Ornamental Annual Planting and Maintenance Services:
- Fall
- Autumn colors will keep appeal and spirits high as the weather becomes cold and damp. We will plant the fall annuals in your ornamental flower beds after the temperature falls below 70 degrees. The fall annuals will bring seasonal color to your property throughout and winter and into the spring until the temperature reaches 85-90 degrees.
- Summer
- When the temperature is right, we will replace your fall/winter annuals with brightly colored spring/summer annuals flowers. If you choose, we can plant some drought-resistant beauties to help you conserve water. All of the summer annuals we plant are typically available in late April/early May and will last until the first frost in the fall/winter.

Lewey Landscaping & LawnCare, Inc. offers a selection of mulches:
- Triple Shredded Hardwood
- The most common mulch that is shredded in appearance and brown in color
- Designer Mulch
- This mulch has a finer appearance, and it is available typically available in black, brown, and red
- As its name implies, Designer Mulch is more expensive than triple shredded hardwood mulch
Other mulch options may also be available for commercial and HOA clients requiring 90 yards or more.
Mulch will be spread between 1-3 inches deep to retain moisture in the soil while also reducing weed growth. We will vary the depth of the mulch based on our client's requirements
Additional definition may be achieved by edging the beds with a Trenchmaster at an additional cost.
Pine straw is a traditional ground cover used in North Carolina
- We prefer to use the pine straw from North Carolina's State Tree, the Longleaf Pine
- We use high quality pine straw that has much less sticks and pinecones that your typical superstore pine straw
NOTE: The City of Raleigh (with included municipalities) and the Town of Cary, NC approved laws prohibiting the placement of pine straw within 10 feet of all flammable buildings, other than single-family homes and duplexes.
