Since the completion of the home our company has maintained this property. Originally built by a local builder as a speculation home, it was purchased by two busy professionals. Why is this important? Let's just say the clients are particular and like it when things aren't just so. Both have high level careers, travel often and expect their landscape to be pristine. Year after year our company rises to this challenge. When originally installed, the builder wanted larger plant material to provide a full and mature look. The continued growth provides a pruning challenge, especially when the client prefers a clean, neat and "compact" landscape. We continually monitor growth and hand prune accordingly, including yearly winter pruning. The backyard is particularly difficult due to the shade, moisture run-off from neighboring properties. The turf requires constant monitoring and adjustment to the irrigation system. The trees create a mess requiring clean up along with yearly power washing of the stone. While the challenges are many, the fine maintenance has led to happy clients and numerous referrals.

Island in the front of the yard needed de-weeding, mulching and the application of chemical weed control. You may notice the Dandelions in the front yard curling from a chemical application the previous day. The main hedge was shaped to provide a more uniform appearance.

Just after installation - so all plant material is small - but after a couple of years of growth, and some simple pruning, the hedges will create a simple contemporary space for play and enjoyment.

The strict form of the espalier apple trees are softened with nepeta planted at their base. To keep the trees in fruit, the horizontal branches are pruned annually to eliminate vertical growth.
