What are the differences between
a gardener and a landscaper?
Most property owners have used the services of a landscape contractor. A professional gardener focuses on a very different level of plant care than a general landscaping service. A professional gardener has specialized training in areas such as botany, soil science, advanced plant identification, plant cultural requirements, arboriculture, advanced pruning techniques, as well as plant disease and insect identification. A general landscaper may have these skills but their focus is on basic upkeep of your property as a whole. This might include leaf and debris removal, cleaning, and mowing and fertilizing lawns. Can a gardener do these tasks as well? Yes -- but there's nothing like a lawn-care professional to take care of your lawn, for instance! Get the right person to do the right job.

and mulching gives your garden bed a professional look.
