Questions and Answers
How does C. Whitmore Gardens help with common local issues like overgrown shrubs and weedy mulch beds?
We see these issues frequently in Amagansett due to our specific climate and soil. Our approach is comprehensive: we start with expert shrub pruning or trimming to restore shape and health, followed by a thorough removal of invasive weeds from your mulch beds. To prevent recurrence, we can apply pre-emergent treatments, refresh mulch to the proper depth, and recommend native ground covers that naturally suppress weeds. For severely overgrown shrubs, we offer careful removal and replacement with more suitable, low-maintenance varieties that flourish here on the East End.
What is included in your full-service landscape design and construction process?
Our process, refined over 40 years, begins with a design consultation that incorporates Charlie's intimate knowledge of local landforms and plant behavior. From there, our team handles every phase in-house. This includes initial earthmoving and grading, followed by the construction of hardscapes like patios, walkways, and retaining walls. We then install a tailored irrigation system and proceed with planting, selecting from our extensive nursery stock. We manage the entire project to ensure seamless integration of all elements, from the foundational work to the final greenscape, resulting in a cohesive and durable landscape built for our local conditions.
Do you offer ongoing care for the landscapes and trees you install?
Absolutely. We believe a landscape is a long-term investment that requires proper stewardship. Our maintenance services are designed to protect your investment and include seasonal lawn care, shrub and tree pruning tailored to promote healthy growth, disease and insect management, and irrigation system repair. For trees, we provide specialized planting, pruning, removal, and even transplanting services. This ongoing care ensures the landscape matures beautifully and remains resilient, saving you time and preserving the health and value of your property for years to come.
