Mahoney’s annual maintenance services encompass:
Lawn care includes mowing, nutritional programs, aeration, de-thatching, over-seeding, and management of weeds, pests, and fungal infections to provide lush, healthy turf.
Fertilization programs to sustain a healthy soil and turf system. Our approach is informed by periodic soil testing. Only the necessary amount to yield beautiful results is prescribed so waterways are protected from excess runoff.
Organic lawn care and fertilization programs can be customized for the most sensitive environments, while delivering beautiful results.
Garden maintenance includes detailing, weeding, and horticultural care of shrubs, perennials, seasonal flower rotations, containers, native plantings, and groundcover beds.
Spring cleanups begin with removal of branches, twigs, privet leaves and any other leaves that winter left behind. Fertilizer and compost are incorporated into planting beds. New clean garden bed edges are made and mulch is applied. Issues created by winter salt, wind, and snow are addressed.
Fall cleanups focus on preparing your landscape for a tidy, clean, safe, and healthy dormant season. Vulnerable plants are covered in burlap. End-of-season flowers and perennials are cut back, perennials that provide winter interest are shaped, and leaves and debris are removed to minimize opportunities for pests to overwinter.
Tree pruning and care improves the functionality, health, safety and aesthetic of your trees. Removal of dead or damaged branches decreases the risk of disease and structural failure during storms. Selective thinning allows for better air circulation and light penetration for understory plantings.
Shrub pruning helps maintain privacy behind classic privet hedges and evergreen screening. Trimming and perfecting the heights and widths of hedges adds visual drama.
Perennial and native plant care provides the special attention these hardy specimens need to get established, thrive, multiply, safely overwinter, and showcase their natural beauty.
Seasonal flower rotations provide an extra pop of glorious color. Services include design of seasonal displays for beds and containers, watering, detailing, fertilization, and tending to produce dazzling annual flower displays.
Irrigation system management, monitoring and adjustments help ensure each element of your landscape receives adequate watering.
Design services for landscape enhancements, renovations, planting beds, perennial gardens, vegetable gardens, and seasonal color displays are reflective of the Hamptons culture and individual garden styles.
Plant Health Care
Plant Health Care (PHC) begins with thoughtful selection and placement of plant material well suited for the Hamptons’ climate and your site’s microclimates. Mahoney’s holistic PHC approach focuses on maintaining your trees, shrubs and plants with nutritional soil supplementation designed to enhance plants’ natural defenses, to crowd out weeds, and fight off pests. Careful water management and treatment applications help mitigate plant failure and improve the overall quality and aesthetic of your property.
Pest and Disease Programs
Pest and disease programs begin with timely periodic inspections to detect infestations or infections early. Mahoney’s Integrated Pest Management (IPM) program includes the use of beneficial organisms such as natural parasites, pathogens and predators of pests, and a broad array of natural, organic, and synthetic treatment products. We take the extra time to spot-spray specific areas instead of blanketing an entire area with unnecessary applications in order to manage pest damage and disease with the least possible hazard to people, pets, property and the environment.
Tick and Deer Control
Tick and deer control measures include IPM applications by Mahoney’s certified staff to the turf, shrubs, trees and other elements on your property, as well as the design and installation of deer fencing, tick-deterrent site plans, and deer-resistant plant material to help reduce tick populations.
