We asked the Fockele Garden Company for a landscape design that would build on the planting and hardscape that we had already done- and be drought tolerant, deer resistant, and low maintenance. They came up with a plan that met all those criteria and the installation team expertly executed the plan. By providing proper drainage, irrigation, soil building, and carefully selected and expertly planted trees, shrubs, flowering perennials and groundcover we gave her garden the structure and diversity required to make the garden exactly what our customer wanted.
It's amazing what a difference a stone patio can make over concrete, elevating it to a whole new level of beauty and livability. Artfully arranged, stone pathways provide an inviting way to explore, enjoy and connect outdoor living spaces.
When we begin to work with a new customer, we recommend starting with a landscape design, which may vary in scope from a master site plan to an intimate, special garden. A landscape design is a road map to define and communicate concepts, ideas, goals, solutions, and details between the designer and the customer. For example, what is the scope of the project; what is your budget range; how do you envision using your landscape; do you want a lawn for kids or need something more dog proof; do you entertain outdoors or like to spend time outside in a quiet, shady corner surrounded by the sound of birds and water; does your neighborhood have specific covenants for landscapes?
Water is the central factor around which all elements of garden ideas or landscape ideas are organized. Based on the site details, it's important to design a garden that allows you to manage its water needs. We can design and install irrigation systems to provide the correct amount of water needed to maintain your garden. For example, lawns & beds require different amounts of water so should be on separate zones. We can also help you consider ways to collect rainwater & store it for times of shortage or for water features.
From path lights, to up lights, and even water features lighting, well-placed and carefully selected light fixtures can also highlight your home's architectural features and draw attention to plantings and trees.
All inquiries into our maintenance program are handled first by a return phone call and conversation. We will explain the types of landscaping services we offer and hear from you about your situation and needs. We offer a full-service maintenance program that includes lawn care and mowing, flower bed maintenance, Fall leaf clean-up, mulch and pine straw installation, and seasonal flower planting and care. We also offer add on services such as irrigation monitoring, maintenance and repair; irrigation seasonal startups and shut downs; and low-voltage lighting maintenance and repair.
A fountain can be the centerpiece to any garden, making it the perfect spot to rest and refresh. At The Fockele Garden Company, we design and craft fountains and water features of all kinds to complement your garden setting.
Beautiful Crocuses are blooming now. An amazing factoid: Saffron threads are the dried stigmas of a particular species of Crocus!! One flower produces only three threads (stigmas) of saffron, and it blooms for only one week each year. To yield an ounce of this precious spice, you’ll need about 1,000 flowers. #BloomingNow
If you want a carpet of yellow in late winter, try Winter Aconite. To be successful, you’ll need a spot that is consistently moist all year round, but well drained, has soil that is rich in organic matter, gets full sun in February but is shady by the end of March!! Not too particular, Eranthis...

Fall is a good time for specialty pruning of trees and shrubs. Cutting back spent growth allows for new growth in the spring.
