Our Technicians Know the Best Grass for Mid-South Commercial Properties!

Pugh's Earthworks If you live in the Mid-South region of the United States, you know how important it is to have a lush and green property. Not only does it make your place look great, but it is also an indication of quality and pride. Grass that is well-maintained can also help with storm drainage and prevent runoff when there is heavy rain. This is why our team at Pugh's Earthworks Commercial Landscaping has compiled this list of some of our favorite grasses Best Grasses for Mid-South Commercial Properties: Bermuda grass Bermuda grass is an excellent choice for lawns because it has a fine bladed texture, which makes it easy to mow. It is also resistant to most diseases and insects. Bermuda grass requires watering during its first year in order to establish itself. Bermuda grass is a warm season grass that does well in the Mid-South. Bermuda grass is a fast-growing grass that needs frequent mowing. It can tolerate drought conditions and has good shade tolerance, making it an ideal choice for residential lawns. Bermuda grass is an excellent choice for lawns because it has a fine bladed texture, which makes it easy to maintain. And again, it is very resistant to most diseases and insects. Centipede grass Centipede grass is a good choice for the Mid-South. This warm season grass grows best in full sun and well-drained soil. Centipede can tolerate drought conditions, which makes it an ideal choice for commercial properties that experience dry spells during summer months. It also does not succumb easily to disease, making it a low maintenance option for your Mid-South property. Centipede grass is a low-growing option that can be used for ground cover or as an accent in your landscape. It has dark green leaves with a fine texture and grows in clumps from 6 to 9 inches tall. Centipede grass is a perfect choice for residential and commercial properties in the Mid-South. Its minimal maintenance is a plus and this grass will not require watering once established, making it a great option for areas that experience dry spells during summer months. St. Augustine grass St. Augustine grass is a warm-season grass that can tolerate drought and is low maintenance. It grows slowly but has a deep root system that gives it its durability in harsh conditions. It is ideal for commercial properties because it can withstand heavy foot traffic and provide year-round protection from weeds or other plants that may try to take over your lawn. St. Augustine will grow well in any climate where temperatures stay above 40 degrees Fahrenheit during the day and below 60 degrees at night, although it will grow better if they are closer to 50 degrees on both ends of that spectrum (40-50). St. Augustine grass can be planted in areas where Bermuda grass is already growing, but it will not thrive there. If you want to switch from Bermuda to St. Augustine, you will need to take out the old plants and do [...]

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 [...]

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 [...]

This includes everything from your lawn to your patio and everything in between. The benefits of hardscapes are numerous, but they can be broken down into three main categories: They are easier to maintain than landscaping with plants alone. They do not require as much water or fertilizer to stay healthy. You can create designs with them that would be difficult or impossible using only plants (and vice versa). Retail Center Sprinkler Installation Sprinkler installation is an important aspect of a landscape maintenance plan. Sprinklers are used to water plants, keep soil moist and prevent erosion. Although you may think that sprinkler design and installation is not something that needs to be done by a professional landscape maintenance company, it actually does. A poorly designed system can cause damage to your property or even injury if not installed correctly. The best way to ensure that your retail center has the right type of sprinkler system installed is by hiring professionals like us here at Pugh's Earthworks who have been installing these types of systems for years!

Hire us in Littlerock Arkansas for all of your Commercial Lawn Maintenance Needs.

Pugh's Earthworks Here at Pugh's Earthworks, we understand the importance of keeping your commercial property beautiful and pristine. We do this in Littlerock Arkansas and four other markets we proudly serve. We have been providing landscaping services since 1992 and our team is dedicated to offering quality lawn care products at affordable rates. Here are some of our most requested commercial lawn maintenance services in Littlerock and all Pugh's Earthworks markets: Littlerock Arkansas Commercial Lawn Maintenance Lawn mowing. We can help you keep your grass looking its best with regular mowing, which includes trimming edges to give them a neat appearance and ensuring that all grass is evenly cut. Lawn mowing is the most important part of lawn maintenance. Mowing keeps grass healthy and helps prevent weeds, which can otherwise overtake your yard. Regularly mowing also helps control pests like ticks and mosquitoes, as well as keeping your lawn looking good by trimming off any dead or damaged blades of grass. In the spring and summer months, mowing your lawn weekly or biweekly is essential to getting the most out of your grass. Mowing your lawn regularly is the most important thing you can do to keep it looking its best. The best time to mow your lawn is when it is dry, so you do not run the risk of damaging the grass or clogging up your mower with too much moisture in the blades. Lawn fertilization. A healthy lawn starts with healthy soil, so we use fertilizer to increase the nutrient content of your soil while also promoting growth in plants' root systems. This results in healthier plants that require less water and fertilizer over time! We recommend using an organic fertilizer such as compost or compost tea (which contains bacteria). Organic fertilizers have better nutrients for plants than chemical ones do and are safe for children and pets. Lawn fertilization refers to the application of nutrients, such as nitrogen, phosphorus and potassium. These nutrients help your grass grow strong and healthy. If you are not sure when to fertilize your lawn, there are several signs that can help you determine if it is time for some fertilizer. You should consider fertilizing if: Your grass appears thin or sparse in spots. This could be due to drought conditions or poor drainage (or both). Fertilizing will give the roots a boost so they will produce new shoots that will fill in these bare spots over time. We have just planted new sod on an area where there was no existing lawn before. Even even though it looks lush now with all those new blades poking through the soil surface after being laid down last week by our crew at Pugh's Earthworks Commercial Landscaping, we recommend applying some fertilizer within six months after laying sod down. This is because it will encourage root growth under each blade so it can support itself better against windstorms later down the road! Plus if you do not do this step then eventually those blades [...]

Pugh’s Earthworks is a Premiere Customer First Commercial Landscaping Business

Pugh's Earthworks I recently ran across an article from the National Association of Landscape Professionals (NALP) that spoke to the importance of proper etiquette when it comes to Commercial Landscaping. Like any industry, treating customers like they are the most important is critical to any sustainable business model. Pugh's Earthworks is a premiere Commercial Landscaping Business in the Mid-South. Customers that utilize our services not only receive top quality services, but they also receive the respect and proper manners they deserve. The article was a good reminder that manner's matter. When you read the testimonials from the Pugh's Earthworks customers, it is clear our team fully embraces that fact. Below is an example: Testimonials “Act of Kindness.  So much of the time we only complain, but today I want to let you know of an extreme act of kindness expressed to me.  I was blowing the leaves off my carport and off my driveway when all of a sudden 8 young men with leave blowers came over and they blew the leaves off my entire front yard and added them to the ones they were cleaning up.  It took them less than 5 minutes, but I will remember this for the rest of my life.  We are elderly & my husband is a disabled veteran so I am sure you can tell how much this helped me.  Kudos to Pugh’s for hiring such compassionate & hard-working young men!” P. Harper Greenbrook The Pugh's Earthworks management team organizes periodic training classes for all employees. These cover the basics of safety, equipment handling and of course the proper interaction with all valuable customers. According to the NALP article, below are some of the basic principles a well-run service company like Pugh's Earthworks always follows: Commercial Landscaping Business Be Courteous This is the most basic level of etiquette all your employees should practice. Teach them to always be aware of people and train them to wave or smile at the customer or even passersby. Throttling down a blower or string trimmer as a neighbor walk by is a sign of respect. Your crews should know to behave on jobsite and refrain from horseplay or obscene language. Body language is also important. Teach your team members to make eye contact with the client when they’re speaking. This lets the customer know you are giving them your full attention. Discourage fidgeting or having a closed-off stance as this gives off the impression that you are not engaged in the conversation. Be Personal It means a lot to be known and taking the time to address your customers by their names when you are on their property helps them feel like they are not just a number in your book of business. If your crews struggle to remember all the names, provide them a cheat sheet they can look at before starting a job. Taking the time to look over the property and inform the client of any potential issues you see also shows you care about [...]
