Frequently Asked Questions
Can snow removal services in Rutland help prevent lawn and shrub damage?
Absolutely. Proper snow removal is the first step in protecting your landscape. We use techniques to avoid piling heavy snow on delicate shrubs and ensure proper drainage to prevent ice melt from pooling and damaging grass roots or causing soil compaction, which is a common cause of patchy lawns come spring.
My shrubs are dying after winter. Is this something a handyman can fix?
While a handyman can remove dead growth, the underlying issue often requires a landscaper's expertise. At All Hands Services, our combined skills allow us to assess if the damage is from heavy snow, salt spray, or disease. We can prune correctly, recommend hardy native replacements for Rutland's climate, and improve the soil to give new plantings a strong start.
How soon after snow melts should I address my patchy lawn?
Early spring is ideal. Once the ground is no longer soggy, we can assess the bare patches. Often, compaction from winter foot traffic and snowplows is the culprit. Our services include core aeration to relieve compaction and overseeding with grass varieties suited for Rutland, giving your lawn a head start on thickening up before summer.
