2020 was a totally crazy year for us between the virus and the really dry weather. Last Spring we sold out our inventory much earlier than ever before, and had trouble finding replacement stock. The summer was hard on plants and people but we made it through. Our Christmas sales of trees, wreaths, etc. ended up another sell-out in less than 2 weeks. These are strange times.
We have our plants put away for the winter, all tucked it. Who knows what kind of weather we’ll have this upcoming year???? More rain now will help our evergreens prepare for the long winter ahead. Many plants shut down early this year and shed their leaves in response to a stressful summer.
Please contact us if you have a project to do next spring or summer. Lee will be purchasing plants for the nursery over the next 2 months, so if you need a special plant, let him know.
Grading or repairing gravel or “hard-pac” driveways is a service we provide, especially in the spring. Our tracked bobcat with a ‘harley rake’ does a beautiful job of smoothing those rough gravel driveways back into shape after a tough winter. We have a vibratory roller to pack it all in. We also install new driveways and other grading projects.
We’ve been involved with many water projects including large ponds, back yard reflection pools, pondless waterfalls, and even interior pools. Water features give hours of enjoyment and adds another dimension to your yard.
We also have water lilies available at the nursery.
We are surrounded by plants that are not native to our area. Many of these plants are considered invasive and have become a serious problem for all of us.
We can help manage these invasive plants by mechanical means and/or chemical applications. If you are concerned about your invasive plants, call us and we can offer a plan to help the native plants return.
We’ve been involved in tree care for over 40 years dealing with forest management on thousands of acres to even “close encounter” forest management on less than one acre (specific data on every tree). Now we focus on “urban forestry” almost exclusively – intense tree management on smaller parcels of forest.
Tree care for home owners is increasing as the threat of invasive insects is on the rise. The Emerald Ash Borer is nearly here. So, if you have an important ash tree on your property, call us. We can help protect ash from the borer.
Our Christmas season starts the day after Thanksgiving, November 25th in 2021. We’ll have wreaths, roping, sprays, swags and trees for sale. Many of the products are made by us here at the greenhouses. Our Christmas trees are grown by us just a few miles from here – mostly Fraser Fir.
We also grow shade trees, crabapples and other ornamental trees.
