When it comes to your yard, we take its health and appearance very seriously. Yard maintenance requires attention throughout each season and is not something that should just be done once a year.
We start the season with Spring cleanups, which focuses on cleaning and weeding your planting beds as needed, and then re-edging the beds to prepare for mulch (by request). It is also important that pruning or thinning of herbaceous plantings, as well as deadwood removal be taken care of at this time. In the Spring, plants are coming out of dormancy and will respond very well to this treatment. We finish your cleanup by dethatching all lawn areas and blowing off any debris.
Mulching follows shortly after the cleanup and is applied to all planting beds at a depth of no more than 2”, with extra care taken to avoid “mulch mounding” around the base of plantings; this can cause rotting to occur. Regular mulching of planting beds aids in moisture retention and keeps root systems cool and insulated during hot summer months.
Throughout the Summer season (a.k.a. the “growing” season), a couple of visits are usually required to perform regular pruning and trimming of plants, weeding, cleaning of beds, and checking on overall landscape health.
As the Summer comes to a close (typically between September and October) we offer our very popular Aeration, Overseed, and Compost Top Dress Services. See more detail about that service here:
