Surprising succulents

Discover the wonderful versatility and beauty of succulents in your landscape design, as a stand alone display in a captivating container garden or as a welcome addition to your existing planting beds. Succulents add unique elements of color, texture, leaf design and shape, along with distinctive frills and bristles that make them such a fascinating focal point. There are both annual and perennial varieties available, they tolerate dry conditions with little watering, and some that even survive mild freezes. Amy Elizabeth Uva, our Horticulturalist and Master Gardener, will advise the perfect species, location, and design to enhance and complement your landscape, or will create a stunning custom container garden as the perfect accent on a patio, porch or walkway.

Reviewing the condition of your landscape

While supplying much needed rainfall, summer storms can have damaging effects to the plantings on your property. With heavy rains, strong winds, and sometimes even hail, trees and shrubs can sustain cracks, breaks, and may be uprooted, resulting in harm to the plant and unsafe conditions in your yard. In addition to our general yard clean-up services, our professionals will assess your plantings and determine best steps for their continued health and beauty of your landscape. They will expertly prune or remove limbs and branches to prevent further problems or recommend replacement options as needed. This is also the perfect opportunity to inspect for insect damage or evidence of disease, and remedy with one of our organic solutions. Blown leaves and fallen twigs from storms can accumulate in your gutters, creating slow moving water and may result in clogged downspouts. Take this challenging chore off your “To Do” list and we’ll add it to ours!
