Left unattended, plantings either grow or die. At Custom Gardens, we give your plants attention so that the landscape will look its best!

We believe in intelligent maintenance:

• We prune according to season…prune lavender in the autumn and it may die.. prune it after it  has bloomed and it may flower again in the season

• We use preventatives on plants that are especially susceptible to insect damage, such as peonies and Japanese beetles

• We use organic products whenever possible, such as a weed preventative in garden beds

• We mulch when needed – not twice a year – and we do not over mulch which can cause disease in plants

• We like to bring diseased plants back to health so they may continue to provide pleasure

• We control groundcovers, such as ivy, before they have knocked down fences or pried off windowsills

• We relocate plants that are not doing well to a location elsewhere on the property where they will be happy
