Services
Landscape Installation
Our landscape installation service creates customized outdoor environments using proper planting techniques and soil enhancement. We assess each property's unique conditions including drainage patterns, sunlight exposure, and deer activity to recommend optimal plant selections. Our crews utilize Perma-til soil additive to address compaction issues while ensuring proper topsoil composition during installation. This comprehensive approach establishes healthy, sustainable landscapes that thrive long-term.
Lawn Maintenance
We provide scheduled lawn maintenance covering mowing, edging, and weed control tailored to client preferences. Our technicians follow proper pruning techniques for various shrubs and trees while implementing seasonal fertilization programs. Regular maintenance visits include debris removal, bed edging, and irrigation system checks to maintain optimal lawn health throughout the growing season.
Mulching Services
Our mulching services enhance landscape aesthetics while improving soil health through moisture retention and temperature regulation. We offer multiple mulch options including hardwood, dyed hardwood, and pine bark to complement different garden styles. Proper application techniques prevent root suffocation while maintaining appropriate mulch depth around plant bases for optimal growth conditions.
Drainage Systems
We install effective drainage solutions to address water accumulation issues through swales, French drains, and grading adjustments. Our technicians assess site-specific conditions to design systems that redirect runoff while preventing soil erosion. Proper drainage implementation protects plant health and maintains landscape structure during heavy rainfall events.
Seeding & Aeration
Our fall seeding program includes core aeration and thatch removal to improve grass density and root development. We use tested triple-blend tall fescue seed for optimal germination rates, accompanied by soil amendments based on pH testing results. This comprehensive approach establishes thicker, healthier lawns that better resist weeds and environmental stressors.
