SWEET DIRT DESIGNS focuses almost exclusively on seasonal plantings. This narrow concentration makes our product exceptional: We often 'rescue' containers planted by landscapers who have little design experience and even less knowledge of the plants. With our considerable expertise, we can also help you determine the size, style and place-ment of planters you need, and then source and procure them too. 
Containers can be planted seasonally, including holiday installations or other arrangements for the winter.  For some, summer flowers are all that are desired and this is fine by us.  And while the heart of our business is containers, we also install in-ground annuals for customers (bedding plants). This service includes sweeps of impatiens or begonias, gorgeous mixed beds of continuous bloom and selective additions in perennial gardens for extended flowering. 
​Additionally, Sweet Dirt offers a maintenance service to prune, dead-head and fertilize your containers to keep them healthy and beautiful.

​Why Maintenance?

Plants grow. Blossoms die. For a planter to look good all season, it needs love. We offer periodic maintenance to deadhead, prune and fertilize your planters. We can visit weekly, monthly or somewhere in between. And we have a watering service for when you are away or just so you never have to think about it. With regular maintenance,
​a planter will look better, and better for longer. Indeed, with periodic attention a pot planted up in May will still look beautiful into autumn.
