Outdoor living & yard care
Landscaping in Livingston and the Lake Livingston Area
Shrubs trimmed, trees pruned, beds mulched and new plants put in, for a yard that looks cared for all year.
Beds, shrubs and trees in good shape
Shrubs that swallow the windows, beds full of weeds and trees hanging over the roof make a property look neglected fast. Regular landscaping care keeps plants healthy, beds tidy and the yard looking its best.
Onalaska Builders provides landscaping maintenance with our own crews.
Landscaping work includes:
- Trimming bushes and shrubs
- Pruning trees
- Mulching flower beds
- Planting
Trimming and pruning
Shrub trimming and tree pruning
- Shrubs look best and stay healthier when they are shaped regularly and kept clear of windows, walkways and siding.
- Tree pruning removes dead, damaged and crossing branches and limbs that hang over the roof, driveway or walkways.
- Clearance from the house. Branches rubbing the roof or siding and shrubs pressed against walls hold moisture and can damage the exterior. See roof repair and siding repair.
Large trees, and any branches near power lines, can call for a tree specialist or the utility company. Tell us what you are dealing with and we will talk it through.
Beds
Why mulch flower beds
A fresh layer of mulch does more than look good:
- Holds moisture in the soil through hot summers
- Keeps down weeds
- Moderates soil temperature for plant roots
- Gives beds a clean, finished edge
Keep mulch pulled back from the house foundation and siding, and away from the base of trees and shrubs, so moisture does not sit against them.
Planting
Planting for East Texas
- Choose plants for the conditions. Heat, humidity, shade under pines and sandy or clay soils all affect what thrives.
- Mind the spacing. Leave room for plants to reach full size without crowding the house.
- Think about water. Place thirsty plants where they are easy to water and keep beds sloped away from the foundation. See drainage solutions.
- Plant at the right time, generally avoiding the hottest part of summer.
