This client had let her garden go the year before this and it was taken over by various types of weeds, feeling exasperated she hired a landscaper who simply came in and put black fabric ground cloth over all the weeds and plant material and covered it with mulch the fall before calling us. They hadn't pulled any weeds and covered up all the well established plant material. They simply weed wacked everything down and covered it up. The problem in the spring was the weeds started growing up through any holes in the cloth and all around the sides of the beds.

Our group came in and removed all of the ground cloth, turned all the beds around the plant material that could be saved, pulled any weeds that were growing up through and under the ground cloth and reapplied the mulch.

Early in the season, we added plant material that we purchased within the budget of the client, in consultation with the client. Through the summer, we often have excess plant material when thinning other clients gardens, with permission of those clients, we re-distribute the plant material to our other clients and create new landscapes with a variety of plants that our clients otherwise would not have spent the money on. Having a variety of clients allows us to add plant material without cost to our clients, with exception of labour.

We managed to save some of the existing plant material.

As you can see in this shot some of the old plant material and plenty of weeds were able to survive being covered with the landscape fabric and mulch and in this picture, very early in the spring, they began to emerge. They did leave a half dozen types of perennials undercovered that they recognized, such as the Daylily clump in the front of this bed.
