Professional and affordable Monthly Garden Bed Maintenance in Queensbury and The Surrounding Areas
You’ve put both time and money into getting your flower and garden beds looking awesome with mulch and plants. It’s all exciting and visually stunning at first, but sometimes, it turns into a bit of a “set-it-and-forget-it” type situation. After a few weeks, you might start to see a couple of sneaky weeds popping up and notice some plants looking a bit ragged.
Our monthly service is designed to ensure your beds stay fresh and vibrant throughout the entire season. Let us take care of the details so you can enjoy a consistently beautiful landscape.
Performing routine garden bed maintenance on your beds not only keeps the original integrity of the design but will also prevent your flower beds from looking prematurely dated. Your landscape is alive and ever changing, but plants and garden beds are easy to maintain as long as periodic attention is paid to their specific requirements.
Our flower and garden bed maintenance is a separate service from mulching and trimming.
With this service we will perform the following once each month:
- Weeding of entire beds
- Applying a weed preventer (e.g. Preen)
- Making sure the edge of the bed is maintained
- Cultivating (turning over) existing mulch
- Pruning (not trimming) of existing plants
**IMPORTANT**
The initial service may cost more due to the extra work to get the beds into shape.
Monthly garden bed maintenance is crucial to preserving your landscape. If neglected, fast growing weeds will rob your plants of nutrients and will eventually overtake your garden and flower beds. The longer weeds remain in your flower beds, the harder (and more expensive) it will be to remove them.
With time, as your plants mature, less bed maintenance will be required. However, your landscape will never be maintenance free as it’s alive and always changing.
Frequently Asked Questions regarding garden bed maintenance

Once a month. Every month we will go through your beds and remove any weeds, turn over existing mulch, prune any odd growth on plants, fix edging where your beds meet the lawn, and apply a weed preventer to keep as many weeds as possible at bay.
ABSOLUTELY! Putting down a layer of mulch will not only keep weeds at bay and retain moisture but will also provide nutrients to your plants because of the added soil amendments to the mulch.
NO. Because every bed is different in size, amount of plants, etc. it is impossible to have a set price for everyone. Also, so there are no surprises, the initial service may cost more due to the extra work to get the bed into shape.
