Lawn & Garden Care
As a professional landscape company, we provide numerus different types of lawn treatment applications to keep your lawn green, lush, healthy and of course weed free. By including lawn care applications to your maintenance contract, ensures healthy grass improvement and beautiful lawn appearance to your home or commercial property. A typical lawn care program includes:
-
March-April: Pre-emergent weed control is applied to prevent new weeds from germinating in early spring. Fertilizer is also applied to replenish nutrients lost during the winter, promoting new healthy lawn growth.
-
May-June: Post emergent weed control is applied to target any existing weeds including crab grass and dandelions. Insect control is applied to target beetle larvae or otherwise known as grubs, to prevent brown patches in your lawn throughout the summer. Fertilizer is also applied to maintain vital nutrients.
-
July-August: Summer fertilizer is applied to maintain nutrients needed for your lawn to thrive during the hot summer days.
-
September-October: After the hot summer days we aerate the lawn to help loosen up soil, also allowing nutrients, water and air reach the roots of the lawn. During the aeration process we seed and fertilize the lawn. This process strengthens the root system for the winter months as well as rejuvenates weather-stricken grass for a beautifully-green autumn lawn.
-
November: Slow-release winter fertilizer is applied to provide essential nutrients through the winter months and promote a healthy spring lawn.
Not only is it important to maintain your lawn but your gardens as well. Our garden care services include:
-
Fertilizer: For plants, shrubs and ornamental trees to promote color and growth.
-
Weed Control: To prevent the growth of weeds in garden beds.
Trimming & Pruning
Overgrowth of trees and shrubs can significantly decrease the aesthetic appeal of your landscape and also can create multiple issues such as hiding spots for pests, hinder the growth of nearby plants, obstruct windows and pathways, and more. Trimming and pruning can look like a simple task, however it can be very dangerous and cause serious damage to the plants if not done the correct way or during the right season. Trimming can provide many benefits including promoting new growth and maintaining a manicured look. Whether at your home or business it's best to leave the trimming to the landscape professionals. Our trimming services include:
-
Trimming & Pruning: We provide the option for a combination of trimming and hand pruning to all flowers, shrubs and ornamental trees under 10ft. once per year on our basic contracts with the option for more times if desired.
-
Green Giant Trimming & Topping: Green Giants can be a big investment in your landscape which is why it is important to maintain them. Sheering the sides of the Green Giants results in a fuller, more thicker compact bush while also promoting new height growth. Topping the Green Giants will control the overall height while also promoting fuller, more thicker growth. Both can be done to maintain a aesthetically pleasing shape or privacy hedge. The best time to trim a Green Giant is late winter or early spring before new growth begins.
