Essential Practices for
Maintaining Your Landscape
Regular Maintenance
Maintain the visual appeal and health of your landscape through consistent trimming of plants, shrubs, and hedges. Weekly mowing, biannual lawn aeration, selective treatments, and annual top dressing contribute to lush, vibrant outdoor spaces.
Optimal Watering Practices
Ensure the vitality of your plants and lawn by providing adequate water supply, especially during periods of low rainfall. Consider installing irrigation systems for efficient watering if manual watering is impractical.
Essential Fertilization
Enhance the health of your outdoor space by applying suitable fertilizers to gardens, fruit trees, vegetable gardens, and lawns at least twice a year. Fertilizers tailored to each area of your garden ensures optimal nourishment for vibrant and thriving landscapes.
Beneficial Mulching
Promote plant growth and soil health by mulching around plants, particularly fruit trees, herbs, and vegetable gardens. Understanding the variety of mulch types available and their respective benefits is essential for optimal results.
Proper Waste Management
Safeguard the cleanliness and health of your landscape by disposing of waste properly. Prevent the proliferation of grass seed and weeds by refraining from dumping clippings in gardens or leaving piles in the backyard.
Pest and Disease Management
Implement proactive measures to prevent and control pests and diseases that can harm plants and lawn. Regular inspection and timely treatment help safeguard the health and vitality of your landscape.

Frequently Asked Questions
As you explore our landscaping services, you might have some common questions about landscape maintenance. How much should you budget? When is the best time to hire maintenance services? Do you really need professional help? We’re here to provide answers and guidance every step of the way.
What should I budget for my landscape maintenance?
Every landscape is different, sun, soil and exposure all play a role in the success of your landscape. Considering all of the variables is no easy task which is why it’s important to have an experience professional in your pocket. The costs can vary considerably but as a general rule $1500-$2500/ year is a good number to set aside for professional year-round landscape care.
When is the best time to hire landscape maintenace?
As soon as you anticipate needing it. The longer a landscape goes uncared for the more likely it will be that undesirable plants or conditions will settle in. Returning a neglected landscape to its glory is always more costly than maintaining it from the beginning.
Professional landscaping is an investment, most importantly in time. We have the experience and the know how to ensure your landscape is properly nurtured every step of the way.
Do I really need to hire someone to care for my landscape maintenancw?
The answer to this lies in your own expectations. Can you see yourself weeding, watering or pruning? How about feeding your plants or dividing your perennials? Many of us love spending time on our yards but not all of us want to spend that time toiling.
If you have trouble picturing yourself endeavoring to do any of the above then you should be talking to a professional about what they can do for your landscape today.
What can I expect from my gardener/landscape care professional?
At Green Slate we start with an onsite consultation to discuss your needs and see how we best fit together. Once we understand your goals, we can assemble a scope and budget for your landscape stewardship.
How often do you recommend maintenance visits?
The frequency of maintenance visits depends on factors such as the size of your landscape, the type of plants you have, and the season. Typically, we recommend weekly, bi-weekly, or monthly visits to ensure optimal health and appearance.
Do you use environmentally friendly products and practices?
Yes, we prioritize sustainability and environmental stewardship in our maintenance services. We use organic fertilizers, eco-friendly pest control methods, and water-saving irrigation techniques to minimize environmental impact.
Can you accommodate special requests or specific concerns about my landscape?
Absolutely! Our landscape maintenance plans are fully customizable to address your unique needs and concerns. Whether you have specific plants that require extra attention or areas of your landscape that need special care, we’re here to accommodate your requests.
