No matter what time of year, it 's not
too early to start thinking about your lawn, garden preparation
and maintenance strategy for the coming season.
No matter what your needs, Town & Country
Landscaping has a program that will fit your needs and budget.
The best way to start is by talking with
Town & Country about your lawn and garden needs and getting
a free estimate to perform the necessary services.
Our basic service includes mowing, trimming,
edging and leaf removal. Mowing will be performed on a seven
to ten day cycle, weather permitting, from April through November.
All walks, sidewalks, curbs and parking areas will be blown free
of cuttings, leaves and debris after each mowing. Trimming around
trees, shrubs and other obstacles will be performed with every
mowing. All accessible sidewalks and curbs will be edged at the
time of each mowing, providing a clean, manicured edge throughout
the property. Leaf removal will be performed three times each
year -- two times in November and one time in December. The clean
up will include the removal of leaves, sticks and other debris
from turf and bed areas.

Some of Town & Country Landscaping's
extensive services and recommendations include:
Early Spring preparation inculdes cleaning
and mulching your ornamental bed areas.
We recommend activities such as applying
mulch, fertilizer, limestone, and pre-emergent herbicide to ornamental
bed areas. They will go a long way in keeping your beds looking
good throughout the summer. Bed preparation should begin with
well-defined edges and cleaning of all debris and weeds. After
debris and weeds are removed, a pre-emergent herbicide should
be applied. Adding this herbicide with your ornamental bed preparation
will greatly reduce the time spent weeding beds during the summer.
Applying a fertilizer to ornamental shrubs and trees during bed
preparation will help promote deeper rooting which increases
drought tolerance. One other application that we recommend prior
to mulching is the application of limestone to your ornamental
bed.
Once these preparations have been completed,
the final step is to apply mulch. We recommend hard wood shredded
mulch distributed to a total depth of two to three inches. The
mulch should be spread evenly throughout your ornamental bed
and excess mulch should be pulled back from the base of the plants,
forming a small well.

Once summer has come, treat yourself to
full lawn maintenance services. We offer a full range of options
including mowing, edging, lawn fertilization and weed control.
We also offer leaf removal, plant trimming and a plant and ornamental
tree care program.
Options you can choose to round out your
maintenance program are plant trimming and our plant and ornamental
tree care program. All ornamental plants and shrubbery will be
trimmed and pruned as needed during the contract period, depending
on the type of shrub. Fertilizer will be applied to foundation
plants and ornamental trees once a year in March. Insecticide
will be applied to foundation plants and ornamental trees twice
a year -- in July and August.
Another option available is our lawn fertilization
and weed control program. This option offers two plans that best
meet your needs. The first plan includes fertilizing the turf
areas five times yearly - in March, May, July, October and December.
Controlling unwanted weeds is accomplished with pre-emergent
weed control, which will be applied to the areas twice a year
-- in March and May. Also, eliminating weeds that may come up
during summer is accomplished with post-emergent herbicide spray,
for selective broadleaf weeds, which will be applied to turf
areas three times yearly -- in June, July, and August.
Our second lawn fertilization and weed
control plan includes fertilizer which will be applied to turf
areas two times a year -- in March and October. Also, pre-emergent
