Hotel Commercial Landscaping Hotel commercial landscaping is the process of designing and maintaining a hotel property. Hotel landscaping can add value to your hotel property, but it's also important to consider how it will affect your guests' experience. Hotel commercial landscaping involves keeping the grounds clean, neat and attractive so that guests feel welcome when they arrive at your establishment. You may want to consider adding features like pathways or benches so that people have somewhere comfortable to sit while they wait for their ride home after spending time at one of your facilities (like a pool). Hotel commercial landscaping can help to make your property stand out from other hotels in your area. It's also important to consider how it will affect the overall experience of your guests.

Well, this is the perfect place to start. Flower beds can be used in many different ways around hotels and other buildings. They can improve the look of your hotel, help grow vegetables and herbs, or even fruit! The best thing about flower beds is that they are easy to maintain and make a great addition to any property. You can use them indoors or outdoors, depending on the type of plant you want to grow. Hotel Flowers Installation When it comes to hotel landscaping, flowers play an important role. Flowers can be used to add color, texture and fragrance to the grounds of your hotel. The type of flowers you choose will depend on what season they're planted in, as well as what type of soil you're using. If you have sandy soil, then annuals might not grow very well but perennials can be very successful in this environment. Perennials are plants that come back every year from their roots or bulbs while annuals die off after one season with no chance for re-growth the following year unless you plant new seeds each springtime. If you're planting perennials, it's important to choose the right type of soil and location for them. Most perennials need well-drained soil that is high in organic matter. Hotel Tree Installation When it comes to hotel landscaping, trees are one of the [...]

Hire Pugh’s Earthworks and ensure your valuable Trees are protected throughout the Winter

Pugh's Earthworks Winter Tree Care Winter Tree Care is an important component of any commercial landscaping year round program. Trees are a valuable asset and expensive to replace. Not only do trees provide shade during the hot temperatures of summer but they also add beauty to commercial properties. The Certified Commercial Landscape Technicians at Pugh's Earthworks are trained in all aspects of commercial landscaping which includes knowledge of tree care. It is some times common for people to get complacent when trees and grasses are dormant. The problem is that during these harsh cold temperatures, there is still a need for attention and care. Some of the steps the Pugh's Earthworks professionals will take to ensure their customers trees remain healthy are below: Winter Tree Care Deep Watering During the Winter months the tree roots are still growing deeper. They are on a continual journey search for water and nutrients to sustain the tree above the ground. However, if there is a shortage of water, the roots can become less able to continue their growth. At Pugh's Earthworks, our staff will continue to assess the soil conditions through the Winter. If it appears there is a shortage of natural moisture, they will take steps to start a deep watering program. Winter Tree Care Mulching It is common knowledge, for the most part, that mulching carries with it many healthy plant benefits. Therefore, properly applied mulch is something the Pugh's Earthworks team will focus on. Consequently, the trees of our commercial property owners will reap the benefit of retained moisture and countless nutrient. Tree Pruning Pugh's Earthworks is very talented at making commercial landscapes standout. One practice that is always top of mind is proper tree pruning. When trees are pruned during the summer growth months, there is danger in bug and fungus infestations. This is because the limbs are full of sap supporting the summer time upward growth of the tree. The best time to prune trees is during the dormant season like late Fall and Winter. There is far less chance of disease and tree damage during this time. Tree Protection Older more mature trees have developed a thick sturdy trunk. They are able to with stand harsh temperature and strong winds. However, younger trees that were recently planted are not as equipped to handle harsh condition. The professionals at Pugh's Earthworks know when a tree needs to have the extra protection provided by burlap trunk wrapping and more frequent deep watering. Pugh's Earthworks is not only a company that prides itself with superior customer service. That is to say, service which in fact is backed by a satisfaction guarantee. They also take great pride and see value in participating as a member of numerous industry groups related to their business. One such group is The Apartment Association of Greater Memphis. Below is a information regarding who makes up this The Apartment Association of Greater Memphis was chartered in 2004. The purpose [...]

Trust all of your commercial landscape tree planting to the professionals at Pugh’s Earthworks

Pugh's Earthworks Planting trees is always a major part of creating an attractive commercial landscape. However, if trees are not planted correctly, problems may arise. Selection of the proper tree is critical as you may want shade trees or you may want decorative trees or both. The certified landscape professionals at Pugh's Earthworks are trained on all facets of proper tree planting. It is pretty common knowledge that trees like other certain shrubs and grass are dormant during the winter. This is when the root growing season is at its best. Conversely in the summer, the foliage above ground is in full growth mode. Thus planting trees during the fall or early spring makes for a healthier tree and one that can withstand the high summer heat. Though you may want to plant the whole year round to keep your landscape looking beautiful, the weather is always a factor to consider that may stop you from doing so. That is because temperature extremes like severely cold or extremely hot are difficult for a new planting to handle. After all, they are just trying to take root and may be in shock with their new surroundings. Yes, plants, trees, and shrubs can undergo stress when placed in extreme conditions like excessive heat that occurs in the middle of summer. The heat can interfere with proper root development, causing the trees and shrubs to die. While you should avoid it, there are some ways to still do some planting in the middle of summer. First, do your planting in the evening and then water new plants after planting. You can also opt to do the planting on cloudy days. Then, use water bags and irrigation systems to ensure they have enough water so their roots can thrive even in the heat. The better times to plant trees and shrubs are early fall, late spring, and early summer. So, the next time to consider is early fall for your planting goals. It's a good idea to plant trees when they are dormant. Also, soak the shrub or tree in its pot before removing it to plant as this helps reduce the risk of damaging its tender roots. Provide good soil by adding a compost mixture and mulch after planting the tree or shrub. It can be challenging to plant trees and shrubs in a way that gives them a chance to grow and thrive. That is why we are here to help. Contact us today to learn more about our planting, landscaping, and garden maintenance services.

Climate and Landscaping With all of the attention on climate change, I started to wonder what potential such a threat would have on the multi billion dollar landscaping industry.

This group was founded in 1899 and is comprised of over 15,000 US landscape architects that are experts in their field. They describe their mission as "Landscape architects lead the planning, design, and stewardship of healthy, equitable, safe, and resilient environments. The Society’s mission is to advance landscape architecture through advocacy, communication, education, and fellowship". Weather conditions by all accounts seem to have changed. [...]

Winter is an Ideal Time to Plant Trees and Shrubs

Pugh's Earthworks Tennessee's Commercial Landscape Services For Every Season Pugh's Earthworks provides commercial landscape design and maintenance services throughout Tennessee, including Memphis, Jackson, and Nashville plus we service commercial lawns and landscaping in Little Rock, Arkansas. Our monthly seasonal landscape care for residential commercial properties includes professional lawn care, planting and pruning, landscape design, water-conservation strategies, and more. One of the areas we can assist you with is planting trees and shrubs, which enhance the look of your residential landscape or commercial landscape. We recommend that you consider planting trees and shrubs in the winter time. Here's why. First, plants store energy during the growing season to provide energy during the fall and winter for them to grow roots. Most of this root growth actually takes place during this “dormant” season. Second, you don't have to provide as much water when you plant them in the winter versus other seasons. Finally, much of the work you usually have to do with the true and shrub planting process is not necessary, including pruning. What you will need to do is mulch because the trees and shrubs need this application to maintain a constant skill temperature that encourages root growth. Fertilizer is also important because it helps promote that critical root growth. For trees planted in a windy area, it's important to stoke the trees to prevent undue stress on those new roots. Evergreens are the only trees you should avoid planting in winter. Unlike deciduous trees and shrubs, evergreens keep their foliage in wintertime. These trees have a difficult time with establishing roots and preserving needles’ moisture levels during the winter months. The only other issue would be if the ground is frozen as this would make any type of planting difficult to do. To find out how we can help you with trees and shrubs or any other type of landscape need, including lawn care, irrigation, hardscape, and more, contact us today!

Trim Your Limbs For Healthier Trees

Pugh's Earthworks The Best Commercial Landscape Services in Memphis Healthy trees are ones that have their limbs trimmed on a regular basis. Plus, it makes the landscape look great and ensures a higher level of safety that limbs or branches won't fall unexpectedly. As a commercial landscape company, we have deep expertise and years of experience maintaining trees. Here are some tips to follow for trimming those limbs: General Tree Trimming A general rule of thumb is to trim or prune a tree during its dormant season. Be aware of the size of the branches that you need to remove. Only trim branches that have weak, V-shaped, and narrow angles. Be sure to keep the branches that have strong, U-shaped angles. Then, lateral branches should be between one-half and three-quarters the diameter of the stem where it attaches to the tee. Otherwise, these branches should be removed. Tree Pruning Tips Crown thinning involves thinning out the limbs located near the crown of the tree. When you work on this area of the tree, keep the lateral branches as evenly spaced as possible. You'll also need to remove the branches that cross or run against others. Crown raising is a way to provide clearance for pedestrians. When you do this pruning process, keep the live branches on at least two-thirds of the tree’s height. Crown reduction involves removing the whole branch. Tree Trimming Techniques Before trimming anything, identify the branch collar, which grows from the stem tissue at the bottom base of the branch. Also, look for the branch ridge, which is on the upper surface. Always cut outside the branch bark ridge and angle the cut down and away from the stem. This technique can also be used to remove dead branches and trim back living branches. Pugh's Earthworks is one of the largest landscape design, installation and maintenance firms in the Mid South area, including cities in Tennessee like Memphis, Jackson, and Nashville as well as Little Rock, Arkansas.
