All-in-One, all year around service

• thorough clean-up — remove branches, leaves, and debris.
• Prune trees, shrubs, and perennials early to promote healthy growth and shape.
• Redefine bed edges and apply fresh mulch for appearance, moisture retention, and weed control.
• lawn care tasks: aeration, dethatching, and apply pre-emergent weed control.
• Fertilize to provide nutrients and stimulate root and plant growth.
• Plant new trees, shrubs, flowers, and divide perennials as needed.
• Inspect, activate, and repair irrigation systems to ensure proper watering for the season.

During the summer, the focus shifts to maintaining the landscape through consistent care and monitoring. Lawns need to be mowed regularly, typically once a week, while maintaining an appropriate mowing height to prevent stress during hot weather. Watering should be deep and infrequent, ideally early in the morning, and irrigation systems should be adjusted according to rainfall and temperature. Weed control becomes crucial, especially in garden beds and turf areas, while light fertilization may be needed based on plant type. Deadheading flowers and light pruning of shrubs help promote continued blooming and maintain neatness. Regular inspections for pests and disease ensure early treatment if issues arise. Mulch may need to be fluffed or topped off to keep beds looking fresh and to help soil retain moisture. Any plants that failed to thrive in spring can be replaced as needed.

Fall is a key transitional period for preparing your landscape for winter and the following growing season. Regular leaf removal is necessary to prevent smothering grass and plants, and lawn mowing continues until the grass stops growing. Gradually lowering the mower height in the final weeks helps the turf enter dormancy. Aeration and overseeding are essential for repairing summer damage and thickening the lawn. Fall fertilization strengthens roots and supports healthy spring growth. Trees and shrubs can be pruned to remove dead or damaged limbs, and this is also a great time to plant new trees, shrubs, and spring-blooming bulbs. Adding mulch around the base of plants provides insulation against winter cold, and irrigation systems should be properly shut down and winterized to prevent damage.

Though growth slows in winter, landscape maintenance continues with a focus on protection and planning. Snow and ice removal from driveways and walkways is essential for safety. Trees and shrubs may need to be wrapped or treated with anti-desiccant sprays to prevent cold and wind damage. Some selective pruning of trees and dormant shrubs can be done during this time. It’s also a great opportunity to service and maintain landscape tools and equipment, ensuring they’re ready for spring. Winter is ideal for evaluating the landscape, identifying areas for improvement, and planning design changes or planting strategies for the coming year. Checking for damage from storms or animal activity helps maintain overall health and readiness.
