A healthy landscape starts from the ground up. Regardless of how you care for your turf and shrubs, if your soil is unhealthy, everything else will suffer. 

The development of chemical fertilizers in the early 1900s revolutionized gardening and farming for people across the globe. From wheat fields to residential lawns, petroleum-based fertilizers and herbicides have allowed farmers, gardeners, and landscapers more control over the types of plants they grow, and helped them to achieve successful harvests in challenging conditions. 

If you’ve ever been involved with a property or site renovation then the chances are you’ve come across a landscape architect. Landscape architects are the people behind virtually every outdoor space in the human world, from urban parks and town squares to industrial sites and residential complexes. Good landscape architecture strengthens not only the people and communities that occupy the space but the natural ecosystem too. 

If you’ve spent one too many hours scouring the internet for “landscaping services near me” then it’s time to stop scrolling and start enjoying your dream residential landscape. It can be difficult to decide whether you should hire a landscape designer for your residential project, especially if this is your first time using this type of service. Questions like “when should a landscape architect be used?” and “how do I choose a landscape designer” are common, especially for residential property owners in Dublin ga. 

Few seasons can compete with the popularity of Fall. There is something magical about the changing leaves, those crisp autumn mornings, and cozy evenings sat huddled around a roaring fire. 

If you’re a property owner or manager, then chances are you’ve heard the phrase “smart watering” before. Though not exactly a new concept, smart watering systems have exploded in popularity in the past five years, with people all over the world looking to improve the efficiency of their landscapes. 

Many landowners swear by this money-saving irrigation method, both to reduce water waste and to improve the long-term health of their plants and lawns. In this article, we'll explore the science and benefits of smart watering systems, and show you how to get the most from your smart water system. 

With the weather getting toasty and the outdoors bursting into bloom, we’re all looking for ways to maximize the time we spend in our outside spaces. From playing lawn sports with the kids to hosting barbeques with family and friends, our yards offer so many ways to enjoy being out in nature. These spaces are about much more than a patch of grass and a few potted plants - they are where memories are made. 

There is a common myth that running a business sustainably is expensive. It’s an understandable misconception. In recent years the market has exploded with overpriced products claiming to be eco-friendly, on the condition that businesses pay big bucks for installation and upkeep, not to mention the fees should something go wrong. 

A lot is riding on the contractors you hire to complete your commercial landscaping project, and it's never fun to think about the consequences of something going wrong. Many people are surprised by just how frequently we are called on to carry out emergency landscaping on commercial contracts. In fact, emergency landscaping makes up a large proportion of our annual work.
