Overgrown Landscape Management

We offer several options to tackle overgrown landscapes, each with varying costs based on your needs and the type of weeds involved:


  1. String Trimming and Herbicide Application:
    • We'll start by using a string trimmer to knock down all overgrowth.
    • Following this, we can apply one or more rounds of glyphosate to prevent regrowth and control weeds effectively.


  1. Weed Control and Fertilizer Application:
    • This option includes applying a combination of weed control and fertilizer designed to target a wide range of grassy and broadleaf weeds.
    • It’s an excellent choice for long-term maintenance and improving the overall health of your landscape.


  1. Manual Weed Removal:
    • In some cases, we can go through the area and manually pull weeds.
    • This option works well for specific types of weeds or if a chemical-free approach is preferred.


Each approach is tailored to fit your budget and the specific challenges of your landscape. Contact us to discuss your needs and find the best solution for restoring your outdoor spaces!

Professional Pruning

When to Prune and Why It's Essential

The best time to prune depends on the type of tree or shrub and the reason for pruning. Regular pruning not only ensures your trees and shrubs grow healthier and look better but also helps them resist diseases and pests, protecting your investment and encouraging proper growth throughout the year.


Timing

  • Deciduous Trees: Late winter to early spring (dormant season) is ideal for shaping and reducing disease risks.
  • Evergreen Trees: Late winter or early spring, with light touch-ups in mid-summer if needed.
  • Flowering Shrubs: Prune spring bloomers after flowering and summer bloomers in late winter or early spring.
  • Fruit Trees: Late winter pruning promotes healthy fruit production.


Dealing with Storm Damage

Severe storms can break branches, cause improper growth, and increase susceptibility to disease or infestation. Pruning after storms helps:

  • Remove damaged or broken branches.
  • Restore the plant's natural shape.
  • Prevent further stress or infection.


Benefits of Proper Pruning

  • Keeps plants growing properly and happily year-round.
  • Promotes stronger, healthier growth.
  • Enhances the tree's or shrub’s aesthetics.
  • Reduces the risk of disease and pest infestations.


Address storm damage promptly to maintain the health and safety of your trees and shrubs, even if it requires pruning outside the usual schedule.

Benefits of Mulching Landscaped Areas

Mulching landscaped areas provides numerous benefits for your garden and plants:


  1. Moisture Retention:
    • Mulch helps soil retain moisture by reducing evaporation, which is especially important during dry periods.

  1. Weed Control:
    • A layer of mulch suppresses weed growth by blocking sunlight, reducing competition for nutrients and water.

  1. Temperature Regulation:
    • Mulch acts as an insulating layer, keeping soil cooler in summer and warmer in winter.

  1. Soil Health Improvement:
    • Organic mulch breaks down over time, enriching the soil with nutrients and improving its structure.
    • It also promotes beneficial microbial activity and earthworm presence.

  1. Erosion Prevention:
    • Mulch helps prevent soil erosion by reducing the impact of rain and wind on bare soil.

  1. Aesthetic Appeal:
    • A fresh layer of mulch enhances the visual appeal of your landscape by providing a clean and uniform look.


How Often Should Mulching Be Done?

  • Frequency:
    • Typically, mulching should be refreshed once or twice a year, depending on the material used and local conditions.
    • A spring application is ideal to prepare for the growing season, and a fall refresh can help protect plants over winter.
  • Thickness:
    • Apply mulch in a layer 2-4 inches thick. Avoid piling it directly against plant stems or tree trunks to prevent rot and pests.
  • Maintenance:
    • Over time, mulch can become compacted or depleted. Lightly raking the existing layer can help loosen it and improve its effectiveness.


By mulching regularly and maintaining the right thickness, you'll keep your landscaped areas healthier, reduce maintenance, and enhance your property's curb appeal.
