Imagine coming home after work and seeing your house surrounded by your favorite trees and flowers. Strategically placed flowerbeds may be blooming, while birds and welcome insects fly around your flower beds. Your newly sculpted lot with soft sloping hills covered with lush green lawn will be interesting to see and fun to play on. Turf Works can help you establish a tranquil and beautiful lawn with annual visual enhancements like perennial flowers, annual flowers, mulch, and pine straw.
Perennial Flower Installation
Turf Works provides Perennial plant installations to liven up your landscape! Perennials Flowers are flowers that will return year after year providing long-lasting enjoyment and enhancement to your lawn. Some are evergreen and keep their foliage throughout the winter while others will go dormant and will send up new shoots in the spring. They usually only bloom for one season each year, either spring, summer, or fall. Perennials tend to have fewer flowers than annuals, because their energy is put into developing strong roots instead of flowers and seeds.

Pine Straw Installation
If you’ve done any kind of landscaping or setting out shrubs, flowers, or trees, inevitably the last part of your project is to put out some mulch. Mulch, or a ground cover on top of the dirt, is a vital part of the success of your landscape.
You have many options for ground cover in North Carolina, but, with the abundance of pine trees in NC a great natural selection is pine needles or pine straw. There are several things that make pine straw an excellent mulch. Pine needles already naturally fall from the trees every year. So, there’s no need to cut down another tree to grind it down to use the shredded bark mulch. Pine needles typically don’t wash away. So if you have a slope, or an area that gathers a lot of water, the needles become nested together and tend to hold still in the landscape.
Using pine straw will keep the sun from baking the soil. A two to three inch layer of pine needles will cover the ground. That, in turn, will allow the water to be taken up into the soil more readily. Pine needles keep the root zone cool in the summer and warm in the winter. In addition to the obvious benefits that mulch provides for plants, pine needles are fairly inexpensive and lightweight so they’re easy to put out. And if you already have pine trees in your yard, you’ll have a good supply of pine straw when the needles fall.
