Brandon Bird Outdoor Services | Landscaping Services in Lexington, MI 48450

The most effective strategy combines proper preparation and maintenance. We start by removing all existing weeds and roots, then apply a high-quality landscape fabric or a thick layer of fresh mulch—typically 2-3 inches deep—to block sunlight and suppress new growth. For long-term control in our local climate, we recommend a seasonal refresh of mulch and targeted, eco-friendly pre-emergent treatments in early spring to stop weeds before they start.

We approach overgrown shrubs with a methodical, health-first strategy. Instead of just shearing the outside, we perform selective thinning and renewal pruning. This involves removing older, thicker branches at their base to allow light and air into the center, which encourages new growth from the inside out. This technique, tailored to Michigan's growing seasons, reduces the shrub's overall size while promoting a denser, more natural shape that won't quickly block your views again.

Absolutely. Many Lexington homes benefit from a coordinated landscape renewal. We can assess your entire property, perform a deep clean of beds, professionally trim and shape all shrubs and hedges, and then install a fresh layer of mulch. This comprehensive service not only instantly boosts your curb appeal but also creates a cleaner, more manageable foundation that makes ongoing maintenance much easier for you, effectively addressing both common local issues in one efficient project.
