Planting
Well executed planting projects start with appropriate site evaluation, design, and plant selection. Site conditions and after care are just
as important. Twin Beech Garden Consulting can help choose the correct flowers, plants and trees to fit your plans.
Weeding
Cultivating and weeding are unpleasant tasks for most gardeners. We love the beautiful flowers and the fresh vegetables, the "end result".
Trust in the experience of Twin Beech Garden Consulting to help with this chore. To successfully control the weeds in your garden, you have
to learn to recognize them when they are young. It helps to understand how and when weeds grow to keep the garden clean and weed free. When
weeds are small, regular cultivation will control them easily. If you let them become established, getting rid of weeds will be a struggle.
Some of the weeds are pretty to look upon, little flowers brightly colored, such as dandelions, makes one contemplate why we are trying to
replace their splendor with a periwinkle or petunia. However, with that idea out the window, the gloves pulled on, the tools removed from the
shed, we shall march on to victory over the "weeds".
Mulching
Adding mulch to your garden will improve the health of the soil and beautify the appearance of your landscaping. Cover garden beds with a layer
of mulch to keep weeds down and reduce the need for water. Annual weed seeds are less likely to sprout when the soil is covered with enough mulch to keep the soil surface in the dark.
Low Pruning
Whatever its age, a tree recovers better and quicker from a series of small pruning cuts than it does from one big cut. And whatever its age, always have the tree's natural form uppermost in
your mind. Let us help you in deciding if a branch union is "unnaturally narrow" or just as nature intended it to be.
Border Rejuvenation
We never tear our borders to pieces and start all over again. Traditionally, this has been a widespread practice, repeated every three or four
years. Unless your borders are in a terrible mess and riddled with some pernicious perennial weed, a piecemeal treatment is far to be preferred.
One good reason for getting busy is if the ground is starved. This often shows up in the quality of your weeds. If they look pinched and unhappy,
something must be wrong.
Design
Designing a garden can be an overwhelming task. What flowers to plant next to what herbs. Can you mix vegtables with herbs? What flowers keep insects
and deer away? Twin Beech Garden Consulting will sit down with you and go through all your options to make your dream garden come true!
Herb & Vegetable
The gardening of herbs is as old as civilization. The earliest known writings of nearly every culture include references to herbs used for preparing and
preserving food, scenting the air, or treating wounds and illness.
Nothing tastes better than home grown fruits & vegetables. The key to organic gardening is keeping a healthy balance in your garden.
Prevent problems, rather than treating for them after the fact. Healthy plants are better able to withstand pests than stressed plants.
Garden Advice
Twin Beech Garden Consulting is available for consulting on a range of topics.
