Thatch develops when organic matter accumulates faster than the organisms can deal with it, which is what happens when you over fertilize and water frequently and shallowly. Thatch is the layer of debris that accumulates above the soil and below the blades of grass. A shallow layer of thatch acts as a natural mulch to retain moisture and lower soil temperature. With every spring clean up Dawson's Landscaping LLC recommends de-thatching your lawn to help maintain a healthy thatch layer and also to promote new seedling growth for the upcoming growing season.

The essence of any good landscape design should embrace the homeowner's personality and lifestyle, while also complimenting its surrounding. There are three key elements to composing a sound landscape design; functionality, visual appeal, and client's needs and desires. The design process begins with a personal consultation at the client's home to discuss personal needs, plant choices, time spent on maintaining the landscape, hardscape options, and also any future plans that they might see. At the same time we try and identify the unique features and specific challenges that your property might present us.

Gutters are designed to collect rainwater from the roof towards downspouts and away from the foundation of the house. Unfortunately debris is likely to collect inside of gutters, impeding upon the natural process of diverting water away from the house and possibly lead to overflowing and possible damage to the foundation. Routine maintenance is required to ensure that problems like these don't arise. Sometimes simple maintenance can help save from potentially disastrous problems. Dawson's Landscaping LLC recommends cleaning your gutters twice a year (spring & fall) to prevent possible problems from occurring.
