Questions and Answers
How can regular lawn care from Boersma help with Ankeny's common problem of soil compaction?
Soil compaction is a frequent issue in Ankeny due to our clay-heavy soil and foot traffic. Our professional lawn care program includes core aeration, a vital service that removes small plugs of soil. This process relieves compaction, allowing air, water, and nutrients to reach the grass roots. When combined with proper fertilization and mowing, it creates a stronger, healthier lawn that can better withstand drought and stress, directly countering the local soil conditions.
My shrubs are overgrown and damaging my siding. What does Boersma Lawn Service recommend?
Overgrown shrubs are a common sight in Ankeny and can cause real damage. We recommend a schedule of professional trimming and pruning as part of your lawn care plan. Our team expertly shapes and reduces the size of your shrubs, not only protecting your home's exterior but also encouraging healthier, denser growth. Proper pruning improves air circulation, reduces disease risk, and keeps your landscape looking neat and well-maintained all season long.
