WTEC Service (Weed, Trim, Edge & Cultivate)
At Milieu, one of our most popular services is our WTEC (pronounced WE-tech). WTEC stands for Weed, Trim, Edge and Cultivate. For a well-kept appearance we recommend this service be performed at a minimum of four (4) times a year. All plant beds will be weeded, edged and cultivated (if appropriate). Trimming and pruning of ornamental trees, shrubs and groundcover is performed to maintain a well-kept look as well as eliminating any dead or broken branches which are favorite sites for insect and disease infestation. Thinning of plants also allows needed air and sun penetration necessary for proper growth.
Soil Amendments
Gardens continue to grow from season to season. But a little help from soil amendments can go a long way enriching the soil and giving life to your plants. Leaf compost being the most popular for perennial gardens, our teams carefully add this amendment to help your soil and plants thrive.
Mulching
Whether it is seasonal or winter mulch this is another popular service Milieu offers in garden maintenance. Adding mulch adds to your beds and leaves the beds looking refreshed and clean. Mulch has many benefits including soil retention, weed suppression, and even soil erosion.
Perennial Division
Many perennials have natural habits of multiplication. This is an asset in a growing perennial garden but can cause overcrowding, leading and can lead to other issues in the garden. In order to sustain & encourage continued health and flowering of your perennial plantings, periodic divisions of perennials may be required. This is also a good opportunity to expand planting areas using new divisions.
Rose Care
Roses can benefit from a regular car program. In Milieu’s garden maintenance, rose care can be added to your landscape maintenance plan. With deadheading, periodic treatment of diseases and insects as well as fertilization we will keep your roses radiant for the season.
Seasonal Pruning
Seasonal pruning can be a positive addition to a landscape maintenance program, especially if one does not have a WTEC program in place. Seasonal pruning is a good idea in keeping plants healthy and in good shape.
Winter Pruning
Winter is the optimum time to prune trees and shrubs for long term health & beauty. Lack of leaves provides for a ‘clearer picture’ during pruning operations, while frozen ground and dormant plants mean less disturbance to surrounding areas.
Integrated Pest Management
Plants and pests work hand in hand in the garden. Some bugs are beneficial, others are simply pests. With the proper evaluation of your property we can help you protect your plants with a pest management program.
Based on our horticulturist’s assessment of your plantings, taking into consideration any previous problems and combining them with area trends, we propose an IPM program for your plantings. Insecticides, fungicides, and specialized treatments are available to help solve any issues you may be encountering.
Transfilm Applications
Plan to preserve your evergreens this season with applications of transfilm. Transfilm is best with 2 applications (commonly done in November & December) over evergreens before winter sets in. Transfilm is an anti-desiccant. This helps retain moisture in evergreens for up to 4 months. These natural and safe applications will greatly enhance vitality and vibrancy especially on newly planted evergreens.
