It's almost spring - the right time to begin planning your dream project  

 

Not long ago thoughts of landscaping turned toward holiday lighting with a focus on evergreen trees and shrubs. 

 

As the holiday season has progressed into late winter, a new season is upon us - the perfect time to begin planning the new year's landscape design needs. After all, spring is a short few weeks away in Memphis.


This is why now is the right time to begin planning a project so that both the design and installation phases can be completed in time for a superb late spring or early summer exhibition.

  

The first step, of course, is to choose your landscape design team. At Greg Touliatos and Associates we excel at taking your ideas and building the garden of your dreams. As the designs come together, we consider with you every important detail - such as materials, colors, plantings, lighting options and whether to use water features.

  

It's your dream and it's our work. Together we build a work of art.

Get the Spring Thing  

 

Call today to move your special spring project into the design phase, or to request one of our gardening services, including the "Spring Thing."

   

"Spring Thing" is our customized program for your garden. It generally includes everything your garden needs, from corrective pruning to clean-up, mulching, fertilizer, PH correctors, systemic insecticides and Pre-Emergent.

 

If you have a garden pond or water feature we also can clean these out for the coming season. Annual color and additional plantings also can be added at just the right time. Our work always includes the right amount of care your garden deserves.

Bad weed 

 

Weeds! Every gardener must defeat them. Here's our latest hint:

  

Weeds are the enemy and one of the secrets to keeping them away is Pre-Emergent These herbicides are designed to be applied to the top layer of soil to kill weeds before they emerge. Available in several brands, fighting various kinds of weeds, they all act the same - stopping tough-to-control annual re-seeding weeds for a period of time to let desirable, established plants have the space.

 

When should you use them? Now. Before the growing season is upon us. Read the labels at your favorite garden center or call us at (901) 323-0031.

A legacy lives on

 

Although Trees By Touliatos is no longer in business after many years and its founder, Plato Touliatos, recently passed away, the well-known establishment remains alive in its philosophy, educational outreach and family roots.

 

At Greg Touliatos & Associates we are a landscape design firm with nearly 40 professionals doing mostly residential design and installation since 1996. And, yes, we're proudly a legacy company. A recent story written by reporter Tom Bailey for The Commercial Appeal does a good job explaining our evolution and telling what we're all about.

 

Please take a look:

Trees by Touliatos is no more, but its legacy lives on.
