Summer Watering

Posted by admin on Tuesday, 6 July, 2010
Consistent watering is the key to maintaining a picture perfect landscape filled with beautiful turf and plants. It is during the summer months that landscaping often sustains the most damage due to lack of water. One of the easiest ways to manage watering is with an installed irrigation system. At the bare minimum, a conventional hose and sprinklers must be used throughout the summer to sustain landscaping. Water landscaping and gardens every other day during the driest periods of the year for best results.

For most lawns and gardens, watering should be set up for a penetration level of 6” to 8” below the surface areas of the soil. If you experience dry areas or wet spots, adjust the watering tools, such as sprinkler heads. For some areas, like shrub plantings or floral beds, other techniques and tools may be used, including dripper hose systems, soaker hose systems, and water emitter spray heads.

Peach Tree Inc. Landscaping professional crews are experts providing all landscaping services, including seasonal checks of irrigation systems for proper functioning and patterns. Irrigation systems should be checked weekly to avoid wasting water if sprinkler heads or drip emitters are broken or misaligned. Our crews also do maintenance mowing of landscaped areas. Professional mowing services can conserve summer watering use by keeping lawn areas at the optimal height to keep lawns healthy and to make the best use of watering.

Summer watering is only as effective as the devices being used to disperse the water over the landscaping and onto beds. Clogged or broken sprinkler heads, misaligned spray heads and other problems with watering systems can impede healthy growth and cause brown spots or dead plants. Our crews check out sprinkler heads and complete watering systems for pattern effectiveness and conservation.

If soil is compacted, Peach Tree Inc. lawn crews can solve the problem with aeration of the landscaped areas. They know soils in the middle Tennessee region, and can solve even the most difficult summer watering challenges. Our crews are in this central region from Murfreesboro to Nashville, Henderson to Spring Hill and all other central Tennessee cities and towns every day. We can easily work your property into our maintenance schedule. Call today for summer watering services and have your lawn looking its best all summer long.

Seasonal Color Care and Installation

Posted by admin on Monday, 26 April, 2010

Seasonal color is the way to dress up your landscaping throughout the year. Peachtree Inc. Landscaping is well experienced in dressing up landscaping in the central Tennessee geographic area. Their expert crews are ready to come in and change up your plantings to coordinate seasonal color with the calendar, so your grounds and buildings always look their colorful best.

You are not limited to keeping the same floral plantings after they have peaked and faded when their season has passed. Many spring flowers do not make it all the way to fall looking good. The same goes for fall floral plants. The reason to call in experts to make the seasonal switch is that to keep floral displays looking their best, much more is involved than just popping a plant into the soil.

Peachtree Inc. Landscape crews are trained in soil management and cultivation techniques that produce the best results in every season. To name a few, the grounds will glow with beautiful floral plants like Pansies, Begonias, Petunias, Tulips and Coleus. They swap out seasonal color in the spring and fall with custom created new displays.

Before the flowers go in, the soil beds must be prepped with soil conditioner and compost to renew the supply of nutrients floral beds must have for peak performance and bloom. Our crews add in custom fertilizer to encourage maximum blooming and color.

Ongoing care for floral beds is another necessity to keep the landscaping colors looking fresh and at their best. The beds require continual fertilizing and care to get the results you want from beautiful and colorful plants. Peachtree Inc. Landscaping crews are thoroughly trained and knowledgeable about the soil and geography indigenous to the central Tennessee region.

Our teams are in the central area towns and cities every day of the year keeping floral beds and general landscaping looking fantastic. We serve many businesses and residential properties in Murfreesboro, Nashville, Clarksville, Brentwood, Manchester, Springfield and many surrounding areas. We are very proud of the quality of our ornamental management, and our awards from Murfreesboro Magazine of “Best Landscaping Contractor” and our “Beautification Award” from the Nashville Chamber of Commerce.

Snow and Ice Services

Snow and Ice Services

 Snow and ice services are another specialty of Peach Tree Inc. Winter snow and ice management is just as important to landscaping as summer lawn and yard management tasks. Our landscaping professionals stay busy all year around because the central Tennessee area gets its fair share of winter snow and ice, including some heavy accumulations and snow banks.

When a winter storm threatens, one of the best things to be done is the pre-application of snow and ice melting chemicals. Salt is not preferred because it can damage paved surfaces and lawn and garden areas. Our crews apply a calcium chloride granular chemical for melting snow and ice. We never use salt. Using a pre-application will prevent ice build up from forming and make snow removal easier. During harsh weather outbreaks, you can rely on Peach Tree Inc. to arrive as scheduled to clear your parking lots and paved areas from dangerous snow and ice.

Our professional landscape crews are on the way to towns all over the Central Tennessee area, from Nashville to Cookeville and other towns. We are regularly seen at large and small businesses, as well as personal residences. No job is too big or too small for Peach Tree Inc. Our operators are experienced and ready to respond to every call quickly. We do our job thoroughly and safely. When there are heavy accumulations, we bring out our quality snow plows and other snow and ice removal equipment. Businesses value our services because they know that keeping a business open in all types of weather is essential to successful operations.

Maintaining landscaping and paved surfaces is just as important in winter as in summer. Keeping parking lots clear of snow, ice or debris is a safety factor and that is one job that cannot wait. Call on Peach Tree Inc. or visit our website for details, www.peachtreeinc.com. We are ready to serve and are regularly on the job in middle Tennessee towns like Murfreesboro, Clarksville, Franklin, Manchester, Henderson, Gallatin and Brentwood.
