Beds we keep
I just couldn’t keep up my yard along with everything else I had going on. So I started looking for a service. All the lawn services that I was familiar with was completely booked so I decided to give home advisor a try. Total lawn service came out and got the job done and they did a nice job. They are going to take care of my yard for me and I really appreciate that. Thanks to all who worked on my yard!
This was a hot, dirty time consuming job and I knew that it was going to be unpleasant. They removed all of the black mulch which I determined after a couple of months that I hated. It smelled bad and grew mold better than anything else. They replaced it with new, fresh, brown pine bark mulch and tidied up the yard. I will use them again when I encounter a job that I can’t tackle.
While our property did not need mowed for a couple of weeks. I was pleases to learn that the owner will be my go-to maintence person I hope for years to come. He is knowledgeable and trustworthy. His price is more than fair, and I will be using him for many more projects.
What bed care is priced on
More beds and more frequent visits mean more weeding, edging and mulch over a season.
- Size and number of beds
- More bed area means more weeding, edging and mulch.
- How often we visit
- A visit every couple of weeks costs more over a season than seasonal visits.
- Condition at the start
- Overgrown beds need a first cleanup before routine care can keep up.
- Plants in the beds
- Hedges, roses and seasonal color take more hands-on time than a bed of low shrubs.
A season of bed care, visit by visit
We set a schedule
Visits every couple of weeks in the growing season, seasonal visits only, or something in between.
The crew keeps it up
Each visit covers weeding, edging and trimming as the season calls for, and we tell you about anything that needs more.
Seasonal work on time
Mulch in spring, cutbacks and leaf cleanup in fall, and dormant pruning in winter.
Bed and shrub care through the Piedmont year
Working with the seasons keeps a landscape healthy instead of just tidy for a week. Each season has its own jobs, and doing them on time saves work in the next one.
Spring
Cleanup, fresh mulch once the soil warms and the first round of color.
Summer
Steady weeding, watering checks and light shaping.
Fall
Perennials cut back, leaves cleared and annuals changed out.
Winter
Dormant pruning of summer-flowering shrubs and small trees.
Keeping the planted parts of your yard in shape
A landscape starts slipping the season after it goes in. Weeds fill the beds, shrubs outgrow their shape, mulch fades to gray and the edge between bed and lawn disappears. Landscape maintenance is the steady care of the beds, shrubs, small trees and borders that keeps it looking the way it was meant to.
We work on a recurring schedule or in seasonal visits, whichever suits your yard. Bed care sits alongside our other Kernersville landscaping work; for the grass itself see lawn maintenance, and one crew can look after both.
Shrub trimming, mulch and how often beds need care
Is this different from lawn mowing?
Yes. Mowing and turf work fall under lawn maintenance. Landscape maintenance is the care of your beds, shrubs and plantings. Many customers have us do both.
How often should beds be maintained?
Most landscapes look best with a visit every couple of weeks in the growing season, plus larger spring and fall cleanups. We set the schedule to your plantings.
Do you refresh mulch?
Yes. A spring refresh holds moisture in our clay soil, keeps weeds down and gives the beds a clean, finished look.
When should shrubs be trimmed?
Azaleas and other spring bloomers are trimmed right after they flower; summer bloomers such as crape myrtles and abelia are pruned in late winter. Timing follows the shrub, not the calendar.
