Our Landscape Maintenance Services
Bed & Gravel Maintenance
We offer three garden bed and gravel maintenance programs to keep your property looking beautiful. Our professional landscapers will visit your property biweekly during the spring, summer, and fall months, and monthly during the winter to keep your beds in top condition all year long.
Essential Bed Maintenance
Our technicians maintain your beds throughout the year to prevent weeds and debris. They’ll also help with weed control, trimming back and cleaning up perennials to prevent overgrowth and die back, plant and shrub fertilization, debris cleanup, hard raking, and mulch fluffing to keep your beds beautiful year-round.
Premium Bed Maintenance
In addition to all the services we include in our essential bed maintenance program, we also provide shrub and tree pruning services as needed throughout the year. Your beds will never look better, and you’ll never have to worry about overgrown shrubbery or ornamental trees again!
Gravel Maintenance
Whether you have a gravel parking area, driveway, walkway, or rock garden, we can maintain your gravel beds on a regular schedule to keep them clean, clear of weeds, and easy to walk on.
Please note that the frequency of this service may differ from how often we need to maintain your garden beds.
Mulching
We can lay down fresh bark mulch in your garden beds to mitigate the growth of weeds and protect the roots of your garden plants. Our mulching experts use two different types of bark mulch that are native to the Pacific Northwest—black composted mulch and medium fir mulch. Both of these mulches are free of dyes and chemicals, making an attractive and natural backdrop for your entire garden.
Pruning & Trimming Services
Pruning and trimming are essential parts of our residential landscape maintenance services near you, alongside our lawn care services. Doing so allows your plants to stay healthy and maintain their beauty and appeal. Whether you need annual hedge trimming or other seasonal pruning services, North County Landscape is here to help.
We take pride in caring for your trees and shrubs so you can enjoy coming home to a neat, tidy landscape of well-maintained ornamental shrubs, trees, and grasses.
Cleanups & Enhancements
Whether it’s trimming back overgrown flower beds, cleaning up and disposing of seasonal leaves, or a specialized yard cleanup ahead of selling your home, our crews will go above and beyond to give you impressive and lasting results.
