Pond Construction and Maintenance

Pugh's Earthworks Pugh's Earthworks offers a variety of Pond Construction and Maintenance Services. We have been working in the industry for over 30 years now and have helped many clients like you who wanted quality work done at a fair price. Our services are also available for commercial properties, hospitals, schools and other places where their ponds need proper maintenance. The popularity of commercial property ponds has increased significantly in recent years, as property have become more aware of the benefits they provide. Residential ponds are usually smaller than those found on commercial properties and are often created by landscapers or homeowners who want to add a special touch to their landscape. These types of ponds generally require less maintenance because they are not used as heavily, but they still need regular attention so that they continue functioning properly. Commercial aeration systems should be installed at all times if your business has a pond on its premises; this will keep it clean and prevent algae growth from occurring over time! If you are interested in learning more about how we can help keep your property clean year-round--and ensure its longevity--call us today! Commercial ponds are often larger than those found at residential properties and require a more thorough maintenance schedule. This is because they are exposed to heavier traffic and more wear-and-tear than their smaller counterparts, which can cause them to accumulate debris over time. The presence of algae can be especially problematic in large ponds or lakes because it makes the water cloudy and discolored; if left unattended for too long, it may even pose a safety risk! Commercial Aeration Systems Aeration is the process of introducing air into water. The goal is to increase the amount of dissolved oxygen in your pond, which improves its health and helps prevent fish from dying from lack of oxygen (hypoxia). Commercial aeration systems are designed for large ponds that need more than one skimmer unit or submersible pump to keep them healthy and clean. They're often used in koi ponds, which can hold thousands or even millions of gallons of water; however, if you have a smaller backyard pond that doesn't require this much attention--say 100 square feet or less--you can still benefit from using an aerator on occasion to boost its overall health. Benefits include: Reduced water temperature. Stabilized oxygen levels (ponds without aeration can become stagnant) Prevention of fish disease and death from hypoxia. Reduced algae growth. Improved water clarity (including the removal of green water). Ponds have become a popular way to add value, beauty and interest to commercial properties. Not only can ponds be used as water features, but they also provide an opportunity for fishing or other recreational activities. In addition to these benefits, ponds can be used to control noise and improve air quality around your commercial property. Ponds can be used for a variety of purposes. They are often used as water features, but they can also serve as a place to fish or [...]

Let Our Team Handle Fall Flower Bed Mulching and Complete Commercial Landscaping Service

Mulching is an important part of your fall gardening, and it can be done in a variety of ways. You can choose manual or mechanical methods, or even hire Pugh's Earthworks Commercial Landscaping to help you with all your landscaping needs. Mulching helps retain moisture and prevent weeds from growing up through the soil. If you are doing this yourself, start by removing old mulch from around your plants before adding new material on top of them (you may need some tools for this). Then spread out about two inches worth into each bed--more if you have larger plants--and work it into place so there are not any big clumps left behind by hand or tiller tool alike! When we are done, you will be able to see exactly where your plants are and how much space they take up. If you want them a little closer together or farther apart, simply move their location accordingly before adding more mulch around the base of each one. The next step is to keep your plants watered.

What type of weed killer should you use on your lawns and shrubs in the fall? When should preemergence herbicides be applied for control of crabgrass, foxtails and other weeds that germinate in spring (as opposed to summer)? Are there any insects that need spraying now that would not have been around earlier in the season (e.g., spider mites)? Are there any pests (e.g., aphids, leafhoppers) that need spraying now that would not have been around earlier in the season?

Watering trees in the fall will help them to absorb as much water as possible before [...]

We Employ Talented and Certified Landscape Technicians!

Pugh's Earthworks Pugh's Earthworks is the premiere Certified Commercial Landscaping Company in the Mid-South Region. Our major markets include Memphis, Jackson TN, Nashville, Southaven MS, and Little Rock AR. We employ professional and certified landscape technicians. Certified and Professional Landscape Technicians Introduction Landscape technicians are professionals who are trained in landscaping and can be certified or non-certified. A certification has a higher level of education and training, while a professional landscaper is usually working on his/her own as a business owner rather than an employee. Both certified and professional landscape technicians have the experience necessary to provide you with quality work at an affordable price. Certified landscape technicians have passed a test to prove their knowledge, and they have a credential to show for it. This means that you can be more confident in the quality of service provided by certified technicians. Certified professionals follow best practices, so you can expect them to use products that are safe for your family or pets and don't cause any damage to plants or other parts of your property. The importance of a certified or professional landscape technician Certification is a way for you to show that you have the skills, education and experience needed to do your job well. Landscape technicians are required by law in some states to be certified or licensed. In addition to this, certification shows potential customers that you're qualified and able to perform your work safely and efficiently. Skills for landscape technicians Landscape technicians can be certified or professional. A certified technician has passed an exam and is allowed to use the CSLT designation on their business cards, letterhead, and other marketing materials. A professional landscape technician has not yet taken the exam but is working toward it by completing education requirements and working under the supervision of a certified landscape technician for five years or more. Professional certification involves taking both a written and practical test that covers plant identification; soils management; construction practices; maintenance techniques; design principles (including drafting); irrigation systems; fertilization methods; pest control methods; equipment use/operation safety procedures including safe storage of chemicals used in your work environment. The NALPTS offers a wide range of classes and certification programs in landscape management, design, maintenance, welding, and more. They are committed to providing the highest level of education and training possible while maintaining their reputation as an industry leader. Education for landscape technicians The education for a landscape technician varies from employer to employer. Some employers require that you have a degree in landscape technology or horticulture, while others will accept applicants with a certificate in landscaping. In some cases, an applicant may be hired with only on-the-job training and experience as their credentials. The requirements are determined by the company's needs as well as what type of tools and equipment they use on site. For example, if you are applying for an entry level position with little to no experience required then it is likely that your educational background is not going to [...]

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 [...]

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 [...]
