When it comes to your Commercial Property, hire us to Highlight Building Architecture Using Landscaping!

Pugh's Earthworks Landscape design can be used to highlight architectural details in your garden. This can transform a commercial building into a work of art, or even turn the courtyard into a work of art. Landscaping with plants that complement the architecture and materials used in the building will draw attention to these details and make them stand out in a positive way. In this article we discuss ways that Pugh's Earthworks is trained to Highlight Building Architecture Using Landscaping.  When you are highlighting building architecture, think about the overall look of the structure. Do you want to use plants and flowers that reflect its color or design? Or would you prefer something more subtle? You can also consider using plants with complimentary colors, which will create contrast without being too jarring for viewers. When it comes to landscaping around a building, trees and shrubs are often used as a backdrop and provide privacy from neighboring properties. Trees should be placed far enough away from buildings so that they won't interfere with them if they grow over time. Groundcovers like grasses can be used underneath trees as well as between other plantings; this provides insulation from cold temperatures in winter months but still allows for plenty of sunlight throughout spring through autumn periods when there are no leaves on trees yet. When it comes to landscaping around a building, trees and shrubs are often used as a backdrop and provide privacy from neighboring properties. Plants and Flowers to reflect the building's architecture. Use plants and flowers that are native to the area. If you are working on a building in a city, use plants that grow well in that climate. If your building is on sandy soil, then choose plants that do not require much water to survive (like cacti). Do not plant trees whose roots might damage underground pipes or cables when they grow too large! Choose appropriate landscaping materials for your water source--and remember: if it rains all the time where you live, then there's no point investing money into an elaborate irrigation system! While you want to create a garden that is complementary to your building, it is also important not to overwhelm the structure with too many plants. To avoid this, we recommend creating a color scheme by using plants and flowers with complimentary colors. Use purple flowers such as lilacs or bluebells if your building has dark green siding on it. Use red tulips alongside brick walls; although these two items do not match exactly (red vs brown), they are still similar enough in hue so as not to clash when placed next each other on purpose. Highlight Building Architecture Plants The plants you choose should be in contrast to the building's color, material, and texture. If the building is white or light colored with a smooth surface, use plants with dark foliage and/or bark. If your building has a rough texture add soft looking plants such as ferns or grasses that are not too tall, [...]

Hire Us Today for all of your Autumn Commercial Landscaping Needs!

Pugh's Earthworks Pugh's Earthworks provides commercial landscape design and maintenance services throughout Tennessee, including Memphis, Jackson, and Nashville plus we service Little Rock, Arkansas and Southaven, Mississippi. Our monthly seasonal landscape care includes vital Autumn Commercial Landscaping. We are proud to be one of the best commercial landscape companies in Memphis and continue to seek ways to improve our service offering, knowledge, and experience to help customers maintain a beautiful landscape while reducing water usage. If you are a commercial property owner, then you know the importance of keeping your property looking its best. But what happens during the winter? Many commercial properties need to be prepared for winter by performing maintenance tasks such as relocating perennials and removing leaves. If you are looking for ways to keep your commercial landscaping healthy in the winter months, we recommend that you follow these steps: Relocate Perennials Remove perennials that are not winter hardy. Remove perennials that are not in full bloom. Remove diseased or damaged plants, as well as those out of place in the garden, such as those growing too close to walkways or other plantings. Consider removing any perennials that are too big for their location; they may need to be divided every few years, so they do not overwhelm the space around them. If a perennial has finished blooming and is not producing any new growth, it may need more time to recover before you prune it back. A few weeks after the last flower fades on a perennial, wait until new growth begins in spring to trim back the plant. If your goal is to keep plants looking neat and attractive, you will need to prune them regularly. Once you get the hang of it, annual pruning takes only a few minutes each year. For more information on specific types of perennials, visit our Perennial Library. Autumn Lawn Fertilization The best time to fertilize your lawn is in late spring or early summer. Fertilizing in the autumn can cause problems with winter freezing, as well as make it more difficult for grass to recover in springtime. The type of fertilizer you use will depend on what kind of soil you have: sandy soil needs a different type than clay, which needs a different type than loamy soil. You should also consider whether your lawn has been treated with herbicides or pesticides recently--the chemicals used could interfere with the effectiveness of fertilizers and limit their lifespan in your yard. Also consider Pugh's Earthworks fall leaf removal services and we will make sure not all those leaves end up in landfills! If pruning has been neglected throughout summer months due primarily due high heat indices (and therefore making it difficult), now is a great time before first frost hits so that newly cut branches will not dry out prematurely while waiting around until next springtime comes around again." You should also consider whether your lawn has been treated with herbicides or pesticides recently--the chemicals used could interfere with the [...]

Xeriscaping is One of the Many Design Jobs that we Specialize in!

Pugh's Earthworks Xeriscaping is a sustainable landscaping technique that uses plants that require little or no supplemental water once they are established. Xeriscaping focuses on using plants that have a low water requirement and attract beneficial insects to the garden. Plants used in xeriscaping include succulents, cacti, meadow rue, sagebrush and yucca. Grasses used in xeriscaping include buffalo grass and saw-tooth oak. Flowering shrubs and trees that work well for xeriscaping include aloe vera, hibiscus and coral bean. Rocks used in a xeriscape are typically smaller than those used in other types of landscaping because they do not retain as much heat. It is an environmentally friendly landscaping technique. It involves using native plants and rocks to create a landscape that requires less maintenance and water, thereby conserving natural resources. Xeriscaping can reduce your carbon footprint by reducing your use of fossil fuels and pesticides. You will also be contributing to the health of our planet by reducing storm water runoff into rivers, streams and lakes (which often contains chemicals from household products). Implementing this landscaping technique requires using native plants, mulch and rock to create a garden that requires less watering. The term "xeriscape" comes from the Greek word xeros, which means dry or parched. It's also known as water-conserving landscaping or environmentally friendly landscaping. Xeriscaping focuses on using plants that require little or no supplemental water once they are established. Plants that attract beneficial insects to the garden, such as butterfly bush (Buddleia) and trumpet creeper (Campsis radicans), can be used in xeriscaping. These plants also provide food for birds, bees and other pollinators. Xeriscape gardens may include some plants with a low water requirement such as native grasses and succulents like sedum or sempervivum. Xeriscaping is an environmentally friendly way to landscape a yard. It uses native plants and hardy shrubs, which can withstand the region’s extreme weather conditions without requiring much maintenance. Xeriscape also requires less water than traditional landscaping because it does not use any natural or man-made materials such as mulch or fertilizer.

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

Pugh's Earthworks Fall is a great time for flower bed mulching, especially if you want to protect your flowers from winter. Fall flower bed mulching helps prevent winterkill, but it can also help retain moisture and keep weeds from growing. Our team at Pugh's Earthworks is trained in all aspects of proper mulch application. The fall is an effective time for mulching flower beds. 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. It's important for them to have plenty of water during the fall months, especially if you live in a dry climate. Mulch will help retain moisture, but you should still water your garden when needed. Our team will start by removing old mulch from around your plants before adding new material on top of them.

If you want them a little closer together or farther apart, we simply move their location accordingly before adding more mulch around the base of each one. Mulching is a great way to keep moisture in the soil and prevent weeds from growing. It can also be made of many different materials, such as bark chips or pine needles. If you have a flower bed that needs mulching, we make sure that we choose an appropriate material for it. For example, if your flowers are sensitive to cold temperatures (such as tulips), they will not appreciate being covered with pine needles! If you have a small garden, it is a good idea to mulch around the plants. This will help keep moisture in the soil and prevent weeds from growing. Mulch can also be made of many different materials, such as bark chips or pine needles. If you have [...]

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.

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 [...]

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 [...]
