What exactly is landscaping? You hear and probably see the word everywhere. By definition, landscaping is an art of shaping the natural environment around a property to create spaces that are both beautiful and functional. Our Mercer County landscaping services go beyond just planting flowers or mowing the lawn. It is about designing as well as maintaining the outdoor areas that reflect the wishes of the owner, support the property's structure, and of course add lasting value.
At its core, our Mercer County landscaping services include everything from grading and drainage to plant selection, design, lawn care, mulching, stone installation, seasonal cleanups, and even the installation of hardscapes like patios, walkways, retaining walls, and outdoor lighting. It can be as simple as seasonal maintenance or as involved as a complete transformation of your yard.
A well-designed landscape for your Mercer County yard not only enhances the appearance of the property, but also improves usability, increases curb appeal, and creates an overall inviting atmosphere. Whether you are looking for a peaceful backyard, a space for entertaining, a low maintenance garden, or an inviting area for commercial clients, our Mercer County NJ landscaping services can bring that vision to life.
Royal Touch Landscaping provides professional edging and mulching services to residential and commercial properties throughout the Mercer County NJ area. At Royal Touch Landscaping, we know firsthand that top quality, premium mulch instantly redefines the overall visual impact of your property. Even just a few yards of high-end mulch along with a deep edge delivers a refined, finished look to all your beds and gardens. And it will have everyone complimenting and asking who worked on your property!
Yes, mulching services amplify a property's curb appeal, adding rich and vibrant color to all your ornamental landscapes. However, the advantage of mulch extends far beyond mere aesthetics. Mulching services for your Mercer County NJ yard deliver a multitude of property advantages, including the fact that various wood mulches are good for the soil. Over time, the organic materials in the mulch break down, redistributing vital nutrients throughout the root system of plants to promote longevity and help your grass fight off various regional diseases.
Mulch also serves as an insulator, regulating the soil temperature to keep root systems warm in the winter and cool in the summer. Mulching your beds and gardens can help protect your plantings when the seasonal temperatures begin to change.
Mulching can help you spend less time in the yard and help you worry less about watering your landscapes. Mulch reduces evaporation speed, conserving moisture so the water stays in the soil longer and is more readily available for all your thirsty plants.
But perhaps the biggest benefit of our Mercer County mulching services is weed prevention. Spreading a layer of mulch throughout your gardens offers an organic way to block the weeds' access to sunlight, preventing unwanted vegetation from overtaking your landscapes. Weeds can still grow, of course, but it generally will take longer. And when or if they do, we have weed maintenance plans that we can discuss to come to the property either weekly, biweekly, or monthly to clean out those beds of those pesky weeds.
Mulching for your Mercer County NJ property is typically twice a year, once at the beginning of the season (spring) and another at the end of the season (fall).
We offer a variety of different types of mulch for our Mercer County, New Jersey area customers, including:
At Royal Touch Landscaping, we recognize that sometimes our Mercer County area clients prefer stone instead of mulch in their residential and commercial landscapes. Much like mulch, premium quality stone regulates both temperature and moisture levels in the soil to protect surrounding plants. However, unlike mulch, stone doesn't rot or decompose, so it rarely needs replacement. It's also heavier than mulch and can withstand high wind and storm conditions. Additionally, because it doesn't decay, crushed stone also doesn't attract bugs, insects, and other pests.
We offer a variety of different landscaping stones for Mercer County properties. The most popular are River Rock, Goose Egg, and Red Stone. We can install other stones and rocks as well. If you're looking for a low maintenance landscaping solution for your Mercer County NJ yard, rock installation may be for you.
Stones do not need to be reinstalled as often as mulch. Sometimes you can go a few years before you need to “replenish” or “refresh” your stones.
Keep in mind that landscape stone, unlike mulch, won't help prevent weeds from growing, so other options would be necessary to control weeds at your Mercer County property, such as adding a weed fabric or adding a weeding maintenance service that we offer.
Royal Touch Landscaping never underestimates the importance of thorough, consistent yard cleanup for our Mercer County NJ customers. Our team of yard cleanup specialists knows that neglecting your yard in-between seasons can have dire consequences. Leaves, branches, thatch build-up, and other debris left scattered across your yard isn't just unsightly; it can also create a breeding ground for unwanted insects, pests, and disease.
Unfortunately for many residential and commercial properties in the Mercer County area, fall and spring yard cleanups are a big job that they simply don't have the time to squeeze into their already overcrowded schedules. Royal Touch Landscaping can handle all your property pickup needs for you. Our Mercer County seasonal yard cleanup services can help you enjoy a well-maintained, season-ready property without the hassle of maintenance and upkeep.
New Jersey delivers gorgeous foliage. However, the thrill of fall can quickly turn stressful for Mercer County property owners with tree-lined yards. While natural environments thrive from decomposing leaves and other organic matter, suburban properties here typically don't benefit from the foliage process. Wet, rotting foliage left on your property throughout the winter can quickly cause lawn fungus and significant, often irreversible, damage throughout your yard, making proper leaf removal or leaf mulching essential to sustain the health and strength of your turf and shrubs.
That's where we step in. Our experienced Mercer County yard cleanup specialists eliminate unwanted leaves, sticks, twigs, and branches throughout your lawn and gardens. And if you don't want the leaves removed completely, we can mulch the leaves up so that the nutrients from the mulched leaves can return into the soil, which is beneficial. We can quickly, easily, and professionally get your property ready for winter.
Spring is a perfect time to remove debris from your lawn, beds, and gardens. We arrive with the training, equipment, and machinery needed to safely and effectively clear away all the leaves, twigs, and branches that have been hiding under all the winter snow. Our crew will clear away the clutter so your Mercer County yard is ready to thrive throughout all the upcoming warm weather months.
