If you have a commercial property and are looking at the cost or costs associated with different styles of landscaping you should know that one of the most efficient styles (cost wise) is a desert landscape that uses local native plants.
Compared purely by square footage it will cost far less to maintain that style of landscape versus any type that use a grass based groundcover and non-native trees.
The reason is very simple, water use. You will save thousands of gallons of water every day. That can up to thousands of dollars in yearly savings.
While the look of desert landscaping can vary it does mean you have to like or accept that fundamental look that is a desert landscape. They can be colorful and very pleasant to the eye.
Desert landscaping is a great way to conserve water without sacrificing the beauty of your property.
The basic philosophy of desert landscaping is choosing combinations of native, drought-tolerant plants to create an attractive landscape that uses very little water. This type of landscaping is most common in the desert Southwest where water is at a premium.
Some desert landscapes forgo grass in the lawn and replace it with colorful pebbles, sand or colorful blooming spring plants and cacti, although the landscape doesn’t necessarily need to look like a desert to be water efficient.
You still have to provide water to the plants and ground cover but at a rate that is far less than grasses and trees.
The best type of irrigation for desert plants is a drip irrigation system. Drip lines lose little water to evaporation and run-off. While designing your irrigation plan think about grouping plants according to irrigation needs. This process, called zoning, designates areas for plants that will need more water, and areas for plants that will need less water. Some areas of the zone will require no water at all. Zoning reduces wasting water on plants that are hardy and need little or no water to survive in the desert.
No matter what style of landscaping you are using let Greens Keeper Landscape Maintenance give you a quote to solve your landscape problems. We are as close as your phone 623-848-8277.

Well late June early July in southern Arizona is going to lead to a dust or monsoon rain storm. Usually just looking at the clouds building in the southern sky will let you know they are coming or at least a possibility for today or at least tomorrow. The local news tries very hard to give accurate forecasts but they admit that they aren’t going to be right all the time.
You aren’t powerless to help protect your property. You can take steps to prevent or minimize the possible damages.
Do you have furniture around your pool areas? At the very least lower and store the patio umbrellas. Bringing in all the furniture will save them from damage and stop them from becoming “missiles” that do even further damage.
Shutting down pool filters and pumps will minimize damage from the debris and mounds of dirt that can end up in your pool during the storm.
Tender, new plants can be covered to prevent or reduce wind damage as well.
As part of preventive maintenance you can have trees trimmed so weak branches can be pruned rather than be broken away from your trees.
Refuse containers can be closed, locked and anchored so they don’t join the furniture and add to the chaos.
A properly maintained roof is less likely to shed parts than one with loose or already damaged shingles or tiles.
Make sure that all small sheds or maintenance buildings are secure to their foundation before the storm season starts.
At Greens Keeper Landscape Maintenance we are ready to haul away all the storm damage that occurs to your landscape and property.
While Junk Removal can be related to storm damage, it can also be just what you need removed from your property, commercial or otherwise.
If you have anything on your property that needs repair or removal after an Arizona dust or monsoon storm please take the time to give us a call at 623-484-8277 so we can help.

The benefits that trees provide from social, communal, environmental, and economic perspectives.
Most trees and shrubs in cities or communities are planted to provide beauty or shade. While these are excellent benefits, woody plants serve many other purposes. The benefits of trees can be grouped into social, communal, environmental, and economic categories.
Social Benefits
Human response to trees goes well beyond simply observing their beauty. Trees help us feel serene, peaceful, restful, and tranquil in a grove. We are “at home” there. The calming effect of nearby trees and urban greening can significantly reduce workplace stress levels and fatigue and calm traffic. Trees can also reduce crime. Apartment buildings with high levels of green space have lower crime rates than nearby apartments without trees.
The strong tie between people and trees is often evident when community residents speak out against the removal of trees to widen streets or rally to save a particularly large or historic tree.
Communal Benefits
Even when located on a commercial lot, the benefits provided by trees can reach well out into the surrounding community. Likewise, large-growing trees can come in conflict with utilities, views, and structures that are beyond the bounds of the owner’s property. With proper selection and maintenance, trees can enhance and function on one property without infringing on the rights and privileges of neighbors. City trees often serve several architectural and engineering functions. They provide privacy, emphasize views, or screen out objectionable views. They reduce glare and reflection. They direct pedestrian traffic. Trees also provide background to and soften, complement, or enhance architecture.
Trees bring natural elements and wildlife habitats into urban surroundings, all of which increase the quality of life for residents of the community.
Environmental Benefits
Trees alter the environment in which we live by moderating climate, improving air quality, reducing storm water runoff, and harboring wildlife. Local climates are moderated from extreme sun, wind, and rain. Radiant energy from the sun is absorbed or deflected by leaves on deciduous trees in the summer. The larger the tree, the greater the cooling effect. By using trees in the cities, we can moderate the heat-island effect caused by pavement and buildings in commercial areas. Wind speed and direction is affected by trees. The more compact the foliage on the tree or group of trees, the more effective the windbreak. Rainfall is absorbed or slowed by trees, providing some protection for people, pets, and buildings. Trees intercept water, store some of it, and reduce storm water runoff.
Air quality is improved through the use of trees. Leaves filter the air we breathe by removing dust and other particulates. Rain then washes the pollutants to the ground. Leaves absorb the greenhouse gas carbon dioxide during photosynthesis and store carbon as growth. Leaves also absorb other air pollutants – such as ozone, carbon monoxide, and sulfur dioxide – and release fresh clean oxygen.
By planting trees we return developed areas to a more natural environment that is attractive to people and wildlife. Ecological cycles of plant growth, reproduction, and decomposition are again present, both above and below ground. Call Greens Keeper at 623-848-8277 for help with your commercial landscape.

One of the best management practices for healthy lawns is to use a sprinkler system to control watering and water use. We will assume that you already have a properly installed and adusted sprinkler system in use at your commercial location.
Sprinkler Tips
If you are experiencing water run off; Irrigate more often for shorter periods of time.
To help conserve water; Adjust sprinkler heads so they don’t spray walls, driveways or sidewalks.
For a more efficient system; Replace broken and missing sprinklers as soon as they are discovered.
To avoid wasting water; Water shaded areas about 30% less than sunny areas.
If it has rained, reduce irrigations accordingly. The best way to balance water use is with a system that monitors ground moisture as part of the programming.
Note: A typical lawn sprinkler system uses about 10 – 18 gallons per minute per valve or zone. If a lawn has twenty zones and waters for 15 minutes three times per week, the water consumption would range between 45,000 and 75,000 gallons per month.
And remember: Water, Use It Wisely!
If you need help with your commercial properties’ sprinkler system please give Greens Keeper Commercial Landscape Maintenance, LLC a call at 623-848-8277, to see how we can help you solve your water use problems.

Each week we will cover a different topic that relates to the current season and covers a general tip or trick relating to keeping your property and greenery looking it’s best.
Watering
The key to watering for an Arizona summer is to apply no more than necessary and to water deeply. Only water often enough to avoid any wilt between waterings.
During the hot summer months, water lawns no more than once every three days. Remember to water deeply. Water long enough to move water to a depth of 8 to 10 inches into the soil – you can use a probe or long screwdriver to check the depth. The probe moves easily through moist soil and is resistant where the soil is dry. There are water management systems that can help automate the length of time and soil moisture levels as part of the watering process.
A lawn watering guide is available online at Phoenix Area - Turf Water Management. Homeowners also can usually find lawn-watering information in their local newspaper.
The best time to water in the summer is during the cool morning hours before 5 a.m. Sprinklers and timer systems make this a very easy task. This helps minimize evaporation and also helps to prevent fungal growth.
And remember: Water, Use It Wisely!

Some times Junk is not another man’s treasure, it is just plain-old, ordinary, everyday junk.
Webster’s Dictionary tells us that the noun junk is;
1. any old or discarded material, as metal, paper, or rags.
2. anything that is regarded as worthless, meaningless, or contemptible; trash.
3. old cable or cordage used when untwisted for making gaskets, swabs, oakum, etc.
We aren’t sure how it happens. Slowly but surely “junk” just seems to accumulate. One theory is that “junk” results from the missing socks from wash machines all over and must somehow turn into the junk that accumulates in nooks and crannies everywhere. I’m not sure that there is a sound scientific theory to support that but it does brighten my day.
At Greens Keeper Landscape Maintenance we are ready to haul away all the blight that is cluttering your property.
While Junk Removal can be related to storm damage, it can also be just what you need removed from your property, commercial or otherwise.
If you have anything on your property that needs removal please take the time to give us a call at 623-848-8277 so we can help.
We look forward to helping you make your property more beautiful and valuable by clearing away any Junk. No job is too little or too big. We remove your junk one item at a time until it is all gone. We will remove your headaches from commercial property, rentals, homes, garages, estates or storage facilities.
