LANDSCAPE DESIGN
• We strive to make our designs more diverse by using a wider variety of plant material than what is typically found in southern landscapes.
We incorporate annual and perennial accents in selected spots in the landscape to provide color without being pretentious. We also incorporate many different types of foliage for more visual impact.
• We prefer to design plants that will not out grow their surroundings. This method reduces pruning and possible deformation of plants over time.
Example: Typical landscapes most always incorporate large foundation shrubs planted too close to a structure and too close together. The landscape may look good from the start but over the years these shrubs will prove to be a chore and will eventually need to be replaced. At Hoe Down we try to avoid this practice by following the recommended planting distances.
• We can provide professional computer drawings or hand sketches of our landscape designs.

PERENNIAL AND ANNUAL ACCENTS, BORDERS & CONTAINERS
We specialize in this area of landscaping. We can design based on your color and plant preference, or let us design it.
LAWN MAINTENANCE
Includes mowing, edging, trimming of lawns & blowing hardscapes.
PRUNING
General. Regenerative. Roses. Topiary. Etc.
MULCHING
We prefer using double hammered hardwood mulch or ground pinebark based mulches. We also install "Erth Food" mulch in our flower beds. We usually don't recommend pinestraw except in landscapes that have mostly pine trees, or it is requested by the client.
FERTILIZATION
We handle flower and shrub fertilization but do not currently handle lawn fertilization and weed control.
