We Take Commercial Landscaping Safety Guidelines for Our Employees and Clients Seriously!

Pugh's Earthworks Working in a commercial landscaping company can be dangerous. There are lots of hazards, including heavy equipment, power tools and chemicals. If you are not careful, it is easy to get hurt. That is why it is important you to follow all Commercial Landscaping Safety Guidelines when working a job site. Commercial Landscaping Safety Guidelines Always wear protective gear. Use the right tools for the job, and make sure they are in good working order before you begin. Be aware of your surroundings at all times, especially if you are working with heavy machinery or chemicals that can be harmful to yourself or others if spilled on them. Make sure that you are physically able to perform tasks safely before attempting them; if you find yourself struggling with something, do not force it--take a break until you feel better! Never work alone--having someone else present will help ensure that everyone stays safe during their projects! When you are working on a project, take frequent breaks. It is important to rest your eyes and body so that you do not become too tired or make any mistakes due to exhaustion. If you feel yourself getting drowsy, step away from whatever it is that you are doing for a few minutes! If you are working on a project that requires you to use sharp tools or equipment, make sure to wear protective gear. This includes wearing gloves, safety goggles and other items that will keep your hands and eyes safe from injury. It is also important to wear sturdy shoes so that your feet do not get injured by anything slippery or sharp on the floor! Commercial Landscaping Safety Training You can learn from others' mistakes. It is important to understand the risks of commercial landscaping and how to avoid them, so you can develop a plan for safety. Training also helps you develop a plan for safety, which will help keep your employees safe on the job site. Employees who have been properly trained are more likely to follow proper procedures and use equipment safely, resulting in fewer injuries or fatalities related to commercial landscaping activities. Training is also important because it helps you understand OSHA regulations and other state, or local laws related to commercial landscaping. These regulations vary by location, so it is important that you know what they are before starting your business. Training will help you develop a safety plan that conforms with these requirements and keeps all of your employees safe on the job site. Benefits of Using a Safety Certified Landscaping Firm Safety is a top priority for all companies. As a business owner, you want to ensure that your employees are well trained and aware of the safety guidelines for your business. Safety training can help you do this by teaching them: The importance of having a safe working environment How to identify hazards in the workplace How to avoid dangerous situations through proper planning and preparation How to use the right [...]

We Can Assist with Fall Commercial Landscaping Preparation!

Pugh's Earthworks The beauty of fall is that it is the perfect time for a little extra pampering. The leaves are changing, the air is cooling down and you are starting to think about Fall Commercial Landscaping Preparation. It is also a great time of year to go through your landscaping and make sure it is in good shape before the cold weather hits. While many homeowners hold off on this task until after Thanksgiving when they have family over for Christmas, there are several reasons why you should consider doing some gardening right now – or at least preparing yourself for this work in the future: Pugh's Earthworks Pugh's Earthworks is a full-service commercial landscaping company that provides lawn care, snow removal and more.

Starting Fall Commercial Landscape Preparation Do you need to prune trees? If so, when and how? How should you fertilize your lawn and shrubs? 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? What is the best time to apply insecticides for control of ants and other insects? How should you control scale insects on trees and shrubs? How should you control the weeds that grow in between cracks in sidewalks and driveways? What is the best time to apply fungicides for control of powdery mildew on ornamental plants? How should you apply pesticides? Preparing Trees for Fall Prune dead or dying branches. Remove any leaves and debris from the ground beneath your trees, as these can cause erosion issues when it rains. Water trees well before the cold weather arrives, so that they have time to absorb as much water as possible before winter sets in and makes watering more difficult or even impossible for some time (depending on where you live). 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 [...]

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 [...]

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 [...]

We Build Beautiful and Functional Retaining Walls

Pugh's Earthworks Retaining Walls are an important part of any landscape. They can be used to increase the usable space on your property by creating flat levels, which is especially helpful for larger properties. Retainer walls are also a great way to contain and direct water runoff from hillsides and steep banks. If you are thinking about installing a retaining wall in your yard, it is important to make sure that it is built right so that it lasts for years to come. That is why it is so important to seek the assistance of a professional Commercial Landscaping Company like Pugh's Earthworks.  Here are some steps used for constructing a strong, long-lasting retaining wall: Use a concrete masonry unit (CMU), which is made from crushed stone and cement. This type of wall will be more expensive than an earthen retaining wall, but it will last longer and resist erosion better. If you are using an earthen wall, make sure that you use soil that is well-drained and has a good amount of organic material. Use the right mix ratio for your CMU or earthen wall; a good rule of thumb is one part cement to three parts stone (by weight). If you are using a CMU wall, make sure that the stones are graded in size so that they fit together well. A sturdy, well-constructed, and properly designed stone or concrete retaining wall will extend the life of your landscape by stopping soil erosion caused by rainwater runoff from your land. A retaining wall is a structure designed to retain soil, rock, or sand on its downhill side. Retaining walls are often used to create flat levels and prevent erosion on sloped areas. They can also be used as part of an irrigation system, directing water runoff into channels or other devices that will direct it away from buildings and plants. In addition to being functional, retaining walls add aesthetic value to any landscape design project because they serve as a boundary between different areas within the yard while also creating interesting patterns in both coloration and texture when combined with other features like plants or paving stones (if placed near sidewalks). Retaining walls are a great way to add usable space in your yard by creating a flat level area on which you can build a patio. Retaining walls come in many different styles, sizes and materials. The most common types of retaining wall are made out of stone (or concrete), brick or wood. Each type has its own advantages and disadvantages that should be considered before making a decision as to which one will work best for your project. Once again, retaining walls create flat levels, contain and direct water runoff, increase the usable space on your property and add value to your home. They can also be used as an aesthetic enhancement to any landscape design. Retaining walls are made up of concrete blocks or stone that support soil behind them. They come in many different [...]
