We Offer Superior Hotel Commercial Landscaping!

Pugh's Earthworks Hotel Commercial Landscaping is not merely about keeping up appearances. It is an elaborate choreography of design, maintenance, and sustainability that plays a pivotal role in guest experiences and the overall success of a hotel's brand. In this post, Pugh's Earthworks will delve into the art and science of hotel landscaping, exploring why it is more than just a pretty garden and how it can become a key competitive differentiator. The Importance of Landscaping for Hotels Landscaping is often the initial point of interaction a guest has with a hotel. The driveway lined with ornate trees; the entrance flanked by vibrant flowers—these are the first impressions that cement a perception of hospitality. Yet beyond aesthetical allure, landscaping is an essential component of a hotel's identity. From luxury to eco-friendly, traditional to contemporary, the landscaping aligns with and reinforces a hotel’s brand and atmosphere. Proper landscaping also compliments a hotel's building design, amplifying architectural features and directing attention to critical areas. It invites guests to explore and spend time outdoors, perhaps in a meticulously arranged garden or poolside oasis. As such, the outdoor spaces of a hotel have to be thoughtfully considered and carefully managed to ensure they continue to serve these important roles effectively. Benefits of Commercial Landscaping While we already hinted at some of the advantages of commercial landscaping for hotels, let's dissect this further. Enhancing Curb Appeal - In a competitive marketplace, curb appeal can be a make-it-or-break-it factor. The visibility and attractiveness of a hotel from the street can influence a passerby's decision to stop and check-in. A well-maintained and thoughtfully designed landscape can draw in potential guests, assuring them that their stay will be as pleasurable as the hotel's exterior promises. Creating a Welcoming Atmosphere - Hotel landscaping has the power to set the mood. Flowing, organic designs imbue a space with a sense of calm, while structured patterns can convey modernity and elegance. Each leaf, tendril, and bloom contribute to the atmosphere—building anticipation and comfort for what lies beyond the lobby. Improving Guest Experience - A memorable stay often involves more than a comfortable bed and good service. The outdoor spaces provide a change of scenery, places to relax, and sometimes, breathing space. Elaborate gardens, tranquil ponds, and inviting terraces all to become extended realms through which guests can unwind and enjoy the hotel's amenities. Designing a Hotel Landscape Crafting an exterior that harmonizes with the hotel's interior is an art. It begins with a deep understanding of the brand, its values, and the image it wishes to convey. These are all areas Pugh's Earthworks has experience with. Considering the Hotel's Brand and Theme - A luxurious hotel might opt for elaborate designs with exotic plants, while a modern boutique hotel may choose minimalist gardens with clean lines and a monochrome palette. By understanding the hotel's brand and theme, the landscaping design becomes a subtler way to communicate these attributes. Incorporating Local Flora - Translating local landscapes into hotel grounds can anchor the property within [...]

We Provide a Wide Range of Commercial Landscaping Services Including Synthetic Turf Installation

Pugh's Earthworks Pugh's Earthworks is a premier Commercial Landscape company headquartered in Memphis, Tennessee. The company offers a full complement of commercial landscaping services which includes the installation of Synthetic Turf. Other commonly used terms for this surface are "astro turf," "fake grass," and "artificial grass". The Benefits of Synthetic Turf In an era where convenience and sustainability reign supreme, synthetic turf emerges as a front-runner in innovative landscaping. This marvel of modern landscaping technology has surged in popularity among homeowners, schools, landscape architects, and sports facility managers. But what exactly is propelling the swift adoption of synthetic turf? Our comprehensive blog post unpacks the multitudinous benefits of synthetic turf, from low maintenance to water conservation and beyond. Low Maintenance One of the hallmark appeals of synthetic turf is its low maintenance nature. Gone are the days of weekend afternoons spent mowing, the perpetual cycle of watering, and the back-breaking work of fertilizing. This translates into not only precious time saved for busy homeowners but also substantial cost savings for schools and sports facilities that manage expansive areas. Consider the hours allocated every week to lawn care; synthetic turf liberates you from this time commitment. Moreover, the financial impact of reduced material costs, equipment wear-and-tear, and labor give synthetic turf a salient edge. Water Conservation Our synthetic turf stands on the front lines of water conservation — an increasingly vital initiative amidst global environmental concerns. The contrast in water usage is stark; while natural grass can soak up gallons upon gallons, synthetic turf requires no irrigation. This feature is especially pertinent in regions facing drought conditions or water use restrictions, where maintaining a green space could otherwise be burdensome or even unfeasible. Synthetic turf ensures lush landscapes without the environmental guilt. Durability When it comes to withstanding the elements and the rigor of sports, synthetic turf exhibits exceptional durability. Its resistance to wear and tear is unparalleled, maintaining its aesthetic and functional qualities under heavy foot traffic and diverse weather conditions. The implications for durability are far-reaching, from enduring the playful antics of children at school to hosting a multitude of sporting events without a dip in performance or safety. Pet-Friendly Pet owners rejoice; synthetic turf is here to cater to your furry companions. Say hello to a lawn that won't get dug up or turn into mud. Plus, synthetic turf's ease of cleaning — a simple hose down or brush-off suffices — keeps outdoor spaces hygienic and odor-free. All-Weather Suitability The allure of synthetic turf's all-weather suitability cannot be overstated. Rain or shine, sleet or sweltering heat, it remains unfazed and ready for use. For sports facilities and outdoor spaces, this means no downtime and optimal utilization year-round. Say goodbye to canceled games and waterlogged fields. Case Studies and Testimonials Do not just take our word for it. Listen to a homeowner who claims their backyard has never looked more consistently pristine since making the switch. Contemplate the evidence from a school that has saved on its annual maintenance [...]

Commercial HOA Landscaping is Just One of the Many Great Services We Provide!

Pugh's Earthworks A well-maintained lawn and garden are a great way to show your customers and community that you care about the quality of life in your area. Pugh's Earthworks is expert at Commercial Landscaping, and we can help! Our professional Commercial HOA Landscaping services will make sure your backyard or front yard looks its best. HOA Landscaping Benefits As a business owner, you know that the most visible part of your property is its landscaping. Whether it is an apartment complex or office park, people will judge your company by what they see outside. Landscaping can help increase visibility for your business and attract new clients through: Increased foot traffic due to attractive aesthetics (and sometimes even smells). This can lead directly to more sales or leads as people walk through the area on their way somewhere else. Improved curb appeal that makes potential customers feel more comfortable entering the building or visiting the website online--or both! Increased real estate value for your property. This can help you sell or lease it out if you decide to move on from the space and make a profit! HOA Landscaping Certification HOA Landscaping Certification is a good way to show your customers that you are a professional, and it can also help you win more business. It is a great way to prove that you know what you are doing when it comes to landscaping, which will make clients feel more confident in hiring someone like yourself. Pugh's Earthwork is a Certified Commercial Landscaping Company. If there is one thing that we have learned from our years as a commercial HOA landscaper, it is that everyone wants something different out of their lawn care service providers. Some people want an eye-catching design; others just want their grass cut on time every week without fail; still others may be looking for something more complex like seasonal color changes or maintenance services such as fertilizing and trimming hedges throughout the year (or even tree removal). Whatever their needs happen to be--and whether those needs change over time--you need not worry because there are plenty of ways for businesses like yours (and even homeowners) alike who specialize in providing lawn care services such as mowing/trimming/weeding etc... HOA Landscaping benefits include: Increased property values and reduced maintenance costs. In a recent study, homebuyers were asked what they value most in a home. The top response was "good schools" followed by "low crime rate," and then "nice landscaping." Homeowners with well-maintained lawns, in well-maintained neighborhoods, are likely to sell their houses for higher prices than those whose yards are neglected or poorly maintained. HOA Landscaping also saves homeowners money by using one company throughout the entire neighborhood instead of having each homeowner hire separate lawn companies for each house. Pugh's Earthworks HOA Lawn Maintenance Maintain the lawns on a regular basis. Mower blades should be at least 3 inches off the ground, and you should cut your grass when it is dry. Always mow in the [...]

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 [...]

Fall Commercial Landscaping is a Critical Component to a Healthy Property, and we are the Specialists!

Pugh's Earthworks If you are like most commercial property owners, you have probably got spring and summer on your mind. Who does not love seeing their lawns turn green, or the first flowers of the season bloom? Though they are certainly beautiful, these seasons also bring with them all kinds of lawn care needs—like mowing and watering. But what about fall? As autumn approaches, your lawn will be under attack from a new set of enemies: leaves! That is why it is important to hire Pugh's Earthworks to perform Fall Commercial Landscaping to prepare for this time of year before winter hits. Here are some tips on how to keep your lawn looking good through fall and into winter: Fall Leaf Removal Fall leaf removal is a great time to get rid of dead leaves and debris that may be littering your lawn. Fall leaf removal helps prevent disease and insects, as well as providing a better look for spring. The Pugh's Earthworks team will do this by hand or with the use of a blower, depending on how much work there is. They will use a rake first to remove most of the leaves and then switching over to either a push mower or hand-held blower for cleanup after that. If there is still some stubborn debris left behind after raking, that is why hiring a professional team of Commercial Landscape Technicians like Pugh's Earthworks is so vital to a healthy commercial lawn. Fall Mowing Mow grass at the highest setting. Grass should be mowed frequently, but not too short. The ideal height for the dry season is 3-4 inches. We mow often, but not too short. If we are cutting your lawn every two days instead of once a week or longer, it may be time to adjust our mower settings so that each pass cuts less than an inch off the topsoil and root system--which will help prevent any dead spots from forming in your lawn. We often use a mulching mower to cut your grass. This will reduce the number of clippings left on your lawn, which can help prevent disease and keep it looking healthy. If we are using a bagger attachment, we empty it as soon as possible after mowing so that the bags do not weigh down our mower or get clogged with debris like leaves and twigs. Fall Watering Make sure your lawn is watered regularly. Even if it rains, you should still make sure that your lawn gets the equivalent of one inch of water per week from a sprinkler or hand watering. Water deeply, but infrequently--about once every four days during the summer months.  Avoid using any pesticides or herbicides on your lawn unless absolutely necessary. These chemicals can put a serious strain on both the environment and humans who come into contact with them.  Use mulch to help keep moisture in the soil around trees and shrubs. The best way to keep your trees and shrubs looking healthy is [...]

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 [...]

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 [...]

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 [...]
