Planting and Flowerbed Installation in Merrillville, IN
A thoughtfully designed flowerbed can transform the look of any property—adding color, structure, and personality to front yards, walkways, and outdoor gathering areas. ALM & CEO Landscaping and Services LLC provides professional planting and flowerbed installation services in Merrillville, IN tailored to both residential and commercial landscapes. Whether you’re looking to build new beds, renovate outdated ones, or remove overgrown gardens entirely, our team offers expertise, quality materials, and seasonal precision to ensure long-lasting beauty.
Proper planting involves more than digging a hole. It requires consideration of soil conditions, light exposure, plant selection, bed shape, spacing, and long-term growth patterns. We guide each project with a balance of aesthetic planning and horticultural knowledge to deliver healthy, attractive results that fit your property’s environment and design.
Seasonal Planting and Rotation
Each season brings new opportunities for color and variety. We offer seasonal planting services in spring, summer, and fall to keep your beds looking fresh and vibrant. Popular seasonal rotations include pansies and bulbs in spring, petunias and marigolds in summer, and mums or ornamental kale in fall.
Our team selects plants that thrive in Merrillville’s climate and coordinates bloom times so your beds remain lively throughout the growing season. For commercial properties, HOAs, or managed estates, seasonal changeouts are scheduled ahead of time to maintain a consistently professional appearance.
We also provide care instructions and follow-up services to ensure your flowers remain healthy and well-maintained as they establish.
Native and Low-Maintenance Plant Selections
Native plants are increasingly popular in landscape design due to their drought resistance, disease tolerance, and compatibility with local pollinators. ALM & CEO Landscaping helps clients choose native or low-maintenance plant varieties that align with their goals for sustainability and ease of care.
We recommend perennials and shrubs that flourish in Merrillville’s conditions without requiring frequent watering, chemical treatments, or specialized pruning. This approach reduces long-term maintenance while supporting local biodiversity.
Shrub and Tree Planting
In addition to flowers and ornamental plants, we install shrubs and small trees as structural elements in garden beds and borders. These additions provide height, texture, and year-round interest to complement surrounding plantings.
Shrub varieties may include boxwood, hydrangea, spirea, or juniper, while small ornamental trees such as dogwood, redbud, or Japanese maple are placed for focal points and shade. We prepare planting holes to proper depth and width, amend soil as needed, and secure each plant with proper spacing and support.
Mulching and watering follow every shrub or tree installation to encourage strong root development and minimize transplant stress.
Flowerbed Removal and Renovation
Overgrown, neglected, or outdated beds can detract from a property’s appearance and cause maintenance issues. We offer flowerbed removal and renovation services for clients who want to start fresh or reclaim outdoor space.
Removal includes clearing old mulch, pulling out weeds, extracting overgrown plant material, and disposing of dead or diseased vegetation. We then prepare the soil for replanting or reseeding, depending on the new landscape plan.
Clients may choose to redesign the bed layout, downsize the planting area, or convert the space into lawn, mulch, or hardscape. Our team provides consultation and recommendations based on soil health, irrigation, and future use.
Bed Edging and Mulch Integration
Clean, defined edges enhance the visual structure of any flowerbed. As part of our installation process, we edge all beds to create clear boundaries between grass and garden space. Edging can be done with natural cut trenches or with permanent edging materials such as steel or composite borders.
We also install mulch over new plantings to retain moisture, suppress weeds, and regulate soil temperature. Mulch is applied at appropriate thickness and kept clear of plant bases to prevent rot and promote air circulation.
Clients may choose from a variety of mulch options including shredded hardwood, cedar, dyed blends, or bark nuggets depending on color preference and property style.
