An Atlanta Landscape Gem

One of my all time favorite Atlanta Landscape trees is the Redbud. Cercis Canadensis is a small spring flowering tree with a vibrant pink flower that is nearly unrivaled. Right now they are filling the woodland borders of landscapes all over North Georgia. They are pretty much care free and there are several varieties to choose from. Forest Pansy is a variety with red leaves which adds another dimension to its timeless appeal. If you would like to add some of these Atlanta Landscape gems to your landscape give us a call.

Overlooked Atlanta Landscape Plant

In my professional opinion Liriope is one of the most overlooked Atlanta Landscape plants. At least from a maintenance standpoint. This time of the year Liriope is flushing out from the ground and soon will send up purple flower spikes that can be quite striking against its dark green or variegated foliage. But we in the industry tend to take this hardy little ground cover for granted. Thinking we don't really need to maintain it at all. And though that may be the case most of the time I think that Liriope at least deserves a little fertilizer in the spring to keep it healthy and green. So while your out there making your spring fertilizer applications remember to spread a little of the love on the Liriope. It will thank you. And dont forget to call Thrive Land Care for all your Atlanta Landscaping needs this spring. 678-667-1126 or chris@thrivelandcare.com.

Atlanta Landscape Surprise

Its amazing how every where you turn there is something to enjoy in the Atlanta Landscape. I found these beauties in front of a local church where my son attends cub scouts. Beautiful blue flowers are rare indeed. Moral of this post. Make sure you take some time to really enjoy the beauty or our diverse Landscape. We are indeed lucky here in Atlanta to have a great climate for a wide variety of plant material. And no matter how busy Professional Landscapers are this time of year we all need to slow down for a few minutes to remember why it is we do what we do.

Wow! I caught this great picture on one of our Atlanta Properties today. Beautiful Seasonal color, glowing green Fescue Turf and a fresh application of Pinestraw. It doesn't get any better than this for an Atlanta Commercial Landscape. It takes a lot of work to get a landscape looking this good. Proper Fertilization, Insect and disease control, planting and seeding, winter pruning and a score of other maintenance tasks performed by a Quality Landscape Service provider is the best way to achieve a look this good.

Moss In Your Turf

During the winter and Early spring it is very easy to see if you have moss growing in your dormant perennial grasses such as Zoysia and Bermuda. Moss loves shady and moist areas. If you have these conditions the best way to control the moss is to limb up some trees and cut back on the irrigation or try to improve the drainage in the area. As well try pulling a soil sample to see if your PH is low. If so a good application of lime will also help considerably. A professional Landscape Company can help you out with solving your moss problems. Give us a call for all your Landscape needs. Thrive Land Care. 678-667-1126 or chris@thrivelandcare.com.

Atlanta Landscape Alert

The Aphids are out and in full swing in the Atlanta Landscape. It is time to be closely monitoring your Winter Color beds for these little buggers. Aphids are small insects that will suck the life out of your Pansies and Violas before it is time to plant your summer flowers. They leave behind honeydew that will quickly turn into black sooty mold and your flowers will look terrible. A good treatment now will help keep these little guys in check until it is time to pull out your winter color and replace with some fresh new ones for the summer. And as always we can help you out with either. Give us a call! Thrive Land Care. 678-667-1126 or chris@thrivelandcare.com.
