New and renovated planting beds with prepared soil, layered plants, edging and mulch that stay tidy and healthy through the seasons.
Planting beds soften the hard edges of patios, walls and houses. The difference between a bed that thrives and one that struggles is usually what happens before the plants go in: soil prepared for clay, plants chosen for the light, and mulch laid at the right depth. Nashville owners redo beds to freshen the front yard or to wrap a new patio with color and texture.
Your designer shapes the bed outline, picks plants for sun and shade, and plans height layers with taller plants at the back and edges that curve smoothly. The crew clears the bed, improves the soil, sets plants at the right depth and spacing, installs edging and finishes with a layer of mulch. The scope lists the plants, soil work, edging and a simple watering plan. Maintenance is part of the plan. A quick weekly look, an occasional trim and a mulch refresh each year keep beds tidy, and we leave a short plant list with watering and pruning notes for each season.
Clay soil is loosened and improved with compost so roots can grow and water can drain.
Plants are chosen for the light, space and moisture of each bed, which cuts losses and care.
Taller plants, mid-size shrubs and low groundcovers are spaced for mature size so beds look full without crowding.
A few inches of mulch, kept off trunks and stems, holds moisture and suppresses weeds.
