Ornamental Shrub Care

Posted by admin on Monday, 28 December, 2009

Peach Tree Inc landscaping is well aware of the importance of ornamental management. In addition to our design, installation and maintenance services, we specialize in protection of your landscaping investments. Ornamental shrubs, trees, flowers and bushes require simple preventative applications of fungicides or pesticides in a timely manner. This monitoring for insects and ornamental plant diseases is incorporated into our affordable landscape maintenance packages that can save thousands of dollars in replacements should damage be allowed to progress unchecked.

Our service crews will inspect ornamental plantings to determine the sources of problems. They are experienced and trained to know what to look for in different types of plants and trees. The middle Tennessee area has specialized ornamental management needs that are constantly changing as the landscapes around the area are redone and replanted. Problems can show up on flowers, leaves or on the entire plant.

For some areas of grass there is endophytic fungus that is the problem. In fescue grasses the problem fungus actually gives a benefit to the grass although the end result is bad for wildlife. The fungus causes the grasses to become inedible due to toxic qualities. Knowing what to look for, how to treat the problem and what time of year is best for treatment is essential to solving these problems. Timing of herbicide application is critical. Peach Tree landscape crews will treat your ornamentals properly and at the right time for success.

Our service teams and design teams work together in landscape planning, to try to avoid future problems from the beginning. If certain trees are planted they will be subject to weather breakage problems (Hackberry, Virginia Pine, Chinaberry, Weeping Willows) or insect invasion. Silver Maple and Boxelder are notorious for hosting mites, aphids and scales that damage the trees and create lawn litter. Other trees like Norway Maple make growing grass underneath the trees a problem. Many trees are subject to pests including Eastern Tent Caterpillars, Fall Webworms, Cankerworms, Gypsy Moths and Sawfiles. They can become unsightly with seeds, pods, bird droppings, smelly odors and other problems that planning prior to planting can avoid.

Problems will produce unsightly damage on flowers, leaves or on the entire plant. Ornamental management is a Peach Tree Inc specialty. We have received many honors and awards including “Best Landscaping Contractor” from Murfreesboro Magazine. We serve over 400 clients in Nashville and hundreds more in the central Tennessee area. Our crews service properties in Franklin, Clarksville, Gallatin, Hendersonville, Brentwood and other towns with design, installation, irrigation, lighting and maintenance services.

Turf Fertilization & Weed Control Programs

Posted by admin on Friday, 18 December, 2009

As a full service landscape and irrigation company, Peach Tree Inc. covers all aspects of turf care and maintenance. Our professional landscape design team and service crews fully understand turf care and landscape design. They recognize that protecting the investment clients make in landscape beautification is essential to our business success and customer satisfaction. As professionals they take pride in being up to date on all the latest products for turf care.

To keep landscaping in prime condition and health we recommend our Peach Tree Inc. complete turf fertilization and weed control program. This program provides scheduled applications of the appropriate types of fertilizer and weed control products at five critical times of the year. Applications are made during February, April, July, September and October.

Early in the year, before the growing season begins, we apply the pre-emergant herbicides that help to prevent weed seed growth from the start. These products kill weeds but not turf. Later in the season is the time for post-emergants that will kill any unsightly weeds that happen to germinate. Our granular fertilizers give turf the boost it requires for thick, healthy and green growth throughout the growing season.

Keeping landscape weed free gives turf the optimum opportunity for health and growth. Weeds are unsightly and soak up soil nutrients that the turf should be absorbing. Without weeds, which can grow in harsh conditions and spread readily, the turf areas have the best chance to thrive and continue to look green and healthy. Fertilization prompts healthy root and shoot growth in turf areas and is an essential part of any landscaping investment.

Applications of turf fertilizer and weed herbicides need to match a geographical area. We service all of central Tennessee and have over 400 clients in Nashville alone. Our Peach Tree professional landscaping crews administer customized turf fertilization and weed programs all over the middle Tennessee region. They visit large and small towns from Hendersonville to Clarksville, Brentwood, Springfield, Cookville and other cities in the center of the state.

Parking Lot Sweeping

Posted by admin on Monday, 7 December, 2009
Parking lot sweeping sounds like a simple chore but to do it properly requires the right equipment, trained staff and a desire to be the best in the business. At Peachtree Inc., we provide top quality parking lot sweeping including catching all those easy to miss places like corners, curbs and behind buildings.

Our company has an entire division devoted to parking lot maintenance and sweeping. We go nightly to large shopping centers, hotels, apartments and other commercial properties to vacuum up trash and debris from the day’s business traffic. Our two man crews work as a team with one man operating the sweeper truck and the other blowing trash or debris out from hidden places to where the sweeper truck can vacuum all of it up. They make sure all parts and corners of the parking lot are clean and catch any random trash from behind the buildings as well. It is a thorough job that other vendors do not bother to do as well. We leave parking lots spotless, every night. Our clients include major retailers such as Wal-Mart, Lowes, Kroger, Publix and others.

Parking lot sweeping is important because having your lots cleaned at night means your business is ready for customers by looking sharp every morning. There are no unsightly cigarette butts, gravel or trash to greet your customers and proper sweeping helps keep your paved areas safer. We also change trash can liners and hand blow debris away from entrance ways and walkways.

As a full service landscape and irrigation company we are familiar with the best equipment companies and use sweeper trucks from top notch manufacturers like Swartz and Tymco. We service clients all over the middle Tennessee area in large towns like Nashville to small towns and industrial parks. Parking lot sweeping is an important part of our property maintenance division business just as is outdoor lighting, irrigation service and installation, and landscape design and installation.

If you are in Murfreesboro, Gallatin, Hendersonville, Clarksville, Brentwood, Franklin or towns in between, we will be in your central Tennessee neighborhood as we care for commercial properties. In Nashville alone we have over 400 clients such as Pizza Hut, Taco Bell, Cracker Barrel, Kohl’s, McDonald’s and more. We are no strangers to towns like Bowling Green, Springfield, Cookville, Manchester or Spring Hill. Just call our office headquarters or visit http://www.peachtreeinc.comfor service to your commercial location.
