​Commercial Flower Bed Maintenance

Trees are expansive and provide us with life giving oxygen.  They protect us from harmful UV rays.  Shrubs are verdant and lend a beautiful backdrop to small gardens and sprawling landscapes.  Flowers are the spice of life.  We can enjoy flowers with all five senses.  In India, sweet flowers are commonly consumed.  Our olfactory glands are ignited with the saccharine scent of roses.  Touching them lends a buttery, soft feeling.  Simply viewing them has a calming effect and lowers blood pressure.  Hearing the buzz of bees gathering pollen from flowers let’s us know that spring is here.  

Chemical Free Weeding
Weeds!  These are voracious plants that will take over your garden in an instant.  They compete with more valuable vegetation for sunlight, water and nutrients from the soil.  And if that wasn’t enough, they have the nerve to grow at a faster rate.  As annoying as these little buggers are, we take our time to pull them up by hand.  You read that right – your landscaper will avoid chemical herbicides at all costs.  We’re not fooled by clever marketing tactics.  What an herbicide manufacturer won’t tell you is that these chemicals are responsible for destroying the surrounding root system.  Like chemotherapy, they tend to kill more than the intended cells.

Pruning Shrubs And Roses
Pruning to greenery is like a good hair trim for humans.  Although you’d like your hair to grow long and shiny, a professional hair stylist will recommend a periodic trim.  This may seem counterproductive, but trimming ensures that your split ends are removed so that healthy hair can grow in their place.   If you let your hair grow without a proper maintenance routine, it will be uneven and full of split ends.  The same can be said for shrubbery and roses.  Pruning gives your landscaper the opportunity to mitigate any problematic areas.  Roses are typically pruned until autumn to guarantee full show.  Constant maintenance of your flowerbeds does wonders for curb appeal.

Dead Plant Matter Removal
For a garden that will elicit compliments, we will remove all dead plant matter systematically.  During each visit, we will check your flowerbeds for fallen leaves, broken sticks and dead limbs that may be hanging on by a thread.  This constant maintenance is necessary for the garden to flourish.  When you shampoo your hair, the intent is to remove the oils and bacteria.  Of course the hair shaft needs attention, but to grow properly, it’s the scalp that needs the most attention.  The same can be said for flowerbeds.  With dead plant matter in the soil, the bacteria that are attracted to it will compromise the health of the surrounding vegetation.

Fertilizer And Mulch Applications
At Southlake Commercial Lawn Care, we love mulch and we hope that you do too.  Mulch keeps vegetation from drying out in the Texas heat.  It provides nutrients to the soil and prevents erosion.  There are a variety of mulch types to choose from.  We will select mulch that will enhance the aesthetic of your landscape and offer the appropriate nutrients for your flowerbeds.  Fertilizer provides your garden with a nice boost.  Knowing when and what type of growth stimulant to use is key to a healthy and beautiful garden.  You can trust that when you enlist us to maintain your company’s greenery that we have all the tools, equipment and know-how to make your landscape flourish.
