If one thing is sure it is this - gardens are ever changing. Desired plants keep growing, undesirable plants move in and take over, and weather and disease take their toll.
Lawn maintenance crews simply do not have the time to take care of flower beds, shrubs, and trees. This is not a fault. The lawn maintenance business is very competitive and making a living at it requires hustle, and getting in as many jobs as possible in a day's time.
Pruning, weeding, de-vining, removing ivy and tree saplings, transplanting, design, and planting are by comparison very slow. Lawn maintenance crews would go broke trying to do all that too.
So, whether you have an ongoing contract with a lawn maintenance company, or work with them on an as-needed basis, you probably don't have a similar arrangement for the rest of your yard, that is, that part of your yard on the other side of the border grass.
That's where I come in. On a bi weekly, monthly, or quarterly basis I can come to your place and take care of your beds - pruning, mulching, dead heading, keeping up a compost pile, planting, transplanting, dividing, ridding your beds of vines and volunteer trees and plants, and so forth.
Most overgrown shrubs - especially flowering ones - need several seasons to bring back into shape. And many invasive plants like Wisteria require several seasons to eradicate as well.
I would love to talk to you about ongoing care of your garden. You can reach me by e-mail at gillespie.joel@gmail.com or by phone at 803-767-0575.
