lawn care

 

Mowing — commercial and residential lawn mowing services. We offer these services on an as-needed basis, or for season-long contracts. Our mowing services include single-family residences, condominium communities, apartment communities and office complexes. We provide bush-hogging for those unique mowing situations that require heavier equipment.

 

Lawn Fertilization Programs (Liquid and Dry) — Our lawn care programs include liquid and dry fertilization programs with weed control. Insect and disease control are only included as necessary and with client approval. We provide up to a four-step fertilizer/weed control lawn care program for our customers. But knowing that one size does not fit all, we customize programs to fit individual needs.

our Landscape Maintenance

 

No matter how well designed and easy to maintain the landscape is, there is always an irreducible minimum of pruning, fertilizing and primping to do in the yard. Helping our commercial and residential customers enhance their landscape is a vital part of Barnes services.

 

 

Barnes offers no-charge estimates for any landscape maintenance work. Barnes personnel can estimate your yard work after an on-site visit with you, or on our own when you are not available. Whenever possible, it is a good idea to walk the property with your Barnes professional to discuss the work to be done in detail.

Seasonal clean-ups are designed to take care of planting beds (see Bed Care) and overall yard maintenance, paying attention to the appropriate seasonal practices. For example, in the spring, pruning, herbicide and mulching are important. In the fall, leaf removal and fertilization are appropriate.

 

bed care

 

Barnes Nursery Inc. provides an expert bed maintenance service that can include the following:

 

  • Selective pruning — controls the size and shape and improves plant health

  • Weeding and weed control — removes existing weeds and adds herbicide (weed preventer)
  • Fertilizing — provides nutrients to support healthy plant growth
  • Mulching — provides a finished, professional appearance to the landscape. Mulch also: retains soil moisture by preventing the sun from baking soil surfaces; prevents wind from drying and eroding soil surfaces; allows water to penetrate soil reducing run off; prevents some weed seeds from germinating; Insect and disease control.

 

Barnes manages pests when they threaten plant health. Estimates for insect and disease control are provided. For more detailed information on specific pest problems or comprehensive control programs see Insect and Disease Control.
