OUR COMPLETE SERVICE 



^7here is a great significance in the fact that plantings by Towson are so beautiful as to 

 inspire the admiration of everyone who sees them. 



While you may not have a landscape covering acres, there is great satisfaction in knowing 

 your planting, however modest, is carefully conceived and competently completed and 

 cared for. 



TRANSPLANTING — Often the difference between a good and bad garden picture is 

 caused by the poor arrangement of a few perennials, some shrubs, or, in some cases, a single 

 tree. This can usually be rectified immediately by transplanting. With a group of trained 

 nursery men and modern equipment we can safely and quickly remove and rearrange any 

 of your valuable but misplaced plants. 



LAWNS, GRADING 8C SODDING— There is no other part of the garden that can be 

 as great a source of worry and discontent as a badly constructed lawn. If graded or drained 

 improperly it may wash, sour or often allow water to seep into the cellar. Living in a 

 house a lifetime, contending with a wet cellar, a weakened foundation and surrounded by 

 unsightly grounds are usually the results of having the lawn graded, sodded and seeded in 

 a thoughtless, impractical way. It is important that this work, especially the preliminaries, 

 be done by competent men, working from a well-conceived plan and with the best materials 

 and equipment obtainable. 



POOLS 8C WATER GARDENS — No feature in the garden is more attractive or has 

 more soothing appeal than water, whether it is in the limpid pool or the small stream gur- 

 gling its way around the edge of your lawn. Precious little cascades and fountains can be 

 inexpensively built merely by tapping the house supply and piping the water into the 

 garden. 



STONEWORK — Steps, walls, platforms and paths are at their best only when they can 

 be appreciated for their beauty as well as their utility. Nothing lends the welcome air of 

 permanence and solidity to the garden like well executed pieces of stonework. We have 

 attractive flag and rock-garden stone and skilled men available for this type of work. 



SPRAYING dC TRIMMING — Capable men and powerful modern equipment are needed 

 for these operations. To rid plants and trees of rotting or injured wood, to prune them 

 within bounds or to produce fruits and flowers more abundantly, to trim them to desired 

 shapes and to keep injurious insects at a minimum, requires the services of experienced men 

 with a certain amount of natural aptitude for this type of work. Our force is especially 

 trained for this work. 



In addition to the foregoing, other features of our service include the constructing of every 

 kind of garden, improving and revitalizing old plantings, erecting the various types of orna- 

 mental furniture and buildings, feeding and fertilizing every type of plant. 



We survey and plan gardens of every size and character, design accessories, submit draw- 

 ings and estimates and carry out the plans of others. Our wide and varied experience has, 

 in the past, resulted in close co-operation with the country's leading landscape architects.
