A beautiful landscape comprises so many different aspects, from healthy trees and shrubs to a lush manicured lawn, to weed-free mulched beds with crisp edges. We feel the best way to enhance and maintain a beautiful landscape is to have one contractor address all of the variables and take ownership in the landscape, not just the individual tasks. We feel our years of experience, continued education, and commitment to excellence make us the best source to maintain your entire landscape with one contact.

We maintain relationships with a variety of professionals in other trades as well, so when you encounter a situation beyond our scope of expertise, we can often offer you assistance in those areas as well.

Spring Cleanups
Spring cleanups are generally performed in April or May and include the following:

Removal of seasonal debris (leaves, twigs, etc.)
Edging of all plant beds
Turning existing mulch
Applying granular weed pre-emergent
Fertilizing the flowering shrubs
Applying new triple ground hardwood bark mulch*

* Hardwood bark mulches are widely regarded as the best type of mulch to be used for your planting beds. The dyed products that have gained popularity recently actually possess many defrimental characteristics and lack some of the beneficial qualities of a bark mulch.

Summer Bed Maintenance
Summer bed maintenance is generally performed in June or July and includes the following:

Pruning/shaping shrubs as necessary (either by hand pruning or by shearing)
Turning mulch to restore dark color
Applying granular weed pre-emergent

Leaf Cleanup
Leaf cleanup typically lasts from mid-October through early December. Leaves are removed from the lawn areas during routine mowing visits. When all leaves have fallen, a final thorough cleaning of bed and lawn areas is done. Still Waters typically hauls the leaves away from your site with our large vacuum units.
