A new or renovated landscape can dramatically improve your
enjoyment of your home. Correctly planned and implemented, it will also
increase property value. A landscape design is created with the
understanding that your property is an extension of your home. The
finished landscape should be a place that you can visit regularly, whether
you wish to entertain a crowd, or just sit back and enjoy a private garden
by yourself. Allow our designer to work with you and prepare a great plan
for your property.
The landscape design process is as follows:
A meeting with you to determine
your intentions or visions for the project. Here we can create a list of
plants or colors that you like, and conversely, those which you do not.
We will assist you in establishing a budget that is both realistic and
comfortable for you to work with.
We will then take inventory of
your property, looking at conditions such as soil composition, exposure,
existing plants etc. Property measurements and elevations will be taken
at this time.
Our designer next prepares a
concept plan. This is a preliminary plan that will exercise the thought
process of space and balance to determine where plant beds, walkways,
focal points etc. should be placed. Several drafts may be required to
come up with a suitable plan for your review.
After your review a final plan is
developed. Here specific plants are placed in the design using color
schemes, balance and location. A final plan is then drafted and
presented.
Please note that a final plan is
just that—a plan. Site nuances will almost always require some deviation
from the plan to provide a top quality product.
We would welcome the opportunity to help you create your
dream landscape, whether it’s your entire yard, or a simple, private
garden. We want your landscape to be a part of your home, a place for you
to enjoy with friends and family for many years to come. Please
contact uswith any questions, or to set an appointment.
Tree and Shrub Care
Trees and ornamental shrubs are used to form a solid
foundation for your landscape. Some of the old style designers used only
trees and shrubs with wonderful results. We’ve seen many homes that have
no turf or herbaceous perennials and they’re beautiful. We can help keep
your trees and shrubs healthy and at their peak aesthetic value year after
year. Renovating overgrown landscapes is one of our specialties.
Pruning
Pruning is an essential part of tree and shrub care. Each plant is
specific in its pruning needs and all will respond differently due to
unique characteristics. Without proper pruning, plants may become
overgrown and unsightly pieces in your landscape. On a regular basis we
get calls about landscapes that have overgrown a site. This is almost
always caused by one of two things, inadequate spacing at installation or
much more commonly by poor pruning--- often times by unskilled landscape
contractors. Pruning is a form of wounding. Improperly made cuts are
unable to heal correctly and will often time leave a wound where disease
or insects can harm the plant more easily.
Fertilization Fertilization is underutilized on most properties. Trees and shrubs
often have their nutrients depleted simply by raking away the leaves that
fall each autumn. In a forest this mat of leaves would break down into
nutrients that they can use. This is not tolerated in our modern day
landscape and the nutrients need to be replaced. To accomplish this we
offer a deep root fertilization service for trees and shrubs.
Pest Management
A “pest” is defined as something that is a nuisance or unwanted. In the
horticulture field pests may be injurious to plants. These include disease
(viral, fungal and bacterial), weeds, insects, mites and a variety of
animals. Pests left unmanaged can destroy a landscape in a short period of
time. We offer a management program that will monitor your property for
pests and treat in the most appropriate, environmentally sensitive manner.
This may include physical removal of the pest, biological controls,
organic treatment, and when necessary, chemical sprays.
Except where a history of a problem dictates, we do not do
routine “calendar sprays”. This type of treatment does not discriminate
between microorganisms and insects that are beneficial and those that are
injurious to plants.
Commercial Service
Par 4 Lawn Care Inc. is well suited to keep your
commercial properties looking great. We currently provide care for major
businesses in the South Jersey Area. Whether you have an apartment
complex, or a place of business that needs horticultural services, you can
count on our professional and courteous service. We can customize a
management plan to meet the needs of your properties, everything from
Tree, Shrub and Lawn Care, to a full landscape design. Please feel free to
contact us if you are looking
to upgrade or maintain your commercial facility.
Residential Service
The key to having a great looking landscape boils down to
plant health. Our ability to distinguish between healthy and unhealthy
plants and knowing how to rectify a problem is what makes us different. We
have some “programs” that help supply plants with their basic needs, but
the real value of a program is the regular visits that allow us to
identify a problem before it gets out of hand. Too often we’re called
after a favorite plant or one with sentimental value has died, when
recognition of a problem and a simple treatment would have saved it.Contact
us to give your plants, turf, trees, shrubs or
herbaceous perennials, a chance to thrive for years.
Lawn Care
Your lawn can be the focal point of your landscape or an
accent for well designed planting. It’s really a matter of personal
preference. Either way, you’ll want to keep it healthy and attractive. Not
growing too fast or too slow as each extreme has its’ own set of problems.
Using the right combinations of organic and synthetic fertilizers is the
best way to accomplish this. It all starts with an accurate soil test
which we will require every other year. Given enough sunlight, and
with proper mowing, regular aeration and consistent watering, your lawn
will be deep green with the appropriate amount of lushness.
Our services can include:
Appropriate organic or synthetic
fertilizer
Weed and disease control as
needed.
A preventative grub control
application
A lime application to regulate
soil pH and nutrient availability
A soil test to determine nutrient
levels
Core aeration to increase water,
air and nutrient movement.
Topdressing with compost to add
organic matter and increase the number of beneficial soil
microorganisms.
Fully organic programs are
available
