Mulching
Mulching can be very heavy work, but no worries, we are one phone call away from taking that stress off your mind and body! Below, are some of the procedures we follow rigorously to provide top quality results!
At the bottom of this page, on "Our Latest Work" there is a video in reference to our edging. Make sure to check it out!
Edging
We run our straight shaft edger around the desired areas in order to achieve a meticulous look.
Edging Pt. 2
Edge is redefined by hand in order to achieve a deep and gradual slope.
Preen
We lay down our commercial grade preen to help prevent any weed seeds from germinating after installing a
Laying Mulch
For most terrains, we lay mulch by hand instead of using rakes. It avoids laying too much in one area and giving the landscape a "bumpy/hill like" look. We especially avoid mounting a "turtle neck" around trees as it can harm them over time.
Trimming Bushes and Hedges
Having all your plants trimmed neatly can add character to your home! We recommend every homeowner to at least trim all their plants twice a year! Whether you are trying keep them from hitting the house or are trying to form privacy from the neighbors, you should shape your bushes from the beginning. Just like training a pet, it is always easier to get them to where you would like them to be if you start from the very beginning.
DO NOT
Trim too short, especially right before or during hot summer days. It can leave the plants too exposed to the heat and create dead patches (red spots above).
Shapes
Each plant adds character to the home in their color and shape! Whether you are looking for nice rounded boxwoods or a tall rectangular holly for privacy around the deck, we can deliver!
Creating Privacy
If you are interested in having privacy, we can trim hedges in a way where we can "join" them together while keeping everything at the same height.
New Beds and Plants
Planting is sometimes not as simple as it sounds. With A&E, we can provide you various options whether you would like to add color, or low maintenance plants, or a privacy around your deck!
