Common Questions
How do you handle the common Ann Arbor issue of patchy lawns?
Patchy grass in Ann Arbor often stems from soil compaction, shade, or wear. We start with a soil and site assessment to diagnose the cause. Our approach may include core aeration to relieve compaction, overseeding with shade-tolerant blends suited to our local climate, and adjusting irrigation or mowing practices. We focus on building a healthier, more resilient lawn from the ground up, rather than just a quick fix.
What does your landscape design and construction process involve?
Our process begins with understanding your vision and how you want to use your space. We then assess the site's conditions, like sun exposure and drainage, common in Ann Arbor. From there, we create a practical design plan that may include hardscaping, planting beds, and irrigation. Our family background in the trade ensures the installation is done with careful attention to detail and long-term plant health, transforming the design into a lasting outdoor environment.
Can you help with tree and shrub care, including disease issues?
Absolutely. Our comprehensive tree and shrub services cover planting, pruning, and health management. For diseases or insect issues—common with Michigan's varied climate—we first identify the specific problem. We then recommend a treatment plan, which may include environmentally mindful interventions, proper pruning for air circulation, or strategic replacement with more resistant native species to ensure your greenery stays healthy and vibrant.
