Plant Bed Design & Installation
Color, Balance, and Seasonal Impact
At Maple Crest, we believe a well-designed plant bed is more than a collection of flowers and foliage—it’s a living work of art. Our custom plant bed designs focus on creating dynamic, cohesive compositions that enhance your home’s architecture and highlight the natural beauty of your property. From initial layout to ongoing care, we handle the details that make your plantings thrive.
Design with Purpose
We approach every bed with a designer’s eye and a gardener’s care. That means selecting plant varieties not just for color and bloom time, but for structure, texture, and how they’ll evolve across the seasons. Whether you prefer a crisp, clean look or a more naturalized setting, our team ensures your plant beds have balance, unity, and visual impact.

Preventive Care Techniques
Keep your plant beds looking great—all summer long!
Once your flower beds are planted, it takes consistent maintenance to keep them looking their best. Here are some common gardening techniques we recommend:
- Deadheading: Deadheading keeps your flowers blooming strong and your beds looking clean. Removing spent blooms prevents energy from being wasted on seed production and encourages new flowers to form. It also keeps rotting petals from falling into the bed and damaging healthy foliage. Frequent deadheading is especially important for high-performing annuals like Begonias, Dahlias, Petunias, and Cannas.
- Soil Compaction Prevention: Regular watering can lead to compacted soil, which restricts air and water flow to your plants. We use techniques to prevent and break up compaction so your beds remain healthy and well-aerated.
- Fertilization & Feedings: Container gardens and densely planted beds require more frequent feeding to support growth. We use a combination of slow-release fertilizer and water-soluble nutrients to keep plants strong and vibrant throughout the season.
- Pruning: Pruning isn’t just about looks—it’s essential for plant health and longevity. We shape shrubs and perennials according to your landscape’s style, whether it’s formal and geometric or soft and natural. Pruning also prevents plants from encroaching on walkways or structures and encourages more blooms in species like daylilies and shrub roses.
- Weeding: Persistent weeds like clover, dandelions, crabgrass, and chickweed can quickly overtake your beds and steal nutrients from desirable plants. We stay ahead of weeds with consistent hand-pulling and spot treatments.
- Mulching: Mulch helps conserve soil moisture, suppress weeds, and regulate temperature. We recommend and install the best mulch types for your specific needs and aesthetic preferences—because the right mulch can elevate both the look and performance of your beds.

What Our Clients Are Saying
We reached out to Maple Crest years ago to take on a small, behind the garage project. They did a wonderful job, and have been recreating our entire yard for the past 4 years! The pictures are of the behind the garage project. Then our lower patio, then the driveway. They did so much more around our garage and house.
Very responsive if you call or have questions.
Griffin and his team were so friendly, they felt like family for the past four years!
We highly recommend Maple Crest, and we will continue to do business with them if needed.
Carla
Maple Crest Landscape completed a new paver walkway for us. They were incredibly professional, communicated well with the timeline and changes due to weather, and the project turned out beautifully! We've worked with other landscape companies and they are the best!
Andrea
We contracted with Maple Crest Landscape to remove our old deck and replace it with a paver patio. To put it mildly we could not be more satisfied. From our initial meeting with Greg to design discussions with Dan to actual construction the process was flawless. Everyone involved was extremely professional and treated our property with the utmost respect--the yard was cleaned up every night. Communication was outstanding as they kept us updated so we always knew what to expect. Last but not least the quality and appearance of the finished patio was amazing.
When we have our next landscaping or hardscaping project Maple Crest will be our first call.

Have used Maple Crest Landscape for all our landscaping projects and they have always done a fabulous job from planning to completion! Communication with Dan is great and the crews are professional, courteous and respectful! Would highly recommend them for any landscape project!
Cindy & Jim
We are very happy with not only the outcome of our project but the process of working with Greg and his Maple Crest team. The communication was professional and timely before and during the project. They consulted with us on patio paver choice and we ended up going with Greg’s suggestion (vs the one we picked) and are really happy with the result.
