Greenthumbs Gardens & Grounds

Greenthumbs Gardens & Grounds Greenthumbs Gardens & Grounds specializes in providing Landscape Design, Installation, & Maintenance for residential and commercial clients.

Greenthumbs Gardens & Grounds specializes in providing first-class grounds keeping services for clients with residential, commercial and/or industrial properties. Our goal is to offer the finest quality grounds care service and advice possible. Free Consultation

We like to schedule a free preliminary consultation with all of our prospective clients, in order to become better informed on how we ma

y best meet a client's grounds care needs. Following a comprehensive walk-and-talk, we are confident we can provide sound guidance on how to address the client's' site specific needs. Generally speaking, the majority of our jobs can be separated into two distinct types, Maintenance and Restoration. Maintenance

Ordinarily, the maintenance job consists of providing regular care for established plants and existing landscape designs on an as needed basis. Regular maintenance may include, but is not limited to, tasks such as pruning trees and shrubs, weeding and redefining beds and borders, reapplying mulch, watering, transplanting, raking leaves, mowing the lawn, treating and/or removing diseased or dying plants, and replacing dead or overgrown plants. Regular maintenance visits could be scheduled as often as once a week, or as rare as twice a year, such as in spring and fall. We leave it up to our customers to decide how often is right for them. Restoration

Commonly a restoration is required in order to bring new life back into a long neglected yard or garden. In addition to the tidying up and reviving of existing design schemes, new ideas are proposed and developed, in order to better accentuate the existing plantings. Primarily, upon the completion of the restoration, our role is finished, and the customer will take on the normal day to day maintenance chores. However, we are always willing to continue to serve our clients, therefore many of our restoration jobs turn into regular maintenance accounts at the customers’ request. Values

At Greenthumbs Gardens & Grounds we stress environmentally friendly as well as economically sound gardening practices. These include planting for birds, insects, small mammals and other wildlife, promoting the use of shade trees to cut heating and cooling costs, onsite composting, mulching to protect and build good soils, crop rotation, companion planting, selecting plants that perform well in urban settings, water conservation, eradicating invasive species, and eliminating the use of synthetic fertilizers, herbicides and pesticides. Most importantly, helping clients select their favorite plants from among those most suitable for their property. Greenthumbs Gardens & Grounds invites you to look into your grounds maintenance needs and allow us to be of service to you this year. Jobs can be completed from spring thru autumn. Consultations may be scheduled year round.

Half the bugs people panic over and spray are the ones doing the pest control for free.
Each of these is a predator or a parasite of the pests that actually damage your plants. A garden full of them needs almost no spray — because the spray is what wipes them out first.

- Ladybug — Adult and Larva Both Hunt
The adult eats aphids. The spiny black-and-orange larva eats MORE aphids — up to 200 before it pupates. Also eats mites and soft scale. The larva looks like a tiny alligator and most people kill it because they don't recognize it. Learn what it looks like.

- Green Lacewing — The Aphid Lion
The adult is a delicate green insect attracted to porch lights. The larva is the weapon — called an "aphid lion," it clears aphids, mites, and pest eggs by the hundreds. One larva eats 200+ aphids before pupating. The adult drinks nectar. The larva does the killing.

- Hoverfly — Pollinator and Predator in One Lifecycle
The adult looks like a small bee but doesn't sting — a harmless mimic that pollinates your flowers. The larva is a translucent slug-like creature that eats entire aphid colonies overnight. Two jobs from one insect, split between life stages.

- Parasitic Wasp — Tiny, Harmless to You, Devastating to Pests
Most are smaller than a grain of rice. They lay eggs inside caterpillars, aphids, and whiteflies. The larvae consume the host from within. The white cocoons on a hornworm's back are parasitic wasp pupae — the wasp already won. Never kill a parasitized caterpillar.

- Ground Beetle — The Night Shift
Works after dark when you're inside. Patrols the soil surface eating slugs, cutworms, and root maggots. You rarely see them because they hide under mulch and debris during the day. A garden with ground beetles has fewer slug problems without a single pellet of bait.

- Soldier Beetle — The Soft Red-and-Black One
Soft wing covers, typically orange-red and black. Eats aphids on your flower heads while simultaneously pollinating. Harmless. Abundant in late summer on goldenrod and yarrow. People swat them thinking they're pests. They're not.

- Minute Pirate Bug — The Speck-Sized Assassin
Two to three millimeters long. Barely visible. Destroys thrips, spider mites, and pest eggs — the tiny pests that are nearly impossible to control with sprays. Commercial greenhouses BUY these. Your garden can grow them for free if you stop spraying.

Before you reach for a bottle, look closer. Some of those bugs are the reason you don't have more.
