Landscape
Design:
Creating
a visually appealing yet easily maintainable landscape is an art
that requires knowledge of plant types, soil composition, spacial
relationships, and understanding the desired end goals. When all
of these elements are combined together effectively, the end result
is a landscape that captures attention, adds value to a home or
property, and conveys a powerful message about the homeowner.
With
over 16 years of experience working in the landscaping industry,
we have the know-how and ability to turn your vision into reality.
We'll work with you to create a design that:
- brings
to life your vision for the exterior of your home
- increases
the curb appeal of your home
- creates
an environment that is friendly, appealing, and attractive

Our
Landscape Design Process:
Proper
planning of a landscape requires several steps. Information must
be collected about the property, and preliminary ideas and long
term goals should be discussed. Afterwards, the ideas are pulled
together and put on paper, creating a working design to begin
the installation.
It
is important to mention that not everyone will need to begin with
a full scale landscape design. If you are happy with your current
landscape, and just want to add a few plants, incorporate a walkway,
or install landscape lighting, a design may not be necessary.
Smaller jobs such as these normally do not require a full scale
design. In order to give some explanation on how the design process
works, we have outlined the main phases below.
Consultation
/ Site Visit: The first step of any design begins by
meeting with you and looking at the property. During this phase,
we collect information about the layout of the property, the style
of the home or building, and take any necessary measurements.
It is also important to discuss the goals that you want to achieve
with your design. The ability to design a landscape around your
goals necessitates our asking questions about plant and material
preferences, who will be maintaining the landscape after the installation,
and any budget concerns for the project.
The
Design: After the initial consultation, we begin to
design your new landscape. Our designs are drawn on CAD programs,
and can be easily modified to make any requested changes. One
program offers a plan view of the landscape, and the other offers
a more photo realistic view. The plan view must be drawn in order
to correctly estimate the job. The photo realistic layout is an
add-on feature that we offer, and is recommended for those who
have a hard time visualizing what their landscape will look like.
Follow
up Meeting: After completing your drawing, we meet
with you to go over the design, and to take note of any changes
you may wish to make. If changes are requested to the design,
the hourly rate applies. If no changes are necessary, we explain
the design in detail, discuss maintenance requirements, and if
requested, we will schedule your work.
Cedar
Cove Landscaping believes in flexibility, and we will be glad
to work with you in any way possible. Once the design is completed,
there are many options to choose from:
1.
Cedar
Cove Landscaping can install the landscape for you.
2. We
can draw the design and you do the installation. You may choose
to purchase the materials, or we can gather and deliver the
materials to your residence so that you can work at your convenience.
3. The
design can be broken into phases, for those on a tight budget.
This allows you to begin landscaping immediately, and complete
the project as your budget allows.
If an agreement is made to allow Cedar Cove Landscaping to install
your landscape, a preliminary start date will be discussed with
you. Please keep in mind that during peak seasons, such as spring
and fall, start dates may be delayed.

Landscape
Installation:
The
process of installing a well-planned landscape design can be difficult
and cumbersome. It requires skill and an understanding of proper
installation techniques to insure maximum plant-life longevity,
complete satisfaction, and most importantly, safety.
With
our extensive experience installing a broad range of landscapes
and plant-life, you don't have to worry your weekend project turning
into an extended nightmare. We are fully licensened and insured
and we have all the equipment and man-power necessary to quickly
transform your old, tired landscape into a true work or art.
While
installation of landscape plants is our most popular service we
also offer a variety of other installation services to meet your
needs.
We
offer a standard 90 day guarantee
on all plant material that we install, regardless of the size
or complexity of the job. In many cases, the
90 day guarantee can be extended if we are allowed to perform
all routine maintenance on the installed landscape.
We know of no other company in the area that offers a guarantee
of this type.
Contact
Us today and let us quickly turn your landscape dreams into
reality!
Standard
Landscape Installation Services:
Irrigation:
We install drip irrigation and mist-type irrigation systems
to landscape beds. This is a popular choice for those who find
it difficult to remember to water.
Landscape
Lighting: Landscape lighting can add a great touch
to your landscape. It extends the usefulness of your landscape
into the nighttime hours, and is an inexpensive way to improve
security around the home. We offer installation of outdoor lighting
systems up to 600 watts.
Patios:
Patios are a great way to utilize more of your space outdoors.
They provide a place for family and friends to gather and enjoy
the outdoors on warm days. Outdoor furniture, grills, and portable
fireplaces can be added for those great finishing touches. Currently,
we offer patio installations using brick pavers or stone, with
a maximum size limit of 400 square feet.
Walkways:
Paths help guide visitors through the landscape, reducing the
chance of damaging plants or lawns. They can be constructed
using a wide variety of materials, such as gravel, mulch, stones,
or pavers.
Retaining Walls / Raised Beds:
Retaining walls are great for areas that are normally difficult
to plant or mow due to steep terrain. They are also great for
erosion control. Raised beds are similar in nature to retaining
walls, in that they provide an area above the normal grade of
the soil for planting. They are great for areas that have poor
drainage issues. Both retaining walls and raised beds can be
constructed using wood, stone, or decorative concrete blocks.
Lawn
Installations: In our experience, establishing a
lawn is a frustrating task for many homeowners. Cedar Cove Landscaping
offers complete lawn installations, whether you are starting
from scratch, or just need to revitalize your existing lawn.
We offer seeding, sodding, and complete lawn renovations. In
addition, we also offer a variety of weed control and fertilizer
programs, aerating, and over-seeding services. Please refer
to the lawn maintenance section of this booklet for more information.

Landscape
Maintenance:
Are
you tired of sweating away your weekends fighting to keep your
lawn, trees, shrubs, and flower beds looking presentable? Would
you rather be out playing golf, spending time on the lake, or
inside where it's cool and dry?
Imagine
having a lawn that always looks country
club quality, flower beds
that are beautiful and bursting with color, and trees
and shrubs that are more 'eye-catching' than 'eye-sore'.
With
our help, this is all possible!
We
offer a broad range of lawn care packages ranging from a simple
weekly mowing to full-service packages that include lawn, flower
beds, treees, shrubs, and everything in between. Our professional,
courteous crews will work to ensure your lawn is always looking
it's best, all while you're off doing things you enjoy.
Contact
Us and let us put your lawn care on our 'To Do' list so you
can stop sweating your weekends away!
Standard
Landscape Maintenance Services:
Mowing
Services: Services include mowing, weed eating, edging
around concrete surfaces, and blowing off driveways and sidewalks.
Our mowing services are offered in weekly and every other week
intervals and our schedule starts in mid-March and ends the
week before Thanksgiving.
Aerating
and Over-seeding: Many lawns have compacted soil
which restricts the movement of air, water, and fertilizer to
the turf roots. Aerating enables these elements to penetrate
and move deeper into the soil, thus allowing the roots of the
turf to grow deeper. Lawns with deeper root systems are more
vigorous, less prone to weed and disease infestation, and are
more resistant to the heat and drought of summer. Aeration also
aids in the over-seeding process by establishing better seed-to-soil
contact, which is necessary for successful seed germination.
It
is recommended that most lawns be aerated and over-seeded at
least once per year. Lawns on a regular weed control and fertilizer
program should always include this service, so that maximum
results can be obtained.
Fescue
and Bermuda Maintenance Program: We offer custom
lawn maintenance programs for all types of turfgrass. Each lawn
is unique, and should be treated accordingly. We would be glad
to work with you to achieve the green lawn you have always wanted.
Pruning:
Pruning services are offered year-round, although some plants
require pruning at specific times. We recommend that all plants
be pruned at least once per year. Pruning helps to maintain
plant size, and keeps plants healthy and vibrant.
Re-mulching:
Re-mulching services are also offered year around. We recommend
re-mulching landscape beds at least once per year. This insures
that weeds and moisture loss will be kept to a minimum, and
that plants are protected during the winter months. There are
a wide variety of mulching materials available. Shredded pine,
hardwood, and pine straw are some of the more commonly used
materials.
Seasonal
Color Changes: Seasonal color changes are normally
done twice per year. Summer annuals are installed in the spring
after the threat of frost is gone. Winter annuals are installed
in the early fall before colder temperatures set in to allow
enough time for proper root development.
Landscape
and Ornamental Fertilizer: Fertilizer for ornamental
landscape plants should be applied at least once per year. Fertilizer
helps promote overall plant health, and provides the necessary
nutrients for optimum growth and flowering.
Landscape
Bed Weed Control: Weeds are a big problem in most
landscapes. It’s amazing the conditions that weeds will
thrive in. We’ve seen them growing in wet soil, cracks
in pavement, and in places that never see the light of day.
If only our plants would thrive in such conditions! Landscape
beds should be inspected for weeds on a monthly basis. If weeds
are present, they should be removed by hand, or controlled by
applying the appropriate herbicide.
Insect
Control: Insects can cause a tremendous amount of
damage to the landscape. They can completely defoliate trees,
destroy flower buds, and in some cases completely kill a plant.
Other insects, such as fire ants, can
produce unsightly mounds in the landscape, as well as pose a
danger to humans and animals. Cedar Cove Landscaping offers
regular spraying for insects during the peak season.

Frequently
Asked Questions:
When
is the best time to apply TopChoice?
It
can be applied any time of the year, although it is most effective
when temperatures are cooler and the ground is moist. Ants tend
to be more active during this type of weather, and come into
contact with the chemical easier. In hot dry weather, ants are
not as apt to crawl over or through the insecticide. However,
the chemical still remains active, and any irrigation or rainfall
will bring ants to the surface, which in turn exposes ants to
the active ingredient.
How
long does it last?
TopChoice™
kills existing colonies of fire ants and prevents new colonies
from establishing for up to one year. After its initial release
into the soil profile, it binds tightly to the soil creating
a long lasting barrier which is not affected by heavy rainfall
or irrigation. Because it acts gradually it kills foraging workers,
but not before they carry the insecticide back to the colony
and spread it to the queens and other ants.
How
safe is the product to family or pets?
TopChoice™
is selectively toxic to insects. Optimum control is achieved
by using an extremely low dose of active ingredient (.0143%
active ingredient). Although no pesticide is considered completely
safe, it is the most responsible choice available for fire ant
control on the market today. The active ingredient, Fipronil,
is the same ingredient used in Frontline, a commonly used flea
and tick treatment for animals.
Does
it control other pests as well?
In
addition to providing control of fire ants for one year, TopChoice
also controls mole crickets for a period of 4 months, nuisance
ants for 3 months, and fleas and ticks for about a month.
Keep
in mind that this is the only fire ant treatment you will need
for the next 52 weeks! We guarantee it!
