Landscape Maintenance

Landscape maintenance (or groundskeeping) is the art and vocation of keeping a landscape healthy, clean, safe and attractive, typically in a garden, yard, park, Institutional setting or estate. Using tools, supplies, knowledge, physical exertion and skills, a groundskeeper may plan or carry out annual plantings and harvestings, periodic weeding and fertilizing, other gardening, lawn care, timely shrub pruning, topiary,and other jobs for protecting and improving the topsoil, plants, and garden accessories.

Healthy Landscapes will maintain your landscape on a weekly or monthly basis depending on your needs. Our goal is to have your landscape appear natural and beautiful by shearing the right shrubs and the right time and pruning all others after flowering. It is our experience that many "landscapers" (lawn cutters) shear all the shrubs at the same time. They do not want to come at periodic times throughout the growing season, even though it is best for the plants. Remember, not all shrubs tolerate shearing.
