Spring Maintenance

Hello to all.

Spring is just around the corner although it may not feel like that right now.
It's time to start getting ready to get out in the yard and spruce the place up. Rake up the left over leaves from fall, clean up any fallen branches from the winter winds and storms. Cut back any perennials or grasses that were left during the winter to provide some interest to the landscape in the winter. Prune shrubs that may have gotten unruly last year or may have had been a victim of the winter storms.

Please give us a call so we can help get you ready for spring.

Flower Show

Unfortunately Punxsutawney Phil saw his shadow which means we have another six weeks of winter. However there is a bright spot to this long, cold and dreary season The Philadelphia Flower Show! This will be held at the Philadelphia Convention Center from March 1-8. There are still plenty of tickets left so get off your couch and buy some tickets. This is always my favorite show to go to, I get to see what is new and up and coming. So get out there and get ideas as far as what you want your yard to look like this coming season.

Let's Get Growing!

Hi! Welcome to the Mayfield Gardens blog. Let me introduce myself, my name is Dan Shallow and I work for Mayfield Gardens as a residential designer. I will be writing this blog so you'll be able to see our latest projects, landscaping tips and tricks, and the latest trends in landscaping.

I am excited to get this new part of Mayfield Gardens up and growing. Mayfield Gardens has done amazing work at places you may know (The Philadelphia Art Museum, Citizens Bank Park, Swarthmore College, Drexel University and Thomas Jefferson University to name a few) and now we're going to bring them to your backyard!

I am a local boy, having grown up in Havertown, and I now live in Exton with my wife and son. My wife and I met at Penn State where I earned my B.S. in landscape contracting. I may bleed blue & white, but I'm always thinking green.

I started my landscaping career15 years ago as a summer laborer, and my love for the outside grew from there. My experience with residential landscaping started with simple little landscapes with a few plants and a tree, to large and elaborate landscapes with hardscapes to match. Each are a labor of love that I am proud of.

Come back often to take a look at how we are progressing and to get the latest. Please give me a call 610.353.0363 for all your landscaping needs.
