Bed renovation
Out with the old. Plant it right.
Foundation shrubs that were planted years ago often outgrow their space, block windows or thin out at the bottom. Sometimes the best fix is starting over. We remove old shrubs using a mini track loader for the heavy pulling, and clear the bed so it's ready for something new.
Choosing what goes back in matters as much as the planting. We'll help you pick shrubs and flowers suited to your soil, our climate and the look you want, thinking about how big they'll get, how much care they need and what they offer in each season, from spring blooms to fall color.
Then we do the planting right: soil preparation, proper planting depth and spacing, a thorough first watering and a layer of mulch to finish. Before we leave, we'll explain how to care for the new plants while they get established.
The right plant in the right spot saves years of fighting it.
Know the signs
Signs a bed needs new life
Shrubs have outgrown their space
Shrubs covering windows, crowding walks or pushing against siding are often past the point where trimming helps.
Plants are thin or dying back
Bare lower branches, dead sections and sparse growth usually mean a shrub is near the end of its useful life.
The bed has no shape
Beds that filled in over the years without a plan often look cluttered. A redesign gives them structure again.
Nothing blooms anymore
If the bed is all green and no color, adding flowering shrubs or perennials can bring back seasonal interest.
You're updating the house
New siding, a new walk or fresh paint is a natural moment to refresh the plantings that frame the house.

Neighbors say it best.
Can you remove large, old shrubs?
Yes. We use a mini track loader to pull out established shrubs that would be very hard to remove by hand. Send us photos and we'll let you know what's involved.
Do you help pick out plants?
Yes. We'll talk through your soil, how much sun the bed gets, how much upkeep you want and the look you're after, then suggest plants that fit.
How much watering will new plants need?
New plantings need regular water while their roots establish, more than established plants do. We give the first watering and explain what to do after that for your specific plants.
When is the best time to plant?
Spring and early fall are generally the best times for most shrubs and perennials, when temperatures are mild and roots can settle in. We'll talk through timing for the plants you choose.
Can you add a border to the new bed?
Ask us about adding edging or a stone bed border. A defined edge makes a newly planted bed look finished and helps keep the mulch where it belongs.
