Design
Green Gene’s Horticulture Inc. offers several different types of designs from basic sketches to professional, scaled formal landscape plans with legends. Our landscape plans include seasonal color and often incorporate the usage of perennials, annuals, shrubs and trees. We strive to provide color throughout the growing season.
Consulting
Green Gene’s Horticulture Inc. offers consultations that include a walk-through of your property or commercial site. During the consultation, we will address your landscaping concerns by fielding questions, proposing remedies and solutions such as the right plant at the right place, and offering guidance on the functionality of plants in correlation to their surroundings.
We also offer comprehensive consultations on plants, shrubs, trees, lawns, and theme gardens as well as consultations on insect and disease diagnoses that may affect your investments. Upon completion of the consultation, we offer a formal, written proposal detailing the necessary materials, cost and labor associated with the project. If Green Gene’s is awarded the project as a result of the consultation, we will deduct the amount of the consulting fee (minus the travel fee) from the final project cost.
Installations
Green Gene’s Horticulture Inc. installs many different sizes of plants from ground covers to trees and shrubbery. We are highly skilled at transplanting existing plant material, and we specialize in introducing large plants into existing landscapes with nominal disruption to the environment.
Natural Stonework and Fire Pit Installations
Green Gene’s Horticulture Inc. offers customized natural stonework such as walkways, patios, fire pits and retaining walls. Our stonework is designed to provide beauty and functionality for your landscape. We install dry stack and mortared stone, depending upon the application needed.
Drainage Systems
Because most North Carolina soils have poor drainage due to the clay content, many landscapes do not properly drain and move water away from foundations and plant beds. As a result, some plants– azaleas, camellias, rhododendrons, and boxwood, to name a few– may fail to thrive due to root rot. Even worse, excess water may cause costly damage your home’s exterior and interior.
Green Gene’s Horticulture can improve the growing conditions on your property and help protect your home by creating a drainage solution specific to your needs. Our customized drainage systems will move water away from your foundation and plant beds, thus reducing the likelihood of damages that may affect your investments.
Maintenance
Green Gene’s Horticulture offers an extensive maintenance program that occurs in February through December. It involves pruning, spraying to control insects and diseases, and the fertilization of lawns, shrubs, trees, annuals and perennials. When pruning, we examine the plants for new diseases that may have come about since our last visit.
Lawn Maintenance Programs
Green Gene’s Horticulture provides lawn programs based on the soil nutrient content. Every soil has a different nutrient requirement which is indicated by a soil sample test administered at the North Carolina Department of Agriculture (NCDOA). We routinely take soil samples to the NCDOA in order to determine the soil pH. Once the soil pH is determined, we can devise and administer organic programs based on individual requirements. Our lawn programs include insecticide and fertilizer applications administered throughout the growing season. Let us come out and test your soil to begin the process and make your lawn the envy of the neighborhood.
Outside Lighting
We install professional landscape lighting to accentuate your landscape. Our uplights will bring life to your shrubs and trees to enhance your nighttime enjoyment of your property. Our path and walkway lighting fixtures will light up walkways at dusk and pre-dawn for an added safety feature. We offer a wide variety of low-voltage LED lighting to help keep your costs to a minimum. Please call us for a free consultation and demonstration.
