Landscape Renovation: Plants that Litter

There's no need to put up with plants that litter or create extra maintenance burdens! For example, 

●  Black Locust has thorny branches and large, twisting, toxic pods

●  Mimosa, also called Silk Tree, has brittle wood and seeds prolifically

●  Cottonwood and other poplars are short-lived and susceptible to insect and disease problems, with messy, windblown seeds

● Female Gingko fruits litter the sidewalk and smell terrible (but male cultivars are excellent)  

Crabapple LandscapExperts can  remove these messy trees and replace them with recommended trees or a landscape renovation that will increase the beauty in your property's landscape.

●  Foot traffic that has worn a path across the grass and compromised turf grass

●  Poor pruning in the past that has resulted in misshapen trees and shrubs 

Eliminate unsightly plant-related problems and make your landscape more inviting to residents.

Landscape Renovation: Analyzing Aesthetic + Visual Problems

If Disagreeable Sights are causing your property, apartment community or residential neighborhood to have a dysfunctional landscape, ask Crabapple LandscapExperts for some suggestions on how to screen or redirect your focus. Dog runs, garbage areas and street signage can all be screened or masked.

Unsightly views can be reduced, hidden or attention can be diverted from them to another focal point. The LandscapExperts will consider all views from within the building as well as outdoors and give you a livable solution.

Landscape Renovation: Analyzing Aesthetic + Visual Problems

Need a little extra oomph in your property’s landscape? A Sparse or Disfigured Landscape may be the dilemma, and your LandscapExperts at Crabapple can spot this quickly and correct landscape omissions.

Older landscapes may be dominated by evergreens that don’t offer the seasonal color and variation available with new plant introductions and cultivars. The LandscapExperts consider bark texture, berry color, fall foliage as well as flowers and variegated foliage in their plans.

Some parts of the landscape may simply have worn out. If a lawn has been heavily trafficked or if trees have been the object of vandalism or abuse (swinging on branches; bulletin board effect when trunks are used as posts for signs) they may need hard pruning or replacement. Ask Crabapple LandscapExperts for some new ideas.
