Quality Landscaping Maintenance
Lawn Care
When we cut your grass, we are clipping off the tips of the blade, changing the photosynthesizing process in the plant. We cut no more than 30% of the blade at any one time. Cutting 40% or more will prevent too much of the crucial carbohydrates from getting to the roots. So we cut as often as needed, but we avoid frequent gaps in lawn cuts as that negatively effects the growth and overall health of your grass. So we follow the appropriate lawn maintenance and mowing lengths depending on grass type. Fertilizing is an essential part of lawn maintenance. We will provide lawn fertilization geneally scheduled on a quarterly basis.
Plant, Bush and Shrub Care
Whether you need one shrub planted or a complete flower bed designed and installed, you probably have an idea what you want. Plant care for existing plants can be hard work, but we can do it for you. We will show you options or you can choose the types you like. We will put the plants in the ground and make sure you are happy with the result. We guarantee what we plant. We will also inspect any damaged or diseased plants and give advice what to do next. We will then provide maintenance of plants, bushes and scrubs with proper cleaning and feeding.
Tree Service
Tree Pruning is a service we provide frequently. We can prune all shrubs and trees as requested. Techniques vary by type. Some must be pruned to grow correctly, while others show most beautifully when left to nature. Let us know your goals and we will keep the plants in your area looking their best.
Tree removal is a whole different story. Cutting down and disposing of mature trees should be left to a professional who is licensed and insured. We are trained to cut trees properly and safely, including how to direct the branches fall in certain directions and avoid dangers. Plus power equipment and heights don’t mix well with the amateurs. Once the tree is cut to ground level, usually a stump remains. To complete the job, the stump is removed with a stump grinder, which actually cuts similar to a large circular saw. It is cut in several directions and shreds up the stump and the shavings that remain can be used to fill in flower beds or hauled away depending on preference. If you have a compost, the shavings are a great addition to that. Put organic materials in a compost pile, allow them to decompose and then add to flower beds to promote growth.
