Be A Suburban Farmer

Nothing tastes better, or is better for you, than fresh grown vegetables. It is even more rewarding when you grow them yourselves. Unfortunately, it takes a lot of work to get a garden started. Removing turf, tilling in organic matter and fertilizer...who has the time? And then there is the bending over to pull weeds.

Want the "fruits of your labor" without the toil? We have the answer.

Allentuck Landscaping Co. has created "Garden In A Box"! These vegetable/herb gardens are 4' wide, 8' long, and stand 1' tall to minimize the bending over. Each garden is constructed using sturdy recycled composite lumber that will not rot or warp and is filled with a rich mixture of topsoil, leafmold and manure. We even give you a bag of fertilizer so you can continue to nourish your garden plot.

Each Garden In A Box can be installed for $550.00 (slightly more on sloped ground) or two for $1,045.00. Deer Protection can be added for $140.00.

Get started today to have veggies on your table this summer.

Got Mulch (It Does A Plant Good!)

Just as robins and daffodils are harbingers of spring, so are landscapers putting down mulch. A fresh application of mulch on one's gardens is a great way to sweep away the gray of winter. Besides appearance, what are the benefits of mulch?   

  

• Mulch keeps plant roots from drying out in dry periods. 

• Mulch suppresses weeds. 

• Mulch keeps roots cool in the summer and warm in the winter. 

• Mulch protects tree trunks and roots from damage caused by lawn mowers and string trimmers. 

• Mulch helps prevent erosion. 

• Mulch adds nutrients to the soil as it breaks down. 

So as you can see, not only does a fresh layer of mulch look great, it has a lot a benefits to offer your trees and gardens. Applying mulch can be done at any time of the year but it is certainly understandable that we all want to see a fresh look in the spring.
