Spring Maintenance is a freshening up of your landscape beds. Traditionally done between April and June, spring maintenance can be done any time of year. Our crews make spring maintenance look good. Clean, crisp bed edges and a fresh coat of mulch will whisk away the winter blues. During our visit, we'll also remove any excess mulch buildup from the base of your plants and along hard surfaces, do some damage-control on your plants, and get a jump-start on the weeds with a pre-emergent weed control treatment.
We invest in really good products. Slow-release, granular, and largely organic, our fertilizers are long-lasting and actually improve your soil health over time. The products and process needed for curative treatment of an established grub population are both caustic and expensive. As an insurance policy, we recommend proactively controlling grubs before you have a problem. Mowingis more important than you might think. Improper mowing can destroy your turf. Are you investing asmall fortune in fertilizer and weedkillers, only to be left with a weedy, patchy lawn?
Hardscapes are an EarthCraft specialty. The word hardscape is used to describe the hard, structural elements of a landscape design. Many landscapes include these hardscape elements which extend an interior space to the outdoors. Paver patios, sidewalks, fireplaces, fire pits, outdoor kitchens, and bars are all considered hardscape elements. Beyond the pavers, block, and stone, wood structures like pavilions and pergolas are other hardscape elements that complete an outdoor living area. The goal for a hardscape is to create a relaxing, functional, and aesthetic space that gets you outdoors while still having the amenities of your home at your fingertips.
The goal of landscape planting is to provide color and texture throughout the seasons while keeping maintenance minimal. Our custom landscape designs vary from one style to another based on your home, your tastes, functionality, and our expertise. Many of our designs incorporate local natural sandstone boulders, mounding of premium soil, and a variety of unique landscape plants. If you prefer a more formal look with hedges and straight lines, we do that as well! When you combine a solid design, proper plant selection and ongoing maintenance, you'll end up with a beautiful landscape that will stand the test of time.
