Garden Bed Maintenance

Garden Bed Maintenance in West Chester, PA

At Lowery Lawn and Landscape, we understand that a well-maintained garden bed is essential for enhancing the beauty and health of your landscape. Serving West Chester, PA, and the surrounding areas, our comprehensive garden bed maintenance services are tailored to meet the unique needs of your property.

Mulch Installation

Mulch installation is one of our most popular services. Each year, we carefully apply high-quality hardwood mulch to your garden beds, ensuring optimal water retention and nutrient addition to the soil. Our mulch, sourced directly from trusted manufacturers, is 100% organic and available in dyed black, dyed brown, and natural colors. We stock these varieties in bulk at our facility, ensuring we always have the right amount on hand for your project.

We install mulch to a depth of 1 inch per year, allowing the bottom layer to break down naturally, enriching your soil over time. This method ensures a sustainable approach to garden bed maintenance, promoting long-term soil health.

Weed Removal and Prevention

Weeds can quickly overrun a garden bed if not properly managed. Before installing mulch, our team conducts a thorough inspection of your garden beds, removing weeds down to the root. For ongoing weed control, we offer the application of Snapshot, a granular pre-emergent that prevents weed germination.

Additionally, we provide weekly, bi-weekly, monthly, or one-time weeding services, including Round-Up application to eliminate weeds that have already begun to grow. Our targeted approach ensures that your garden beds remain weed-free throughout the growing season.

Edging

Defining the borders of your garden beds not only enhances their appearance but also helps retain mulch. We typically edge by hand, a method we prefer for its precision and care, especially in areas with delicate features like irrigation lines, low-voltage lighting, or underground dog fences. For creating new garden beds, we may utilize a bed edging machine to efficiently shape the area. However, for annual maintenance, hand edging ensures a neat and professional finish.

Shrub Trimming

Proper timing is crucial when it comes to shrub trimming. Our team is knowledgeable about the specific pruning needs of various shrub species. We avoid common industry mistakes, such as pruning azaleas in the spring, which can prevent blooming, or excessive pruning in the summer, which can cause heat stress. We aim to educate our clients on the best practices, ensuring the health and longevity of their plants rather than rushing into a quick job.
