The landscape contracting process includes several important steps ... many of which happen long before a truck, crew, or equipment appear at your site to put plants in the ground. Quality installations involve care in the following areas:

• Recent Commercial Projects
• Plant Selection
• Coordinatoin of Trades
• Plant Handling
• Experienced Crews
• Support Following Installation

Plant Selection - The most successful projects involve a strong team that involves the designer, the landscape contractor, and a grower (or several growers). Working closely with the Landscape Architect or the landscape designer, trees, shrubs, and groundcovers are selected based upon their hardiness, availability, quality, and their particular purpose within the landscape plan. Greathouse takes an active leadership role in the selection process. With 25 years of experience and a strong relationship with nurseries throughout the United States, Greathouse takes particular pride in quality selection for plants that will endure the extremes of the Middle Tennessee climate.

Coordination of Trades - Many landscape projects involve more than just plant material. Your project may encompass an irrigation system, landscape lighting, stone work, detailed hardscapes, sculpture in the garden, a water feature, perennials, tree surgery, or extensive grading. Greathouse has a proven track record of projects that involve numerous trades and is prepared to coordinate all aspects of your landscape plan.

Plant Handling - Trees and shrubs for your project may come from as far away as Oregon or New England. Greathouse is equipped to hold and care for these plants during the period prior to actual installation. Proper planning by your landscape team enables Greathouse to do planting in virtually every month of the year.

Back

Experienced Crews - You can be assured that the people working on your site have been properly trained and will work to provide you a quality landscape ... safely and effectively. Our crew leaders have years of experience in the industry and are prepared to tackle a variety of projects. Greathouse requires pre-employment drug testing and has had an effective random screening program in operation for over 15 years.

Support Following Installation - When you are working with material that grows and changes, it means that your landscape is not something that stands still. Following installation, Greathouse is available to answer your questions on plant care, assist you in extended maintenance, and to provide you ongoing information right here on this web site!
