Our Shrub & Tree services have proven to promote and maintain healthy plant growth and development. This rigorous preventative management program, along with proper IPM (Integrated Pest Management) practices, will minimize insect and disease damage. Throughout the year we thoroughly inspect for a wide variety of insects and diseases that commonly affect ornamental shrubs and tree plantings. In the event we find insect or disease activity nearing damaging levels, we will apply controls as necessary.

At Carolina Creations Landscapes, Inc., we consider ourselves stewards of the environment. Therefore, we prefer to use products that are less likely to have questionable effects on the landscape and beneficial insects. Our preferred method of control interrupts plant damaging insects and the proliferation of plant disease, before reaching threatening levels. Through such practice we can significantly reduce the need for more curative controls.

Mulch is not only aesthetically pleasing but also serves many important functions. Proper mulch application affords your landscape the ability to naturally retain water and moisture in the soil. It also is a successful way to aid in the suppression of weed growth, foster healthy plant development, and control erosion.

There are many different mulch options available on the market today. The most popular options can be placed in two general categories, Pine Straw and Hardwood Mulch. Both of these options have numerous varieties to choose from depending on preference of color, purpose, and cost.

We strongly recommend a minimum of one (1) application of natural material each year. Although, depending on your specific site requirements and your personal tastes additional application may be necessary. Let Carolina Creations Landscapes, Inc., assist you with your selection.
