Watering- Typically lawns need about one inch of water per week. If you are watering by hand or using any for of sprinkler system, it may be hard to determine how much water your lawn is actually getting. Especially when it is hot and not raining very often or, you want to know how long it will take for you to water by hand. A great tool would be using a guage, this will tell you how much your lawn is getting. Place a small container under the area you are watering, this will give you an idea as to how much water you grass is atually getting. Mowing- It is important for the health of your lawn to keep the grass at 3" length. In the hot summer, if the grass is cut too low it could end up being brown and dry looking, even if it is watered properly. It is also important to keep the blades shap to prevent jagged edges which it turn also prevent the grass from burning in the summer. Fertilizing- There are two ways fertilizer can go in the summer time. If the roots are unstable and lawn looks unhealthy, fertilizer can damage the lawn further. The the roots are healthy and the lawn is looking fresh and full. Overall, it may be a good option to fertilize year round for the best results. Weed Control- It is a great idea to use a weed killer when young weeds are beinging to sprout. Like fertilizer though, it is important that your lawn is in healthy sustainable condition to prevent the grass from burning further. If weed killing is necessary try to apply in temperature below 85 degrees for best result.

It's Summer in New England and it's time to check your trees and shurbs for any needed attention! What's the difference between purning and trimming? -Pruning is the process of removing unneccesary branches that aren't flowering or look dead. Not only for tree mainenance, but also can sometimes be done from the dead or decaying roots. -Trimming is to allow shrubs, bushes and other plants to grow in a healthy surrounding. Trimming also can be used to make a property more appeling to the eye and offer a beautiful aesthetic. Gardenin' Angels uses high quality tools to handle all trimming and pruning needs.

We would like to formally thank each and every one of our front line works that has made handling the pandemic possible. The grace and courage that they demonstrate is impeccable and we wouldn't have come this far without them. Gardenin' Angels created a small nomination based contest to show our gratitude and appreciation on our Facebook page. We asked our friends, families, and following to nominate a front line worker that they thought deserved 5 months of free mowing services provided by us. Now, we know that all these workers deserve to win this contest, however, we chose three winners that had received the most liked comments on our page. Thank you to everyone that participated in this contest! We hope to be able to do this in the future, in order to continue to play our part in supporting our front line staff. Together, we will overcome this hectic, unpredictable time. Also, thank you to our clients and fellow contractors that continue to work with us and support the business.
Lawn mowing maintenance? We got it! Gardnein' Angels offers weekly mowing services to the Brockton, Easton, Marshfield, Canton areas as well as surrounding cities. Lawn mowing plays a vital role in maintaining the look and overall health of your lawn. Gardenin' Angels always uses freshly sharpened blades and quality equipment on each and every job. Dull blades will tear the grass instead of making a crisp and clean cut. This can leave discoloration, or ragged looking lawn disease. Another benefit of cutting the grass weekly with Gardenin' Angels is that we only cut the top 1/3 of the grass for each mowing. The reason being, is that if the grass is too short, it will burn out from lack of shades, that usually suits to provide more moisture in the soil. Having slightly taller grass also leaves for a better chance for the grass to form a deeper root system. How do you get started? Follow the "Contact Us" tab and send over your submission. We will make an appointment for your free estimate then we will send one of our trusted crew members out and give you an email that same day with your quote. Upon approval we will add you to the schedule the very next week! Please note that we are taking precautions recommended by the state and practicing a number of health regulations including social distancing. Stay safe! We look forward to hearing from you!

What are permeable pavers? Permeable pavers are paving materials used in an installation system for hardscaping surfaces. They are porous, allowing water to infiltrate through the pavers and into the ground underneath. Permeable pavers are as strong or stronger than traditional paving materials like asphalt and concrete and are just as durable. How do they work? Permeable pavers are installed with joints that are filled with gravel and are designed to allow water to penetrate their surfaces, flow into the rock base, and absorb into the ground. Other paving systems (asphalt, concrete, compacted gravel) can collect stormwater, resulting in puddles or run-off. Permeable pavers, however, allow for a more natural simulation of the ground reacting to rainwater, with rain absorption on the spot. Why are they better than traditional pavers? Hardscaped surfaces that use permeable pavers help immensely with stormwater management. They minimize water runoff and flood risks (which is typically caused by traditional paving materials like concrete, asphalt, and gravel). Runoff is dangerous for homeowners, as it can often run into basements, crawl spaces, or foundations without the homeowners' knowledge. It can also be detrimental to cities and towns, as water runoff picks up pollutants as it flows toward and into sewers. Eventually, this runoff flows into our the natural waterways. Major rainwater runoff from sever storms can overwhelm sewer systems, causing flooding or other water management issues. They can be plowed easily with no risk of damage to the paver surface. Are they more or less costly than traditional pavers? Initial costs to install permeable pavers are generally higher than traditional pavers or asphalt, but similar to concrete. The cost-benefit is based on the life cycle of the surface. There are major savings in the minimized risk of damage from runoff and flooding as well as the reduced need for sealing or replacing. While other surfaces (or underground utilities) that need repair may require a complete tear up, permeable pavers can be removed and replaced individually. Ongoing maintenance is cheap and simple. For residential properties, use a leftest blower to clear out paver joints as needed. For commercial properties, restrict debris from clogging the joints by blowing regularly and/or vacuuming surfaces every year or two. Permeable pavers are environmentally-conscious surfaces for patios, walkways, parking lots, roadways, fire lanes, driveways and other paving functions that absorb water and prevent flooding. There is something truly special about fall foliage in New England. People travel to Massachusetts from other parts of the country just to see the abundant leaves in their ruby and golden glory. Enjoy the scenery while it lasts, because those leaves will soon blanket your lawn and yard. Don’t be disappointed with your messy yard once the leaves have fallen. And don't let those leaves sit all season. Just a few weeks of wet leaves covering your lawn can destroy it and even cause fungus. Call in the professionals to complete a thorough fall cleanup! Rather than spending all of your weekends raking and bagging leaves (when you could be watching the Patriots!), call us at Gardenin' Angels. We can complete a meticulous cleanup in just a few hours to get your yard looking great. Here are some things our fall cleanup can do to beautify your home:
