Earthworks Landscaping Company

Planting

Our extensive resources (local and national) allow us to find the best plant material for your home, garden, or estate.   We hand select your plants, protect them during delivery to your home, and then install them in well amended planting beds prepared by our landscape crew.  Your plants are fertilized during installation and watered appropriately throughout the project.  We use only triple-shredded hardwood bark mulch for our planting beds.  Other planting services that we offer are:

  • Large-scale new shrub and tree installation
  • Transplanting large and small shrubs and trees
  • Native and sustainable plantings
  • Seasonal plantings and rotations
  • Bulb installation
