Softscape (Planting)

From the bright colors of perennials and annuals, to the majesty of a large tree, we take pride in installing beautiful plantings that add character to a landscape. We work closely with nurseries to acquire only the best plant material and have trained professionals to integrate them into your terrain.

Using flowers, ornamental grasses, bushes, evergreens, and deciduous trees, we can design a gorgeous yard you will love, with year-round color.

We also offer seasonal annuals, and containers to liven up an entrance at any time of year.

“The best time to plant a tree was 20 years ago. The second best time is now. -Chinese Proverb

Looking to make a statement? How about having the greenest lawn in the neighborhood?

We offer seasonal fertilizer packages, as well as one-time applications for when you just need that little boost. Let us keep your yard weed free and looking its best with an array of kid and pet friendly herbicides. We strongly recommend that you leave chemical use to the professionals! Too much fertilizer or herbicide can kill your lawn and “good” insects like bees and ladybugs.

Core aeration provides good value for your money, loosening soil compaction, and getting more air and water to the roots of the grass. It also allows the turf to absorb fertilizer more efficiently.

Another great way to keep grass healthy and full is dethatching. Thatch builds up right above the soil, blocking out water and fertilizer. By removing the thatch, we can help your lawn breathe easier, and become fuller.

Short on time? Let us take care of watering for you! We offer watering services that are affordable, and keep your flowers, trees, and lawn well hydrated, even in the scorching summer heat.

Mulch is an important part of any landscape and is a great finishing touch to any plant installation. Mulch provides nutrients to the soil; improving poor soil conditions and nourishing your plants. Mulch also helps the soil retain moisture, thus reducing the need for watering.

Creating clean, shovel-edged tree rings, and installing mulch provides a buffer that protects trees from lawn equipment. The mulch also helps limit the encroachment of weeds and grass into beds and prevents them from stealing nutrients and water from your trees, shrubs, bushes, and other plantings.

Contrary to popular belief, piling mulch up against the trunks of trees and shrubs IS NOT the correct way to install mulch. While many have heard that the “volcano” method is good for trees, a proper mulch installation should look more like a “donut”.

Whether you want seed or sod, A.M. Woodland Outdoor Design has the experience needed to give you a great looking lawn. We utilize a variety of strategies to suit any type of area; high traffic, sunny, shaded, wet, or dry.
