Complete Lawn Care

  There's a lot that goes into having that perfect lawn. Not only do you have to make sure it gets the proper nutrients and the right amount of water, but how you cut it plays a major part. Cutting too much off at once or cutting too low will result in a patchy look, promote weed growth, and even cause your lawn to burn. Having equipment that doesn't receive proper maintenance can also result in your grass to be torn instead of cut, resulting in ragged edges and making your grass not very green. Reseeding is a very important part of having that perfect lawn, and knowing when to reseed is an important balance. Do it when not needed and you wasted your money, do it too late and that perfect lawn no longer looks so perfect. How full or green your lawn is doesn't matter if it isn't edged correctly into paths or the driveway, or if it isn't trimmed properly around garden beds or other objects. All these factors are why you should have professionals like us with the right equipment manage your lawn care.

 

Pruning and Hedge Trimming

  An important part of having healthy and attractive flowers, shrubs and bushes is knowing how and when to prune or trim them. The type of species, when it blooms and it's location all have a factor in this. Even the shape of the top of shrubs can make them more susceptible to snow damage. If too much is trimmed off, not only will you create bare spot, but you could potentially end up killing the plant. If pruned or trimmed properly, the plant will grow in a pleasant way and will also be fuller and stronger as opposed to doing nothing at all.

 

Mulch

  Mulch is a way to add color and texture to your landscape while accenting your plants and trees. How it's put down will determine how much maintenance it will need, not just throughout the season, but for years to come. If proper landscaping fabric isn't placed down first then you can be spending your summers picking out weeds to keep your mulch beds clean looking. How much mulch mulch is put down will determine if your plants are receiving enough moisture and are having their roots protected from temperature fluctuations and extremes. Put too much down and you just waisted money.

 

Hardscape

  Whether it's pathways, patios or walls, adding stone to your property is a great way add functionality and beauty while creating great contrast. If done properly, they can add all of those features will little to no maintenance. Having the proper base and drainage will ensure that the stone stays where it's placed, otherwise, in no time at all you could have uneven surfaces or wall failure. To install any of these the correct way by hand is very labor intensive and back breaking. Having the proper equipment can make quick work of it, which in turn minimizes the disturbance and lets you get to enjoy the new feature of your property sooner.

 

Flower Bed Design and Sculpting

  It's amazing how much flower beds do. They can add curb appeal, focal points, accents, and determine the flow of your property. This can be a two way road, however, where if it's done improperly they can be off putting, clash with other things and make your property feel choppy. Simple things like the transition from the flower bed to the lawn, whether is has a border, a wall, or no edging, can make a large difference. The height of the bed also can change it's appearance significantly. When designing and sculpting a flower bed the future needs to be taken into consideration as well. The height of each plant, how much they will grow in all directions, the colors they will produce along with if of when they will bloom all have a factor that will help determine the size and shape of the bed along with the spacing of each flower, shrub or tree. How the flower bed is made will also determine how successful it will be. Things required for the bed to succeed is to make sure that proper soil is used so that all of the plants will receive nutrients, having the bed at a height that ensures good drainage, having landscaping fabric installed correctly to deter weeds, using the required amount of mulch to retain moisture and protect plants from temperature fluctuation and extremes, having the correct spacing so that there will be no crowding while also having no awkward bare spots, and having the a good variety or plants and colors to create a nice, pleasant flow.
