Soil: Nutrients and Types

Does your lawn look puny? Are your plants stunted? The culprit could be your soil. Soil testing is one of the most over-looked, yet inexpensive methods used to determine which nutrients are lacking, and gives the correct fertilizer ratio to use.

Container Gardening

Containers are not just for flowers. Grow vegetables on the porch, create a strawberry tower, use unusual and interesting objects to display your favorite landscape plants.

Pest Problems

Whether the pests are insects, diseases or weeds, we have the solution for you! And we have our own secret weapon: an Integrated Pest Management (IPM) specialist.

Rain Barrels

Rain barrels are a nifty way to collect rainwater for landscape beds and gardens while conserving water. They are easy and inexpensive to make yourself or can be purchased ready-made.
