Landscaping Services Big Bear Lake CA | Call Emingers Mountain Nursery

Our alpine environment requires hardy, cold-tolerant shrubs. We specialize in varieties like Manzanita, Sierra Laurel, and native currants that are adapted to our seasons. Yes, our full-service shrub planting includes selecting the right plant for your specific site, proper soil preparation with our recommended amendments, and expert installation to give your new shrubs the best start in our mountain soil.

This is a common issue here due to our terrain and soil. We recommend a two-part solution. First, we can assess and help adjust or supplement your irrigation to ensure even coverage. Second, for the bare patches, we provide high-quality grass seed blends suited for our climate and can advise on soil aeration and top-dressing to promote healthy, thick regrowth that can withstand our local conditions.

Timing is crucial in our climate. For most shrubs, late winter or early spring, just before new growth starts, is ideal for major pruning. For disease and insect management, early detection is key. Our staff can identify common local issues like powdery mildew or aphid infestations and recommend targeted, environmentally mindful treatments. We also offer shrub care services to handle pruning and health management for you.
