Absolutely. Overgrown shrubs are common here due to our climate and soil. I assess the plant's health and type, then perform careful, selective trimming to encourage new growth and restore its natural shape. For severely overgrown hedges, a phased approach over a season is often best to avoid shocking the plant, ensuring it stays healthy and looks great year-round.

This is a critical issue in our area that can threaten your foundation. I evaluate the slope of your property and identify the problem areas. Solutions often include regrading the soil to create a gentle slope away from the house, installing French drains or channel drains to redirect water, and ensuring your downspouts extend sufficiently. Proper grading protects your home's structure and prevents a muddy, unusable yard.

Having worked here for years, I understand our clay-heavy soil that holds water and our freeze-thaw cycles that affect grading. For plant care, I choose techniques and timing suited to our seasons. For grading projects, I use materials and compaction methods that ensure the correction lasts, preventing the soil from settling back and causing the same drainage issues after a tough winter.
