In past blogs, we’ve gone into some of the core of our business philosophy and how we work – but let’s talk a little bit about some of the more subtle details in common landscaping jobs. Meanwhile, you can start thinking about what to do at your property when spring commences.
Here are some of the issues that we often work out with customers as we’re providing them with excellent landscaping and superior customer service, to get their properties in great condition.
Edging and Edging Materials
You can have great-looking beds where all of the plants are properly placed, etc., but you want something for the edges, too. Otherwise, you have kind of a ragged look where the beds meet the grass.
We specialize in providing that precise edging of beds, and we can also put in place some of the best most popular materials for keeping mulch and other items in place. Its up to you how you want to set your edges up – but we provide a lot of advice, nuanced advice, and logistics.
Erosion Control
This is one that professional landscapers have to keep in mind as they work on properties, either residential or commercial properties, and change things around in terms of exterior settings.
On a larger scale level, communities limit erosion by forcing developers to put control systems in place and to submit particular erosion and sedimentation plans through local or state government.
On the residential side, landscapers have to understand that earthmoving can leave soil vulnerable to erosion, and they have to factor that into their working plans. That’s not something the customer necessarily has to be involved with, but it’s a must for professional companies, and we pay attention to that detail as well.
Building Considerations
We’re often working close to people’s homes, and that creates some responsibility to consider details like encroachment, where piling up soil or mulch next to a building exterior may or may not be the best thing to do.
Professional companies also have to consider vents and other apertures in the wall of the building as they are working around a structure. These vents may need a specific amount of clearance, and distance from shrubs or plants that could otherwise block important air movement.
In the course of their work, the companies also have to consider stormwater runoff and how gutters and downspouts work, and they have to plan around these realities. Otherwise, you’re really not getting the best result, and you could even have water damage problems related to improper placement of landscaping materials
Eliminate all these issues by getting Lawn Capital to work on your property – we’re very diligent about what we do, and we take care to treat each customer as our only customer. That’s a value to families around Decatur, GA who need their homes to look their best.
