Residential and Commercial Lawn and Garden Maintenance

As our client base grew we began offering Lawn and Garden Maintenance. Our residential and commercial maintenance accounts are primarily located in Pawlet, Dorset, Danby, and Manchester. This has been one of the fastest growing parts of our business as our people and equipment are top notch. Beginning in 2009 we are contracted to provide a Contract Groundskeeping Crew for one of the largest and most prestigious homeowner’s associations in the area -- the Equinox-on-the-Battenkill development in Manchester Village. In this relationship we are providing full time employees who will be on the client’s property full time throughout the landscaping season. We are now able to serve our maintenance clients from two locations -- one in Danby and one in Manchester.

In 2008 we took on the task of garden maintenance for the association of people who own the 114 homes of the Equinox-on-the-Battenkill propertyin Manchester. Based on our fine performance we will continue this massive work in 2009 and beyond. Can we earn your business, too?

Sustainable Garden & Landscape Practices

In this economy and at this time nothing is more important than doing what is right. Doing the right thing is making sure that we spend our money wisely for the things we want or need; and that those things are justifiable in terms of fairness for the environment.

Since 2001 Garden Arts has been designing and installing gardens and landscapes that are compatible with sustainable ethics and good environmental practices. Our famous Vermont All Season Color Gardens© are just one example. Our range of Garden Ponds and Waterfalls are another; as is our use of locally provided decorative stone, topsoil, mulch and compost.

In the case of our All Season Gardens, after the first summer in the ground there is no need to provide water other than what Mother Nature provides. These efficient and gorgeous gardens are extremely low in maintenance requirements. Needing only an annual light pruning, they are non-demanding of time. And they provide shelter for wildlife and protection from winter winds.

Our garden ponds are designed around an ecosystem that eschews the need for chemicals of any kind to keep them clear and clean. Even a small pond located in the right spot in the back yard works to keep an area cool on the hottest day of the year.

We are fortunate in that we have a network of suppliers who are located close to our yard in Danby Four Corners. By working hard to cultivate our local supplier relationships we avoid the waste of trucking materials long distances over the road – and we get to keep payments for materials circulating in our own local economy.

When you choose a garden or landscape company for your home or business needs, think about how that company thinks about sustainable business practices. It is important.
