Our Services

Spring

Spring Clean-up:  cleaning all beds, under shrubs and lawn areas of leaves, branches, papers, garbage, etc.; perennials are cleaned; shrubs are trimmed as needed; and the entire lawn is swept.

Lawn Aeration:  the removal of small cores (plugs) of soil to reduce soil compaction and promote root growth for a healthier lawn.  This process allows air, water and nutrients to more readily reach the root zone and opens up the thatch layer.  It also stimulates new growth, improves drainage, provides a better environment for overseeding and increases the effectiveness of applied fertilizers and control products.  The plugs will gradually break down over the next few weeks.

Overseeding:  the process of adding additional seed to lawn areas after power raking.  This helps to strengthen problem areas.

Power Raking:  removal of excessive thatch build-up in lawn areas.  This process allows air, water and nutrients to reach the root zone.
