Brentwood Tn Lawn Care
Brentwood lawn care mowing schedule is 31 visits a year. Mowing is done on a schedule that changes with the seasons. Our partners who provide lawn care services recognize that have a yearly drought that makes Lawn Care difficult. We have snow falls on average twice a year which makes warm season grasses die or go dormant. We also live in an ancient sea bed so our soil is limestone ( sea shells ) and clay. So as a consequence we need aeration, fertilization, and seeding each year.

Comments Off on Winter shade blooming groundcover for Tennessee Rue Anemone ( Thalictrum thalictroides )
Rue Anemone ( Thalictrum thalictroides )
What a wonderful low growing ground cover for shade areas during winter in Tennessee.
Beautiful white flowers and delicate split leaves make this an attractive groundcover.
A great find I wanted to share.
I was visiting one of my completed projects and found this pretty low growing ground cover blooming away happily in a shade environment under some trees around the roots. This plant grows during winter and blooms just before spring. I know I said wow too. A link to more information is below:

All Organic Curb Appeal
We recently did a project we are calling
(All Organic Curb Appeal).
The photos posted here are from a Nashville client that requested an all organic approach to the installation of the design we created for them.
The soil that was added to the beds was a leaf compost / soil mix. We also added 7 bags of all organic compost to the beds which was tilled in.
This project included interesting modern plants like (Silver Scrolls Heuchera), and (Compressa Junipers) to frame the walkway at the entrance. Now this Nashville Residents’ home has an upscale feel while also being easy to care for with low maintenance
plants that are also drought tolerant.
The Coral Bells ( Heuchera Silver Scrolls ) ties the whole landscape together. With Hosta and Hydrangea for shade, the light requirements were taken into account for all plantings. Most modern landscape plants are acidic. We also used Pinestraw Mulch because it breaks down acidic while aerating the soil with organic matter.
We want to do your all organic curb appeal landscaping in the Nashville Middle Tn area.

Comments Off on Perennial flower bed
This page is an invitation to create
your own Nashville Perennial Bed.
Pink Butterfly Bush Bloom – Perennial
The Nashville Tn area has it’s own climate and dificulties with having a great garden. Perennial Beds are areas you have separated for growing your plants that will return from year to year as the seasons change. Perennials emerge from the ground in Spring, fill out to their full sizes at different times during the growing season and bloom at the appropriate time. If you plan careflully you can have a succession of blooming plants all season long.
Gardners Need a Potting Station
Here on this page is a list of plants you can use and some basic information about them. A list and some photos of Perennials that work well in our area, and a description of how to make a perennial bed.
Using Perennials is a Green Landscaping Tip.
Perennials return year after year without replanting.
Shape
To build a perennial garden bed you will have to mark out an area large enough to fit your full grown perennial plants. Mark out your area with a garden hose or piece of rope. Perennial Garden Location and Shape. Area
To get an approximate area mulitiply your lenghth times your width. If your area is irregular break it up into smaller squares and measure those areas and add them together for your total. For instance if you have a peanut shaped area take the two larger circular type areas and make two squares and add them together. Decide on what type of location you have such at Sun- 5 to 8 hours of Direct Full Sun, Partial- under 5 hours of direct sun but more than 2 hours, or Shade which will be under trees with only filtered light, north side of your home, or under 2 hours of direct sunlight. Chose plants appropriate to your type of area. Then Design your space placing the larger plants in groupings toward the middle if an island or at the back if there is something larger to one side. Give the appearance of a tiered effect. Read up on each plant paying careful attention to the space it needs to grow to full size. Soil
Here in Tennessee you won’t have a problem if you need plenty of lime or clay in your perennial beds but chances are that most of the plants you will choose would prefer a different soil. Read about each plant you pick to find out what it likes in a soil and location conditions. Most people tend to think of plants just wanting to be outside and in the ground but sometimes it is a little more complicated than that. Ask the nursery you buy the plant from about the plant or just read up about it online from a trusted source. Then buy the soil that will make your plants grow abundantly and put it down in the appropriate amounts. Blooms
Many perennials make flowers so choose carefully which plant you choose.

Past Pennsylvania Ashlar and Rubble Stone Fireplace Project
This was a fantastic project we completed several years ago in Murfreesboro Tennessee. In a back yard that leads to a pool area we were hired to make a Pennsylvania flagstone patio / walkway, and natural stone rubble stack fireplace. The first image is of the completed job and the rest of the photos show the job in progress. Next to make the benches, grout and clean and seal the patio/walkway.
The next few images are showing the project as it was in progress.
Pennsylvania stone patio and fireplace photos of job in progress.
Pennsylvania stone goes by Pennsylvania Flagstone, or this patio could be called a Pennsylvania Ashlar Pattern Patio. Ashlar is the pattern the stone is laid out in and you know it is Pennsylvania because when you stand back there is a bluey green color on the overall surface. The clean lines and natural patterns of the stone make it a fantastic contrast between natural stone’s organic patterns and clean diamond cut straight lines. Much like how a granite counter top has that play of organic patterns but being man made with straight lines.
Project photos below.
Thank you
Thank you for looking at one of my projects. I hope you learned something about Pennsylvania stone and would even consider using it on your property.
The below image is a different Pennsylvania stone project image.
Please call me if you have any questions in the Nashville, Murfreesboro, Brentwood, Franklin, Spring Hill, and Nolensville TN areas.

Comments Off on Recently Completed
Some past landscape related projects below:
A random collection of past design images coupled with images of the completed project or in progress with a music video I helped with.
First image and video
This first image and video go together as a couple. What you are seeing in the first grouping of three photos is me at a scene we helped create for a music video and what it looks like behind the scenes at that video.
Music Video Project
Keith Urban Malibu Beach Scene.
A music video was filmed on a beach in California and when it was done they still needed more scenes for the video so a very talented person was hired to bring an authentic Malibu Beach feel to a studio. I was asked to find boulders to match Malibu, after texting several images of boulders from driving all over town the higher ups agreed on a couple of large ones I sent in. We were asked to help and we wound up providing the boulders and a few yards of sand. The gracious people who put the whole thing together allowed me to hang around during filming and I had a blast. The above image are three photos I think they wouldn’t mind me sharing. Scenes are after 3:25 on the video.
Next is a Stone Patio and Cedar Arbor project
This video runs a little long because it was one of my earlier videos of my projects. This job was a real joy the customer had a 3 level deck that we took apart and installed a gorgeous flagstone patio with an amazing cedar arbor. Take a look.
Stone patio project with Cedar Arbor
The next set of three images are a beautiful flagstone patio with fire pit back yard I designed

All images below this point are the graphic landscape design images used to perform the above project.
The seating will move to your liking and be more curved.
Thank you so much for looking at some of my past projects. I hope you enjoyed my sharing enough to give me a like or share with your friends. Have a great day.

This project is for a client in Smyrna Tn. The first image is just the home.
In this next image we have added a flagstone walkway and small patio for under the swing.
In this last image we are suggesting taking the grass area that is between the walkway and driveway and converting it to beds. This would be a more modern look.

Below I have added some evergreens under the windows with knockout roses along with a Blue spruce near the driveway. Lets talk about these plants and the e-mail I sent you.

Nashville Japanese Maples
Sango Kaku or Coral Bark Japanese Maple
#1 Coral Bark Japanese Maple
Japanese maple ‘Sango Kaku’ (fall bark color below)”
Photo Located at: Site Bark Color
Video Below of Partial Shade Sango Kaku ( Coral Bark Japanese Maple )
Image from http://www.mendocinomaples.com Acer palmatum ‘Sango kaku’ The Japanese name means ‘coral tower ’. More commonly known as the Coral Bark Japanese Maple.
Call us today and we will Buy, Deliver and Install your Coral Bark (Sango Kaku) Japanese Maple anywhere in the Middle Tennessee Nashville Area. The Coral Bark Japanese Maple is deserving of much wider use. It has year round appeal, highlighted in winter when the stems and branches turn fluorescent coral in color. The new growth leaf color is a bright green and the fall color is a yellow-gold tinged with red. This is an upright tree with a twiggy growth habit that prefers partial sun to shade. It will grow 15 – 18′ tall and spread 6 – 8′ wide This information was from http://www.gardenheights.com
Acer palmatum dissectum ‘Viridis’ Japanese Maple Viridis
#2 Japanese Maple Viridis Fall ( First ) and Spring Color Below
Green laceleaf, threadleaf, or cutleaf weeping Japanese maple (Acer palmatum dissectum ‘Viridis’) matures to a naturally formal mounded cascading weeper. It can be pruned for a “mushroom cap” appearance, or left unpruned so that its branches weep clear to the ground.
Call us today we will Buy, Deliver, and Install your Beautiful Japanese Maple (Viridis) anywhere in the Middle Tn Nashville area. 615-715-8216
It reaches six feet in ten years. It can be trained via staking to be grow taller. It will be much wider than it is tall, likely ten or twelve feet wide in ten years, though artful pruning year by year can limit its size, & it is even a popular bonzai item. It likes moist well-draining soil, never too wet. It needs at least a little bit of afternoon shade or its delicately lacy leaves will be burned. Varieties with wider leaf-types would be more apt to be tolerant of full sun, though young Japanese maples are in essence semi-shade trees, & laceleaf varieties tend to be overall more sun-sensitive. Mulching is useful to help keep the fibrous root system moist in summer. It can be grown in zones 6 through 8, but becomes delicate in zones with warmer summers. It has red-highlighted orange-gold autumn colors, holding its wondrously colorful leaves for several weeks before falling. These golden colors are very distinct from the autumn crimsons of purple-leaf maples, so ‘Viridis’ can be a marvelous contrast-companion with something like its red twin ‘Crimson Queen.’ Their leaves will provide startling contrasts spring through autumn.
