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 [...]

Pugh’s Earthworks is experienced with Summer Commercial Lawn Care

Pugh's Earthworks commits to strive in all we do for total customer satisfaction May has now arrived and already temperatures are expected to be in the nineties and above in some regions. Will not be long before the summer heat sets in for the long haul. Proper Summer Commercial Lawn Care is critical to keep lawns looking good and staying healthy. The certified and professional Landscape Technicians at Pugh's Earthworks, have the knowledge and tools to keep Commercial Property lawns in tip top shape during the hot summer. Being exposed to excessive heat not only takes its toll on us humans but it also is difficult to bear for nature. Meaning plants, flowers, and lawns. However, you can still enjoy a healthy Commercial Landscape even in the midst of extreme summer heat when you hire Pugh's Earthwork's. There are numerous actions that can be taken during the extreme heat of summer. Our team at Pugh's Earthworks is trained in all aspects of climate adjustments as it relates to Commercial Landscaping. Below are a few of the things we are mindful of. Length of the Lawn Often people like to mow the lawn very short. It looks nice and neat and gives the lawn that well-kept golf course look. However, when this happens and it is super-hot outside, your lawn suffers and turns brown. This is because the lawn is restricted on how much energy it can produce for growth. However, if you do not trim it too short, then the grass can develop stronger roots. And it is those stronger roots that support plants that can tolerate the stress that heat puts on it during the summer months. Use the One-Third Rule To determine the correct height to cut your grass, apply the “one-third” rule. This rule says never remove more than one-third of the grass height at one time. This keeps the lawn cooler because it removes less plant tissue. For example, if you normally cut your lawn at 2.5 inches, increase it to 3 inches during the hot summer months. Do not Over Water A big mistake so many people make, is to think the heat means grass needs more water. However, all that does is create another problem. The soil then tends to be constantly wet. This causes the grass roots to be deprived of oxygen. This can make them more susceptible to disease because diseases tend to thrive in wet conditions. Therefore, the drier the grass and soil, the less risk for a disease. Although you want to ensure hydration, you do not need to water daily to get that. Keep Mower Blades Sharp When grass is cut with a sharp mower blade, it will heal faster. Then, it is less susceptible to stress and disease that comes during the hot season. Also, the sharper mower blades will prevent a brown appearance. Use a Mulching Mower Rather than bagging up the lawn clippings, return them to the lawn by using a mulching mower. Clippings act as [...]

Consult with Pugh’s Earthworks regarding Commercial Sprinkler Installation

Pugh's Earthworks has been serving Commercial Clients since 1992 A key component to a healthy and beautiful Commercial Landscape is the process of Commercial Sprinkler Installation. When you consider the Commercial Landscaping Companies that offer this installation, be sure to speak with a professional at Pugh's Earthworks. Spring is a great time of year to start the process of installation. The ground is warmer allowing for easier trenching. In addition, it is early enough in the year to allow for grass to spread and cover the installation bare spots. You probably will not need to run the system until the weather gets hot and dry but at least you will be ready. Sprinkler systems are so vital for so many reasons. All types of businesses use Commercial Sprinkler Systems. Retail Shopping Centers, Restaurants, Hotels, Office Parks and Hospitals use them. Pugh's Earthworks specializes in Commercial Landscaping for these types of businesses. Below are some benefits of Commercial Sprinkler Installation. Economically Beneficial - A sophisticated and properly installed system can properly apply water. The use of a timer makes the water come on at the optimum time of day to reduce the evaporation. In addition, the sprinkler mapping is done in such a way that areas on grass, flower beds and trees receive the ample amount of water to keep them healthy and beautiful. Convenient Maintenance - Generally speaking a properly installed system should not require a great deal of maintenance. However, the professionals at Pugh's Earthworks will do a routine annual maintenance check to be sure the system is operating at full capacity. They also winterize all systems to ensure there is no breakage due to freezing. Please contact Pugh's Earthworks for a free consultation regarding Commercial Sprinkler Installation.

Pugh’s Earthworks will help with Commercial Spring Pest Control

Pugh's Earthworks owns and operates 5 landscape offices, located in Tennessee, Mississippi and Arkansas. While spring is a wonderful season of rebirth for plants, flowers, trees and grass, it can also be the rebirth for insects and pests that have been in hibernation over the winter. This is why Commercial Spring Pest Control is necessary. Our team at Pugh's Earthworks is trained and certified to know the proper methods and chemicals to use to eradicate pests. Insects can wreak havoc on your commercial landscape. These pests include fleas and ticks, mosquitos, flies, ants, cockroaches, and termites. This is the season to start with your insect control strategies, which can help how much pest control work you have to do the rest of the year. Here are some tips for spring insect control: Store and dispose of food and waste properly, including any bins located around your commercial property. Keep these bins tightly closed and empty them daily. Control moisture and standing water around your commercial property. High humidity contributes to pest egg production. Fix any leaks and clear out gutters and downspouts. Also, trim tall grass and remove any wet or decaying wood. Inspect perimeter areas around your commercial property for areas that may be ideal for insects to breed and live. Treat these areas first. Trim back trees and shrubs touching your commercial building as insects like to live there. If there are any fruit trees, clean these up because ants and other insects love the fruit. Keep all areas of your commercial property as clean as possible. Insects like debris and trash so remove all brush piles, excess leaves, and trash. Avoid mulch because insects love its warmth and moisture. The mulch should be used sparingly or not at all. Partner with Rosie's Pest Control, which is a part of Pugh's Earthworks, has pest control services. This can help by regularly treating all lawn and landscape areas to limit any insects or pests. Eliminating insects will also have an improved overall health effect and prevent commercial property damage. Here are some top benefits to Commercial Spring Pest Control. Protection of Property - The most obvious is the protection of your valuable Commercial Property. This is your biggest asset and insects can cause all types of damage. For example, a termite infestation will destroy your building infrastructure by eating the wood support. In addition, they can eat decorative wooden furniture and other landscaping decor. The Pugh's team can address that problem before it hopefully has a chance to cause damage. Reduces Diseases -Insects are known to carry diseases as they migrate through your property. Proper pest control applications will reduce the risk of Asthma, Stings, Malaria and other potential diseases that can be transmitted to humans. Employees and Customers do not want to work in or visit a Commercial Building or Property that is filled with bugs inside and outside. Hire Pugh's Earthworks to keep your Employees and Customers healthy and comfortable. Pugh's Earthworks handles all types of Commercial Properties. Each type [...]

Pugh’s Earthworks Provides Expert Landscaping and Lawn Maintenance for Cemeteries

Pugh’s Earthworks Services Large Cemeteries in the Mid-South There are an estimated 108 cemeteries in Memphis TN. Pugh's Earthworks is a Preferred and Trusted Commercial Landscaping Company in the Memphis market. Landscaping and Lawn Maintenance for Cemeteries is a very unique practice and requires additional training and skill. In order to design a functional and appealing cemetery, the design steps used in traditional Commercial Property Landscape Design, are quite different. Pugh’s Earthworks offers landscaping, lawn maintenance and grounds maintenance services for cemeteries and funeral homes. Some of the largest and best-managed cemeteries in the mid-south have hired Pugh’s Earthworks. Our staff has the expertise and skill to professionally service these facilities. The process begins with members of the Pugh's Earthwork's Design Team meeting with the property owners. Clearly this is a critical step. Issues regarding proper land utilization and how to ensure long term functionality are discussed. As Cemetaries are places to visit loved ones, they need to be a place of serenity and calm. The Pugh's Earthworks team will work with the owners regarding the proper landscape and colors to be used for benches and fountains. Typically, colors that are more neutral are chosen. People generally do not prefer loud and bright colors. Next there are numerous decisions to be agreed upon when it comes to plants, trees, hardscapes, softscapes and fences. Again, as a Cemetery is a place of reflection, much consideration must be given to the trees and plants that are native to the region. Then deciding on walkways, fountains, lighting and flower beds comes into play. The professionals at Pugh's Earthworks take every step in this joint partnership with the owners very seriously. In the end, our team delivers every time and exceeds expectations. Signage is an important issue. Cemeteries especially large ones can be a maze to navigate. Without navigation signs, patrons can become frustrated. Of course, there are signs for multiple purposes like Directional, Information or even Temporary. Regardless of their purpose, each sign must be created to flow with the aesthetics of the Cemetery environment. Pugh's Earthworks also has the expertise to properly establish drainage systems to keep the Cemetery Landscape healthy, functional and beautiful. In addition, our team will also work closely with the owners regarding the expected grave capacity of the property. This is a critical design component. In modern times and in more populated parts of the world, land space has become a serious problem. Such things as Skyscraper Cemeteries that can house Urns of loved ones and Stacking of Coffins or burial in a vertical verses horizonal method are now being used. Land is a shrinking commodity. To summarize, the Professionals at Pugh's Earthworks are the folks to call if you are needing a Cemetery Design and ongoing Landscape Maintenance.   Pugh’s Earthworks is a large landscape and lawn maintenance firm. We own and operate 5 landscape offices, located in Tennessee, Mississippi and Arkansas.

Pugh’s Earthworks Professionally Designs and Maintains Retail Center Landscapes

Pugh's Earthworks Can Handle Commercial Landscape Jobs of all Sizes Creating or Designing and Maintaining Retail Center Landscapes is a true art. There are so many elements that go into the work that most of us who go to Retail Centers do not have any idea of the effort involved. There is a social aspect of a Retail Center. Yes, people generally visit the Center to shop but there is also the socializing effect of being with family and around others. Not something that has been easy during the previous two years. In addition, if you are with someone that has the "shop until you drop" mentality, you definitely need some pleasing rest areas to catch your breath. Or maybe stay while your partner visits every store in the Center. There is a method to the design also that creates curiosity for patrons. For example, creating curved sidewalks and benches makes for a more aesthetically pleasing environment. Many Retail Centers built years ago used more of a straight line or rigid approach to designing sidewalks and sitting areas. Designing more curves makes the environment a little softer and less rigid. In the cold months of Winter, a nice and safe fire pit can add an element of the holiday spirit plus provide a place for shoppers to warm up and enjoy being outside. Parking lots are a key element to attracting repeat customers. Depending on what part of the country the Retail Center is located in, super-hot summer temperatures can make for very desolate patches of desert like concrete or asphalt. A professional Commercial Landscaping Company like Pugh's Earthworks will be able to design green areas to break up the parking lot and make it more appealing. They will know exactly what types of plants and trees to plant in the green areas to provide shade and beauty. Additional factors to consider with your Retail Center Landscapes are water fountains and color. Misting fountains that provide outdoor cooling for shoppers and moving water pools that provide beauty are always popular. Then planting the right flowers to highlight the walkways, pots and rest areas add beauty and freshness. Pugh's Earthworks has designed and maintained multiple Retail Center Landscapes in their Mid-South Region. Lighting is another important element of an effective Retail Center design. Shoppers will feel much safer if parking lots have ample and proper lighting. Not to mention navigation through the Retail Center is much easier if there is good lighting. A great Commercial Landscaping Company like Pugh's Earthworks will not only design mission critical lighting but also decorative lighting that adds some sparkle and fun to Retail Center Landscapes. In summary, as you start the process for choosing a Commercial Landscaping Company to design and maintain your Retail Center, please consult with Pugh's Earthworks. One of our many commercial property specialties is retail shopping centers. We have been taking care of retail shopping center landscape for decades, including parking lots, open areas, and indoor landscaping at shopping malls. Unlike [...]

Pugh’s Earthworks will Help with all Commercial Landscaping Including Proper Spring Lawn Fertilization

Pugh's Earthworks is a Mid-South Premiere Commercial Landscaping Company We are just about done with our last days of freezing temperatures. Spring is near and in fact most of the USA will be Springing Forward this weekend for Daylights Savings Time. Fresh plant growth and watching things turn green again is so enjoyable. This is also the time of year when Commercial Property Owners start to consider their landscape design for the upcoming summer season. One very import facet of landscape care is Spring Lawn Fertilization. Now is the time to recruit the experts at Pugh's Earthworks! Absent the use of a professional Landscaping Company, below are all of the items a Commercial Property Owner would need to consider for proper Fertilization. It is much more effective to call in the professionals. Lawns need fertilizer during the early spring when the grass begins to green up. Feeding the lawn, shrubs, flowers, and other aspects of your landscape promote growth while also strengthening the roots so the temperature changes aren't an issue. There are several ways to apply lawn fertilizer during the spring season. A spreader ensures more even coverage than fertilizing by hand. Also, hand fertilizing may result in burns where the fertilizer is concentrated and pale areas that don’t get as much fertilizer as they should. Try a broadcast or rotary spreader because they are easy to use and do not cause striping like a drop spreader. However, a drop spreader ensures that there is no chance of overthrow causing fertilizer to land on streets, sidewalks, or driveways. At the same time, a drop spreader requires two trips over the lawn at right angles. Apply the fertilizer and then thoroughly water the lawn. This rinses the fertilizer off the grass blades so they will not burn and lets the fertilizer sink into the soil to do its job. Keep people and pets off the lawn for 24 to 48 hours. There are different types of fertilizer that can be used. Slow release doesn't have to be used as often, but these are more expensive. Fast-release offers quick results, but you have to apply it in smaller amounts and more often. Your risk of burning your lawn increases. Weed and feed is another fertilizer option. You will need to be careful around trees, shrubs, and garden plants. You can use organic materials like compost and manure, but you will have to use a lot  Also, horse manure may contain weed seeds. Liquid fertilizers aren’t recommended because they are difficult to apply evenly and require frequent applications. Be sure to water the lawn a few days before you plan to fertilize. When you do apply the fertilizer, make sure the grass blades are completely dry to avoid burns. If you would like help with fertilizing and maintaining your commercial landscape, contact us now to find out how a monthly plan can ensure you enjoy a beautiful commercial landscape throughout the year that welcomes your visitors.

Not only does Pugh's Earthworks take pride in their professional image but they also stay current through many Commercial Landscaping publications, seminars and industry trade groups. A few years ago, management realized how inefficient being a paper-based office was. After researching options, the team elected to go paper-less. Below is a short story on how that all came about. " Michael Pugh, co-owner and CFO of Pugh's Earthworks based in Memphis, TN, says he first began thinking about transitioning to a paperless office back in 2005. Since that time the business has grown dramatically. Three additional branches have been opened. The volume of paper being generated daily—not to mention the inefficiencies tied to the handling of all that paper—soon spiraled out of control. Pugh reached his breaking point in 2010. "We were simply out of room at our main facility in Memphis," Pugh recalls. "We already had one entire office stuffed full of filing cabinets. Additionally, we had well over 100 three-ring binders with work orders from the past couple of years. We're talking about the type of paperwork you don't need to put your hands on every day, but still important enough that you don't want to shred it. I did not know what to do. I was looking at having to pay someone off site to store our paper. That was tough to swallow." Pugh happened upon a company called Cabinet NG at a QuickBooks user's conference. He learned about a product called CNG-SAFE, a complete document management and workflow software product. His curiosity over the concept of paperless was revitalized". It is small steps like these that add up to a Best-in-Class Commercial Landscaping company. In every facet of the business, the Pugh's Earthworks team maintains excellence by taking pride in their work and staying curious for ways to learn about improvements.
