Landscape Design & Install
Creating an outdoor space that’s both beautiful and functional starts with thoughtful design and skilled installation. Our landscape design and install services transform properties throughout the Florence area with custom solutions tailored to your vision, budget, and the specific conditions of your site. We handle everything from plant installations and sod to drainage solutions and landscape lighting, ensuring your new landscape not only looks great on day one but thrives for years to come.
Whether you’re building a natural privacy screen with evergreen plantings, installing a fire pit area for outdoor entertaining, or addressing drainage problems with French drains and proper grading, our experienced team brings projects from concept to completion. We understand the importance of selecting plants suited to our region, native species and well-adapted varieties that can handle our summer heat and occasional winter freezes. Every installation includes attention to soil preparation, proper spacing, and establishment care guidance.
Lawn Care
A healthy, thick lawn doesn’t happen by accident. It requires a strategic approach to fertilization, weed control, and seasonal treatments tailored to our local conditions. Our lawn care programs are designed specifically for the warm-season grasses that thrive in the Florence area, with applications timed to support strong root development, disease resistance, and that deep green color homeowners love.
From lawn fertilization and pre-emergent weed control to specialized treatments for fire ants, fleas and ticks, and perimeter pests, we address the full range of challenges that lawns face in our region. Our core aeration and overseeding services help maintain density and fill in thin areas, while our targeted treatments for lawn diseases and insect damage protect your investment. We take a proactive approach, monitoring conditions and adjusting our recommendations based on weather patterns, pest pressure, and your lawn’s response throughout the growing season.
Landscape Maintenance
Consistent, professional maintenance keeps your landscape looking its best week after week, season after season. Our landscape maintenance services cover the routine care that properties need, from weekly lawn mowing during the growing season to spring cleanups, fall leaf removal, and the ongoing management of landscape beds. We take pride in the details: clean edges, consistent mowing patterns, and beds that stay weed-free and properly mulched.
Beyond mowing, our maintenance services include pine straw and mulch installation to protect plant roots and suppress weeds, rock bed installation for low-maintenance areas, and seasonal color rotations with annual flowers. We also offer landscape bed weed control using a combination of hand-pulling, targeted spraying, and granular applications depending on the situation. For properties that need exterior cleaning, our pressure washing services restore the appearance of driveways, walkways, patios, and building exteriors. Regular maintenance isn’t just about appearance. It’s about protecting your landscape investment and preventing small issues from becoming costly problems.
Plant & Tree Services
The trees and larger plantings on your property represent significant value and require specialized care to remain healthy and safe. Our plant and tree services cover everything from routine trimming and pruning to complete tree removal and stump grinding when necessary. We approach every tree with an understanding of proper pruning techniques that promote healthy growth, maintain structural integrity, and enhance the natural form of each species.
When trees or large shrubs show signs of disease or pest damage, early intervention makes all the difference. Our fertilization programs provide essential nutrients that may be lacking in our soils, while targeted treatments address common issues like scale insects, bagworms, and fungal diseases. For trees that have become hazardous, are in decline, or simply need to be removed to make way for new construction or landscaping, our experienced crews handle removal safely and efficiently, including complete stump grinding to allow for replanting or lawn restoration.
Irrigation Services
An efficient irrigation system is essential for maintaining a healthy landscape in our climate, where summer drought stress can quickly damage lawns and plantings. Our irrigation services ensure your system delivers the right amount of water, exactly where it’s needed, without waste. We design and install new systems for properties that lack irrigation, perform seasonal startups and winterizations to protect your investment, and provide ongoing maintenance and repairs to keep everything running smoothly.
Whether you’re dealing with broken sprinkler heads, zone coverage issues, controller problems, or simply want to upgrade to more efficient technology, our team has the expertise to diagnose and resolve irrigation challenges. Regular maintenance prevents small issues from causing water waste or dead zones in your landscape, and our winterization service protects your system from freeze damage during cold snaps. A well-maintained irrigation system saves water, reduces your utility costs, and ensures your landscape receives consistent care even when you’re away.
