The Landscape Walk Through 

A job site walk through with your Commercial Landscape Company or assigned account manager is essential from time to time, this helps keep the lines of communication open assisting everyone to stay focused on your goals and desires.

Why Tree Stakes?

Young trees in the wild grow strong naturally, without the help of stakes. In the woods, trees grow up in the shelter of taller trees and are not affected by wind. According to the University of Davis, young trees develop strong roots and trunks before they expend energy in growing vertically, and don't need staking. If you've planted a young tree in an open, windy environment, you may need to stake it until its roots are strong enough to anchor it properly.

Winter is Prime Planting Season for Trees, Shrubs, Vines and Annual Flowers for office landscape maintenance. They often establish more quickly when they are in the cool winter season. The cooler weather allows the plants root system to acclimate more quickly from transplant shock.
