Let Us Keep Your Yard Looking Beautiful Year Around
Yard and Landscape Maintenance
Fine gardening is truly an art, however ties into a nicely designed yard. A great garden has good intent, however to maintain it over time shows just how good it can look. A garden is never static, plants grow and ideas change.
Knowledge of local practices, plants and lawns are essential. Most of us haven’t had schooling in gardening and certainly inherit our yards. Our knowledge is basically that everything grows and we need to hack it back whether we like it or not.
We can help you understand your properties needs! From the gardens, lightning / sprinkler systems, drainage and hardscapes, we can help you keep your property looking its best.
Our motto is no job too big and no job too small!
Lawn care is much more than just mowing, it takes a plan and a variety of techniques and service to maintain a beautiful lawn. To preserve its beauty, health, and longevity, your landscape must be properly maintained.
Our maintenance programs can be set up as a set amount of money per month so you can manage your budget or can be set up by the need at a time and material arrangement. We do fertilizing, weeding, pruning, mulching, transplanting, mowing, blowing and seasonal cleanups.
We are very reasonably priced and you also get the benefit of slowly improving your property over time with Mike Clifford overseeing and directing the timing of everything as small extra jobs.
Proper lawn care includes a lot of mowing. Mowing your lawn is a tricky and challenging task. While lawn mowing can be a fun and relaxing weekend activity, we understand you may not have the time and energy to mow the lawn when and how it is needed. While you can find yourself mowing equipment and possibly do the job all on your own, performing the job is not always the wisest decision to do. In fact, it can be bad for your lawn.
Yes, it’s possible to do the job without professional help. In fact, a lot of property owners are mowing their lawn all on their own. This is because some property owners fail to realize the importance of proper lawn mowing. Our specialists will first evaluate the situation, assess the grass varieties growing on your property and factor in the climacteric conditions of your area.
Depending on all these aspects, they will custom-make a mowing program, heightening and lowering the mower’s blades when needed and treating each turf variety to suit its mowing needs and restrictions. We know how to mow when it is hot or cold outside, when it rains or not, and when weeds or pests threaten to invade your territory. Don’t ever worry about mowing, as our specialists know exactly what to do, when to do it, and how to do it.
Our Company offers excellent grass trimming services to help you create crisp and clean lines between the lawns and other areas on your property. We will keep the grass on your property in check, making sure it looks great. We can also apply different grass trimming methods.
Just like people, lawns and landscapes also need nourishment to grow and develop healthily. Fertilization is essential to achieving a healthy, green lawn. Knowing what to do, when to do it, and what to avoid can be very tricky. Spreading fertilizers on your property sometimes can do more harm than good. Any fertilization plan has to take into account many factors, such as the soil’s PH, the vegetation growing on your property, and the season.
Fertilization is a crucial step in any lawn maintenance program, and it is complementary to other lawn care services.
Aeration, Liming, Weed Control, and Leaf Removal represent key activities in Lawn Care that ensures a healthy and thriving lawn all year long. Aeration helps with the dethatching process, letting the soil breathe, dry and regain its shape. Aeration also allows the roots to grow – and we all know that the stronger they develop, the more resilient they will get in the face of adverse climacteric conditions, weeds, or pests.
The process of Liming helps restore pH balance in your soil and create an environment that promotes grass growth. Just like fertilization, weed control takes many steps, having to be adjusted to the soil’s makeup and needs.
Our programs are designed to help your lawn fight against weeds all season long. Our specialists can tell you what weeds are most likely to appear based on our research of your lawn. Excess leaves restrict sunlight, nutrients, and water from reaching your lawn. We are able to create a clean and professional look by hauling away those excessive leaves.
Edging out all mulched beds gives your landscape a clean look. A crisp edge defines the mulch bed to give it a separation from the turf. This is a rather difficult task that needs proper equipment and skills, as not all areas are easy to reach and tailor at all times.
While edging can be an overlooked task, it is very important to preserve the looks and the health of your landscape, improving the property’s curb appeal and offering it a look to be envied for.
Our tools and equipment, put in the right hands, are able to completely revamp your landscape when time comes, transforming it into a pristine, neat and tidy source of amazement.
This seasonal activity ensures you can constantly enjoy a neat, manicured and thriving landscape. Our trimming services cover bushes and shrubs, hedges, trees and perennial vines. Trimming is an important part of proper landscaping as it helps plants not only look neat and beautiful but boosting their health and their developmental potential.
Our specialists are trained in professional landscaping and horticulture, knowing how to trim the vegetation, so it stays healthy and thrives without much effort. Trimming is also a rather difficult task, as you need to keep attention to the weather conditions, vegetation species, soil nourishment levels, available water and so on.
