BED MAINTENANCE SERVICES

SAVE TIME AND AGGRAVATION WITH FLOWER & SHRUB BED MAINTENANCE

Forget spending time on your hands and knees pulling weeds out of your landscape. Those days are over with Safari Tree's bed maintenance program that will save your knees and cost a lot less than a landscaper. Combine Safari Tree bed mainteance with your lawn program from Lush Lawn and start enjoying spring and summer in Michigan! Applications are done every 4 to 6 weeks to make sure your beds and landscape borders get the proper treatment they deserve.  

Round 1 − May/June

• We use a premium pre-emergent that cannot be purchased from local lawn and garden retailers
  

Round 2 − June/July 

• If necessary, we address any weeds that resisted round 1 treatment with a post-emergent.  These weeds will begin to curl and dies within 48 hours

Round 3 −July/August 

• Beds will again be treated for weeds that won't go away. Weeds that do exist will curl off and die within 48 hours

Round 4 − August/September

• Pre-emergent is applied to prevent fall weeds. Combined with round 2, this will build a year long-barrier

Round 5 − Early Fall 

• The last application is designed to eliminate any weeds that survived the summer heat and are attempting to establish their roots for fall
  

Combined with pruning, dead-heading and grooming plants, regular bed mainteance is important for multiple reasons:

1. Weed Control. Weeds compete with flowers and shrubs for nutrients, water and sunlight, which can inhibit their growth and overall health
2. Pest and Disease Management. Safari Tree technicians are trained to identify and address pest infestations or diseases early on to help prevent the spread of pathogens
3. Aesthetic Appeal.  Well-maintained beds enhance the overall appearance of a landscape to increase your curb appeal
4. Encouraging Growth. Proper maintenance, including fertilization as needed, encourages healthy growth and flowering in plants.
5. Air Circulation and Sunlight. Regular maintenance helps to improve air circulation and sunlight penetration within the bed. This can reduce the risk of fungal diseases and promote better plant health
6. Long-term Health. Consistent bed maintenance contributes to the long-term health and longevity of plants. By addressing issues promptly and providing necessary care, we can help ensure that your flowers and shrubs thrive for years to come
