and they can also be used to create a focal point in the landscape. A water feature can filter rainwater, helping it to infiltrate into the soil where it will benefit plants instead of running off into rivers or storm drains. A water feature can make a statement by itself; however, if you have limited space and budget for an elaborate design then consider using only part of the idea: perhaps just adding some pots with plants around your existing pond or installing an outdoor fountain near your front door so people see it when they arrive at your home. Outdoor Lighting Use lighting to highlight certain features of your landscape, create a dramatic effect or create an outdoor dining experience. Lighting can be used to highlight certain features of the landscape, such as trees and plants. This will make them appear more prominent in relation to other areas of the garden and help visitors understand what you want them to notice first when they enter your [...]

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.

Hire Pugh’s Earthworks to Maximize the Efficiency of Summer Watering

Pugh's Earthworks has Operations in Tennessee, Arkansas and Mississippi Many parts of the country including the Mid-South, have had a very cool and wet May. However, it will not be long until the dry hot weather makes it critical to practice effective Summer Watering. Pugh's Earthworks is one of the largest commercial landscape design, installation and maintenance firms in the Mid-South area. Our clients include some of the premier office buildings, hotels, hospitals, churches and cemeteries in the cities we operate. In addition to the commercial customers we serve, we also provide landscape services for Homeowners Associations (HOAs), Condo Owners Associations (COA’s) and individual residential homeowners. A properly designed Commercial Landscape Sprinkler system, like the ones designed and installed by the Pugh's Earthworks Certified Landscape Technicians, will ensure that the lawn and plants on your property receive the exact amount of water during the summer. Protecting these plants is important as it is expensive to replace them. During the summer months, the hot weather and intense sunlight are tough for summer plants and lawns to take. That is why we often refresh both with extra water. However, there is still a need to water wisely during these hot months to be careful with water and get the maximum impact from your watering without wasting any of this precious resource. Below are some tips on how to water wisely to use less water as well as give your plants and lawn just the right amount: Water weekly: Pick one day a week to water your lawn and plants, preferably a time in the morning or evening where the sun and heat won't evaporate it too quickly. You may need to adjust it should there be summer thunderstorms or if you notice a better time where the water sticks around. Water deeply: Before you overwater, it's important to understand what this means and how much deeply involves. Check the soil and see if water has permeated the top six inches of clay soil or eight to 12 inches if you have loamy soil. Make sure the water is not stagnating on the top as this could mean your soil is compacted and it may lead to plant rot. Think long, soaking rain rather than many several quick sprinkles. Water when plants are ready: Plants will tell you when they are thirsty. Leaves will wilt or droop. The leaves may also yellow, curl up, or drop off. That means they really could use some water. Water in the morning: By focusing your plant and lawn watering on this point in the day, it gives the plants and lawn a way to fill up on water they can use throughout the day. Water plants when they need it: Besides when they are thirsty, there are other times where a plant or lawn may most need water. This includes giving more water to baby seedlings and transplants to help them because their root systems are not yet developed and acclimated to the soil.  Another group of plants that need water [...]

Contact Pugh’s Earthworks for Commercial Property Flower Bed Design

Pugh's Earthworks Commercial Property Flower Bed Design   Flower beds provide a beautiful and eye-catching feature to any commercial or residential garden. With a burst of color, these beautiful floral displays can provide enjoyment the entire year-round. However, flowers tend to provide that beauty on a seasonal basis. Even though it is winter, it is still a good time to consider Commercial Property Flower Bed Design. Hiring the professionals at Pugh's Earthworks is the best place to start. Our team will get to work designing the flower beds for property functionality and appearance. The first step is to clean out the existing flower bed.  Remove old perennials, weeds, and any debris. Think of it as a clean slate so you can start again with seasonal blooms. This may be a good time to change the shape of your flower bed. Rather than going with that traditional rectangular look, why not add some curves to it by drawing out new lines with the soil? Now, it's time to add new soil to your flower bed. Dig up rocks, roots, and any debris before putting a layer of garden-specific soil. It should be about six inches deep. You can also add compost and leaf mold. This will boost soil nutrition. Let your flower bed settle for 30 to 60 days before planting. Work with your local garden center on the ideal flowers for this time of year. Once you have an idea of what works, then you can select the colors and varieties to use that will fit your space and garden style. This is where you can be creative. As you plant the flowers in the bed, be sure to add enough water to make puddles under each flower. Add a thin layer of mulch. This will help prevent weeds and allow the soil to retain moisture even during the hot summer ahead. Commercial Property Flower Bed Design In addition, the above items are things the Pugh's Earthworks team will deal with. Furthermore, below are some broad range considerations for your property that we can discuss with you. Brand Recognition is something that every company focuses on. It makes sense that when you are planting flowers, matching those colors to your company logo would be beneficial. Pugh's Earthworks will know the best plants and flowers to plant so as to accomplish this. Matching the Architecture of your building is important. After all, you have made a huge investment in the office complex. It only makes sense to create a flower bed that compliments your property. Again, the professionals at Pugh's Earthworks will know the exact combination of flowers and the style of the flower bed needed. We will use Native plants that flourish in the soil and climate of the region. Flower Beds can also assist with directing customers. Properly positioned to enhance signage will help to keep customers on the right path. In conclusion, Flower Beds that are properly designed and maintained will enhance your property's value and demonstrate your company's commitment to [...]

Second, think about how people will engage with your business and how you can offer them spaces to stay longer. This is especially important if you are a retail business. Adding amenities like benches, chairs, tables, and other outdoor spaces that invite them to remain on your property. Commercial Landscape Design Next, you will need to think about where and how people approach your business. Use natural objects like trees and shrubs to line the path that takes them straight to your company's front door. Then, it is important to create an attractive space with your landscape that is tidy, offers shade, or provides a refreshing feel. It will make people want to come there rather than turn them away. Finally, consider your architecture and how your commercial landscape should coordinate with that look. You will need to look at color, texture, shape, and style. Overall, another important consideration for commercial landscape is how you can conserve water and energy through your design.  For example, if you add a green roof to your building helps with controlling water run-off as well as lowers heating and cooling costs.
