Mulch helps to retain moisture in the beds to help the plants go longer between watering. Proper mulch installation also prevents weeds and erosion. We recommend a yearly mulch application in the Spring between April - July.

Most residential landscapes are designed to have a 10-15 year lifespan. The plants are simply too large for their locations. The evergreen shrubs really cannot be re-sized or pruned too heavily. Eventually, they will need to be removed and replaced with something new. Deciduous shrubs can usually be re-sized and heavily pruned to the proper size. This is best done in the “fall cleanup.” One of our most common jobs is landscape overhauls. Many neighborhoods have hit the 15-20 year age, so the landscapes are very overgrown and in need of replacement. Usually, we will remove everything, and re-design a new landscape. The cost is often less than people expect.

There could be many reasons. Insects, disease, over or under watering, too cold or too hot, over crowding, improper pruning techniques, poor soil, etc.

Weed control starts with a good spring cleanup and mulching. We completely remove and treat all weeds prior to a fresh 2-3” of mulch. Then, we will routinely come by during the season to pull or treat the weeds. Contact us today to join our weeding program.

Starting in the spring, we schedule what most call a “Spring Cleanup.” We will fix any winter damage, prune shrubs, replace old or add new shrubs, edge the beds, pull and treat weeds, and add mulch or stone. Most customers will then schedule a “Summer Pruning.” This is to keep the plants and trees in their proper form, and to prevent them from getting out of hand. Mid September to late October is for aerating, seeding, and planting. The temperature is perfect, and plants and seeds have the highest success rate. November to mid- December we provide “Fall Cleanups.” Most fall cleanups are two visits. The first visit is to provide all the heavy and rejuvenation pruning, and clear the leaves one time. All perennial style shrubs will be cut down, and any remaining shrubs or trees will be pruned or trimmed. The second visit is just to clear the leaves one last time, and mow the lawn to leave the property looking nice and tidy for the winter. After that, we will spray all broadleaf evergreen shrubs with WiltPruf to protect them from the winter. Throughout the entire season, we will be providing lawn mowing and weed pulling.

We buy our mulch locally in Hillsborough. We will pick it up in our trucks and bring it to your job site. The most common and our most recommended mulch is classic natural brown mulch. It's completely organic, and is comprised of ground up trees, stumps, leaves, dirt, etc. The second most common option is black dyed mulch. It's the same compound as the natural brown mulch, but with an added black dye.

We don't recommend the use of fabric under mulch. We typically only use fabric under stone. Over time, the mulch will decompose and break down, creating a rich topsoil. Weeds will happily grow right on top of the fabric in the mulch.

We provide very professional lawn service. We use only modern, new equipment, and sharpen our blades every day to ensure a proper cut. All of our lawns are maintained AS NEEDED. If you have a fertilized, irrigated lawn, this means we will probably mow every week from mid-April through October. If you don't have irrigation and we have a dry spell, there is a chance we will skip your lawn for the week. -Maintenance includes lawn mowing, trimming around all the edges, and blowing off all hard surfaces. -Most lawns are usually maintained later in the week (weather permitting), so the lawn will be freshly cut for you to enjoy on Saturday afternoons and Sundays. -Our leadership team can always be reached by cell phone if there are any issues.
