Lawn Maintenance – How We Do It
When we come to your property, we are going to be completely thorough in our service. Lawn Care service includes the following:
- 1. Mowing with a professional grade lightweight mower that won’t tear up your yard
- 2. Line trimming all the areas on the property including fences, around posts, trees, and curbs
- 3. Edging the sidewalks, driveways, and curbs with a metal blade edger
- 4. Cleaning up all grass clippings on the property
The price you pay is determined by the square footage of the turf on the property. We don’t upcharge if you live in a fancy neighborhood. The price is the price, and it’s fair across the board. Some other things to note during service: If we are servicing your property and notice an empty trash can needs to be brought back up to the house from the road then we are going to do it. We pick up kids toys before we mow and place them on the porch. We refill your dog's water bowl if we notice it getting low. These are just the extras that set us apart, and it’s normal day to day activities for us.

Hedge Trimming
Established hedges require trimming to keep them dense and compact that's why we provide hedge trimming service. Formal hedges require more frequent trimming than informal hedges.
When to Trim Hedges
New hedges require formative pruning for their first couple of years after planting. Formative pruning is usually carried out in winter or spring.
After this, maintenance trimming is carried out, usually once a year for informal hedges and twice a year for formal hedges. Some formal hedges may need three cuts a year. Maintenance trimming is generally carried out between spring and summer.
Aeration / Overseed
- Aeration reduces soil compaction. Just as you wouldn’t try to plant a flower in concrete, a rock hard soil bed is not conducive to a great lawn either. Loose soil allows grass roots to plunge deeper into the soil to find vital water resources in times of stress.
- Aeration reduces thatch. Thatch is made up of grass stems and roots that accumulate faster than they breakdown. Excessive thatch creates an environment that is favorable to pests and disease.
- Aeration allows access to the root zone. By penetrating the soil, you’re allowing moisture, air, & food to the root zone where nutrients are absorbed.
- Aeration enhances seed germination. Seeds germinate easily in aerator holes as the holes provide them a place to hide.
- Overseeding introduces new grass seed to fill in bare or thin areas as well as thickens existing turf. Over time, grass plants reach their peak and need to be replaced. Different factors contribute to the breakdown of the grass including foot traffic, heat, lack of water, environmental conditions, pet waste, etc.
- Overseeding builds resistance to disease. By incorporating different blends of grass seed, you reduce your risk to diseases that can wipe out your entire lawn.
- Aeration and overseeding will help to reduce weeds. Opportunistic weeds germinate in areas where they can be successful. Crabgrass grows in thin areas, nutsedge pops up in thin/low spots, and broadleaf weeds spread where there is little desirable grass. The best defense is to have a thick lawn.
- Aeration and overseeding will immediately improve your lawn’s current appearance. If your lawn was attacked by fungus, insects, or animals, a core aeration and overseeding will help. You’ll be able to see seed germination in 7-10 days.
Mulching
Spring is coming and it’s time to start thinking about mulching your flower beds for the summer. Our flowerbed mulching services are very useful for you because natural mulch is extremely beneficial for a garden. It traps moisture in the soil so you don’t have to water as often, and it acts as an insulator so your plants’ roots don’t get too hot. (It has the same effect in the winter, keeping plants from getting too cold.) And it suppresses weeds, so you don’t have to weed as often!
What is the Best Natural Mulch?
There are a number of natural mulches out there, with hardwood bark mulch, pine straw and old hay most popular. Which is the best choice for your garden?
Using pine straw mulch
Pine straw is good for suppressing weeds. It has a tendency to form a thick mat, and woe to the weed that tries to come up through that! But pine straw is not for every garden. Over time it can turn your soil acidic and make it difficult to grow anything there. Some plants love acid soil. If your flower bed is primarily made up of these acid-loving plants, then pine straw is not only okay, it’s perfect.
Using hardwood bark mulch
Most people’s gardens grow plants that prefer their soil neutral to sweet (alkaline). Hardwood bark mulch is the best for those plants. It decomposes into a rich, sweet-smelling black dirt, and it looks ever so tidy while doing it. Plus, hardwood bark mulch is the best for amending your soil. The problem is, it’s expensive, especially when you’re buying it from a garden center at a four dollars seventeen a bag (and they’re not big bags, either.
