Outdoor Fireplaces:
Installed for their warmth, but mostly for their ambiance, outdoor fireplaces are a permanent, eye-catching feature of stylish backyard environments. For the patio, fireplaces are a design anchor and tend to be where furniture and other elements of the outdoor living space are centered.

Outdoor fireplaces come in a variety of styles and finishes. Choosing the right fireplace can be overwhelming considering all of the options in design, size, and type. It becomes easier to narrow down which fireplace is right for your space once you know the various features and details about each type. Keep in mind that the material you choose needs to hold up outside and withstand high temperatures. It is also beneficial to select a fireplace facing that is easy to clean, so soot and ashes can simply be hosed off.
Fire Pits:
A fire pit will extend the enjoyment of your backyard for you and your guests. Adding a fire pit as part of your landscaping will provide warmth, light, a cooking source and, of course, relaxation. Fire pits are excellent for socializing and entertaining groups. People are drawn to the campfire atmosphere and before you know it there will be storytelling and laughter.

There are many options when it comes to the size, shape and style of a fire pit. You can have a built-in fire pit installed, or you can purchase a portable one that can be moved about your yard. If opting for a built-in fire pit, you’ll be able to choose from a variety of outdoor finishing materials including concrete, stone and brick. And remember, fire pits don’t have to be round—they can be square, L-shaped, triangular, or an entirely custom shape.

Garden Pond Design:
Garden ponds are alluring because they provide a tranquil and relaxing atmosphere. There’s nothing better than the sight and sound of water in your own backyard. A well designed pond will turn your outdoor space into a vacation-like retreat, where you can get away from the busy world. With a pond, you’ll be able to enjoy the sights and sounds of nature including unique plants, running water and possibly even some fish.

It’s important that the design and construction of a garden pond are done right. Due to lack of knowledge, homeowners often end up with a sloppy eyesore rather than a beautiful and relaxing water feature. Familiarize yourself with the basics of pond design and construction so that when you hire a professional you’ll be able to work together to create an incredible pond.

Outdoor Fountain :
Water is an essential part of garden design. A well placed fountain can transform an ordinary yard into a relaxing retreat. Perhaps the best thing about a fountain is the sound of trickling water. Garden fountains come in all sorts of sizes and styles. You can purchase a prefabricated fountain or you can have a custom one designed and built.

We are the one stop shop for your outdoor grilling area. With our HUGE variety of services, you can turn your dull boring backyard into an adventurous oasis that will make you feel like it’s the first time seeing it every time you step outside. From fire places to pergolas and everything in between, we can handle it all.

Tree Pruning / Trimming

Pruning / Trimming can improve the health, safety and appearance or your trees.  Although forest trees grow quite well with only nature’s pruning, landscape trees require a higher level of care to maintain their safety and aesthetics.At Bayshore Tree Services  we can have and experienced arborist determine what type of pruning is necessary for your specific trees. Improper pruning can cause damage that will last for the life of the tree, or worse, shorten the tree’s life. Proper Mature Tree Pruning Techniques: Specific types of pruning may be necessary to maintain a mature tree in a healthy, safe, and attractive condition. Crown Cleaning is the removal of dead, dying, diseased, crowded, weakly attached, and low-vigor branches from the crown of a tree. Crown Thinning is the selective removal of branches to increase light penetration and air movement through the crown. Thinning opens the foliage of a tree, reduces weight on heavy limbs, and helps retain the tree’s natural shape. Crown Raising removes the lower branches from a tree in order to provide clearance for buildings, vehicles, pedestrians, and vistas. Crown Reduction reduces the size of a tree, often for clearance for utility lines. Reducing the height or spread of a tree is best accomplished by pruning back the leaders and branch terminals to lateral branches that are large enough to assume the terminal roles (at least one-third the diameter of the cut stem). Compared to topping, reduction helps maintain the form and structural integrity of the tree. When to Prune Most routine pruning to remove weak, diseased, or dead limbs can be accomplished at any time during the year with little effect on the tree. As a rule, growth is maximized and wound closure is fastest if pruning takes place before the spring growth flush. Making Proper Pruning Cuts Pruning cuts should be made just outside the branch collar. The branch collar contains trunk or parent branch tissue and should not be damaged or removed. If the trunk collar has grown out on a dead limb to be removed, make the cut just beyond the collar. Do not cut the collar. If a large limb is to be removed, its weight should first be reduced. This is done by making an undercut about 12 to 18 inches from the limb’s point of attachment. Make a second cut from the top, directly above or a few inches farther out on the limb. Doing so removes the limb, leaving the 12- to 18-inch stub. Remove the stub by cutting back to the branch collar. This technique reduces the possibility of tearing the bark.

Protecting your trees when lightning strikes

 

Trees provide us with so many benefits. They contribute to real estate values, offer energy-conserving shade, serve as historical monuments, and provide countless memories.

Large, mature trees supply the majority of these benefits and can be very difficult and expensive to replace. Too often severe weather events damage these precious assets.

While you can’t control the weather, you can take steps to protect these valuable natural resources. One method is through the installation of a lightning-protection system.

Irrigation

 

In some regions, irrigation systems are critical for plant survival. However, every property benefits from regular watering maintained by a system.

Irrigation systems can supplement natural rainfall. In periods of drought and extreme temperatures, irrigation can sustain plants until the conditions become less extreme.

Mulch and Bed Maintenance

 

Mulch can help keep shrubs and flower beds healthy and attractive. It can help retain moisture and prevent weeds, as well as insulating plants from temperature extremes.

Don’t mulch too deep – more than 4″ is too much. Mulch also can help water penetrate the soil better and moderates soil temperature extremes, which encourages healthy rooting. Contact us if you are interested in a professional installation and/or maintenance service.
