About Roger's Garden & Landscaping

Gallatin's spring announces itself in redbud first, that improbable purple flaring along the fencerows and the walking paths at Triple Creek Park, and then the dogwoods take over in white. That is when the beds want opening — edges recut, mulch laid down dark and even, plantings tucked in while the ground is still soft from rain. Through the rest of the year it is mowing and trimming, the grass held at a height that can carry the heat, the borders kept to their line. Landscaping in this county means working with limestone lying close under the topsoil and summers that come on fast. The reward shows up in June, when the beds look deliberate and the lawn runs right up to them and stops.
