Landscape and More: Everything You Need to Know

When dealing with a sloped landscape, finding the right balance between functional structural support and visual appeal is key. For a recent project in Mt. Washington, KY, our team was tasked with stabilizing an eroded, sloping area and creating a clean, finished look for the home’s exterior. Retaining wall construction requires the proper base first to ensure the integrity and longevity of the wall. We prepped the base area and levelled the proper drainage stone to carefully create this retaining wall. The finished wall creates a beautiful structure while providing the much needed support as well. Whether you want to build a wall extension, a landscape feature, or anything else requiring pavers or retaining walls, give us a call today to schedule your project at 502-499-7841 or simply request service here  today!

Having handled snow and ice management for Pearson’s Funeral Home in St. Matthews, KY for many years, we were thrilled when they recently reached out to us to renovate the main entrance sign area. A commercial property’s exterior sets the tone for every visitor who arrives. For Pearson's Funeral Home, creating a warm, peaceful, and welcoming environment is especially important. We removed all of the outdated and overgrown shrubs around the sign and prepped for the new installation while keeping the two mature shrubs on either side of the sign that created a nice frame for the space. We installed a variety of plants and shrubs including Nandinas, Bobo Hydrangeas, Daylillies, Salvias, Liriope, Coneflowers, and Daisies for a variety of heights, colors, and blooms. We installed Grade “A” Cedar mulch and the transformation was stunning. Even an employee came out before our crew left to share how beautiful he thought the landscaping was after installation. Your business’s entrance and street facing landscaping should make the right statement. WLS offers full service commercial property maintenance for businesses throughout the Louisville areas.

New lawn starter fertilizer is a specialized fertilizer that is higher in Phosphorous. Why is that important for your lawn? This fertilizer application provides a higher concentration of Phosphorous and balanced nutrients to your newly germinating grass plants' roots to help them develop more deeply, more quickly. It is quite literally food for your grass plants to maximize growth and establishment of the new turf. Can't I just use regular fertilizer? Not really. Often they are too high in nitrogen for new grass plants which are more delicate. A new lawn starter fertilizer is blended to specifically support new grass plants. We include the new lawn starter fertilizer application automatically with our fall power seeding and recommend it after broadcast seeding. The time for seeding your lawn in the Louisville area is limited - call or text us today to get on our schedule before we're fully booked for the season! Call or text (502) 499‑7841 or contact us today to reserve your spot and give your lawn the support it needs now!

We often get asked what is the best thing I can do for my lawn in the fall? And while each lawn has different needs, if your lawn is in overall good health, the best thing you can do is aerate and broadcast seed.  Fall is the ideal time for this service in the Louisville area because we’ve got reduced weed pressure, cooler temperatures, and an ideal soil temperature for seed germination.
