Sometimes Bradenton landscaping just needs a few little tweaks to look next-level.
Don’t get me wrong, we love a big landscape makeover—from consulting with the owners, planning the designs, and creating digital mockups to rounding up all the plants and gear and getting everything planted just right.
But so many landscapes in Bradenton are so close to looking elite. They just need a few tweaks from a professional landscaping company to go from good to great.
Here at Big South, we’re not down with heavy-handed sales tactics or pushing big upgrades. In fact, we’re happy to show you how a few little changes can still give you the landscape you’ve always dreamed of.
Here are some relatively small projects that can make a big difference on your property.
Rock Refresh
Rocks and shells are a ubiquitous part of Bradenton landscaping. Not only do they offer a low-maintenance accent piece for your yard’s green spaces, but they’re also incredibly handy for paths and driveways.
One of the big advantages of using rocks and shells instead of pavement is their ability to adapt to the landscape. Pavement needs to be precisely prepared and laid, and even then it can crack as the ground shifts or roots push through. Rocks, on the other hand, stay level—even when the ground isn’t.
That being said, rocks and crushed shells can dissipate over time. They might sink into the soil, spread out, or just get ground into dust by vehicles if they’re being used for driveways or parking spaces.
The good news is, a fresh new layer of rock is super easy, and wow does it make a big difference! (Also true of fresh mulch, by the way.)
Trimming and Pruning
Sometimes the struggle with Bradenton landscapes isn’t so much getting the plants to grow; it’s keeping them in check.
Precise, perfectly manicured landscapes and expertly shaped trees and shrubs are great if you’re down for the regular attention it takes to maintain them. But even if you don’t attend to your plants on a weekly basis with a ruler and level, you can still see a huge difference from a periodic trim.
Shrubs don’t have to be scared off; they can just be tidied up. Same goes for trees, plus you’ll allow more sunshine to nurture your plants. And palm trees especially look loads better when you remove all those hanging dead fronds.
New Edging
Edging and borders are great for drawing a crisp, clean line between your lush lawn and your beautiful flower beds. But many edging materials, especially real wood and the common, inexpensive plastic edging, fade over time in the Florida sun. And thanks to our soft, sandy soil, edging often shifts, which noticeably detracts from those formerly clean, distinct lines. Your eye is drawn right to them.
That’s why new edging is such a simple solution for a landscaping refresh. A few clean lines creates a pleasing sense of order.
