Pugh’s Earthworks Prepares Commercial Properties for the Fall Season

Pugh's Earthworks Pugh's Earthworks is a premier Commercial Landscaping company in the Mid-South. Our markets include Memphis, Nashville, Jackson TN, Little Rock and Southaven MS. With Summer winding down and Fall starting later in September, now is the time to address Fall Commercial Landscaping Service. The hot summer has taken its toll on commercial landscaping, including lawns, flowers, shrubs and trees. In order to help these valuable assets, sustain the harsh winter, hiring the experts at Pugh's Earthworks is a smart move. There are many steps we will take to prepare for the winter. Each one is a critical element to protect you commercial landscaping investment. Below are some of the items our team will focus on. Aeration - This process is something that not everyone thinks about, but the process is so beneficial. Over the long hot summer months, typically the temperatures and the dry conditions have caused your soil to compact and harden. When this happens the roots of the grass and shrubs find it difficult to grow and thrive. The Pugh's team using special equipment will break up the soil and allow moisture and nutrients to flow freely so that the plants can once again establish strong root systems. Plant - Fall planting is an important part of preparation for the season. For example, the hot summer may have killed certain spots in the lawn or shrubs in the flower beds. Unless you want bare spots in your commercial property lawn, it is a necessary to reseed of sod these areas before the really cold weather sets in. Same is true for dead shrubs in the flower beds. The Pugh's team will cut back Perennials like peonies, iris foliage, Hosta foliage, and daylilies. Other types of perennials should not be cut back and our team while know which those are. We will also plant new perennial bulbs and shrubs. Fall is a great time because the soil is still warm, but the air is cooler. This creates a better environment to stimulate growth. Of course, we will encourage that you continue to water all new and existing plants and grass throughout the fall season. Mowing and Fertilizing - Fall is a great time to fertilize. The Pugh's Earthworks team has the experience to know the specific chemical balance to apply and the tools to do it properly. This is important because the lawn is hungry for nutrients as during the hottest days of summer, no fertilizer may have been applied. In addition, when our team mows, we will adjust our commercial grade lawn mowers to a lower height. This is necessary as keeping the grass too high can cause it to mat during winter and consequently die. Clean up - Now that the temperatures are starting to drop, so will the leaves from the trees. It is important throughout the Fall to keep dead leaves and other fallen debris off of the lawn. Clearly this debris can add to trapped moisture which often causes fungal diseases that [...]

Hire Pugh’s Earthworks for year round health maintenance of your commercial property

Pugh's Earthworks The weather is slowly starting to cool. It will not be too much longer and the leaves will be turning color and falling to to ground. The professional landscaping services provided by Pugh's Earthworks are a year round contract. Every season requires strategic processes to ensure that commercial landscapes remain healthy and vibrant. One process that is vital is the removal of leaves that fall. Absent the services of a professional landscaping firm, this can be a monumental task. Leaves falling on the ground are a message that fall has arrived. And, while the colors are beautiful and the piles of leaves are fun to jump on, they really do have to find somewhere else to live beside the lawn.  Leaves are a common part of lawn maintenance. There are many reasons why you should remove the leaves from the lawn and methods for doing so: It is much healthier for your lawn. This is because if you allow the leaves to pile up on your lawn, they block the sunlight, water, and nutrients from reaching the root system and helping feed your lawn. The lawn needs to breathe but it can't do that if it is covered in leaves. The leaves can even block new grass blades. These leaves may also invite pests and diseases in that are difficult to get rid of. This can lead to mold, brown patches, and lots of insets. Also, it improves the lawn's overall appearance. Lastly, regularly removing the leaves makes for less work than letting them all pile up over time. There are many ways to remove the leaves from your lawn. The first way is to rake them off the lawn. This approach tends to get most leaves that have to be bagged up and removed. It is very labor-intensive. The second is to use a leaf blower, which does the job quickly but is noisy. However, as long as you select a good time to do it, such as mid-day, most people have become accustomed to the sound. Alternatively, you can use a mulching mower that shreds the leaves and turns them into fertilizer. Adding a bag to this mower allows you to collect everything and put it in your compost bin if you have one. Lastly, consider assistance from a professional lawn care maintenance company like Pugh's Earthworks who can take care of leaves, mowing, and fertilizing so you can just enjoy how it looks.

Autumn is the Time to Fix Bare Spots in Your Lawn

Pugh's Earthworks The Best Lawn Maintenance Services in Memphis Pugh's Earthworks provides commercial landscape design and maintenance services to those in Tennessee, including Memphis, Jackson, and Nashville, as well as Little Rock, Arkansas. We provide landscape and lawn services to all ltypes of commercial properties like office buildings, hotels, hospitals, churches and cemeteries in the cities we operate. Our landscape and lawn services also assist Home Owners Associations (HOAs), Condo Owners Associations (COA’s) and individual residential homeowners throughout Memphis and Little Rock, Arkansas. We offer monthly seasonal landscape care for lawns, bedding, trees and shrubs, irrigation, and hardscape areas. During the last few weeks, we've reviewed many of the tasks required for fall lawn maintenance. Today, we are going to address how to take advantage of the autumn months to fix any bare or bald spots on your lawn. Clear the part of the lawn with bald or bare spots. The first step is to clean up the area of the lawn you want to fix. This means removing all the dead grass and ensuring you pull out all the roots for that dead grass. Use lime. Lime reduces the acidity of the soil.  This is a critical step.  Reducing the acidity of the soil is the only way to help the grass seed grow. It takes care of highly acidic soil where pet urine might have caused the bald spot to begin with. Spread the lime evenly over the bare spots. Add topsoil. Next, add at least a quarter inch of topsoil, which is rich in nutrients and has microorganisms that help the grass to grow. Apply grass seed to the bare area.  The bare spots now need grass seed. Spread the seed evenly over the topsoil. Cover it well to account for the fact that birds may try to get in there and snack on that seed. Add fertilizer and then water.  You can choose to fertilize your entire lawn, including the bare patches. Like we noted last week in terms of how to fertilize, you'll need to follow that up with a good watering to help the grass seed and fertilizer soak in. Work with a lawn care professional. And, if you feel more comfortable having a lawn care professional handle all these lawn care needs for the fall, then contact us now for a free estimate!

Fall is the Time to Re-seed the Lawn

Pugh's Earthworks The Best Commercial Maintenance Services in Memphis Pugh's Earthworks provides commercial landscape design and maintenance services to those in Tennessee, including Memphis, Jackson, and Nashville, as well as Little Rock, Arkansas. Our clients include some of the premier office buildings, hotels, hospitals, churches and cemeteries in the cities we operate. In addition to the commercial customers we serve, we also provide landscape services for Home Owners Associations (HOAs), Condo Owners Associations (COA’s) and individual residential homeowners. Over the last few weeks, we've been sharing our best tips for fall lawn maintenance, including cleaning up debris and undertaking soil aeration. Now, it's time to look at re-seeding your lawn. We covered those other two steps because they are essentially the first two steps that you'll need to do before you can re-seed your lawn. That's because grass seed requires direct contact with the soil in order to germinate properly. The same goes for the process of aerating the soil. You are giving the seeds somewhere in the soil where they can get in and put down roots. Once you complete those steps, the next step is to spread the seed.  Opt for a high-quality seed or seed mixture that works for your type of lawn.  For small lawns, spread the seed by hand, but use a mechanical spreader when you need to cover a much larger lawn. Remember that more is not better so don't overdo the re-seeding. You don't want too many new shoots of grass competing for that little bit of light and water. Next, you'll want to add fertilizer on your lawn. After that, you'll need to water everything to encourage seed germination. Throughout the fall, you will want to continue mowing your lawn until the grass goes dormant for the winter. You'll also need to continue cleaning up those fallen leaves and collect all debris from your lawn.   And, if you need more help with fall lawn maintenance, be sure to contact us to learn more about how we can take care of all your commercial lawn and landscape need in the fall and every season.

Fall is Around the Corner So It’s Time to Start Sweeping Up Leaves and Debris

In addition to the commercial customers we serve, we also provide landscape services for Home Owners Associations (HOAs), Condo Owners Associations (COA’s) and individual residential homeowners. Fall is nearly officially here. However, you may have noticed in the last couple weeks that more leaves are on your commercial lawn and landscaped areas. There may be debris from the recent storms as well. Although the leaves will continue to fall over a prolonged period, it's important to stay on top of them and other debris like small branches and other organic matter. That's because if the leaves and debris are left to pile up, the organic matter can start to mold and cause problems for the lawn, including killing the grass and creating bald patches. There are many ways to keep your commercial lawn and landscape clean. First, you can use rakes to remove the leaves and natural debris on a weekly basis. Second, you can opt to use a leaf blower, which can speed the work of clearing it from your lawn. Once you have gathered all your leaves and debris, you can use a leaf shredder and collect the debris into lawn bags for disposal. Alternatively, you may also want to save all the leaves and debris and turn it into mulch or put it in a composting container. You'll need to continue this throughout September, October, and November until winter arrives. This can be a lot of work, especially when you are trying to run a business. That's why you can leave the work to our commercial lawn and landscaping maintenance team to get it done for you. That way, your landscape looks pristine and you can focus on your business and customers! Contact us now to learn about our monthly commercial services, including snow and ice treatment for the upcoming winter months.
