Mature Gardens

Polishing a Jewel: Enhancing Your Existing Garden

When managing an established or “mature” garden, the approach oftentimes is to limit attention to pruning, weeding and fertilizing the existing area.

Vivid’s approach to effective management is quite the contrary. As professional horticulturalists, we embrace each property as a unique jewel: A gem that warrants our respect and attention to each mature element of your garden. Our service begins with an assessment of the condition of your existing plant material, the soil condition and the current and future growth conditions. Each mature garden has unique features that warrant focused attention be paid to pruning methods and the consideration of relocating your plants. We respect the delicate conditions found only within well-established plant materials.

No two gardens are alike

Regardless of its age, your garden is constantly evolving. Effective management of your mature garden will embrace this natural evolution with design and plant knowledge, creativity, enthusiasm and respect to both you and your garden area. Further, our goals include preserving the spirit of the original design (if, of course, that is your vision). We ascertain your current pleasure in viewing your garden, the emotions your environment evokes, and share suggestions that may complement your view, the effective maintenance and the health of your old garden friends.
