FAQs
How can your lawn care services help with Chapel Hill's compacted soil?
Our core lawn care service includes aeration, which is crucial for our area's heavy clay soils. We use specialized equipment to pull small plugs of soil, creating channels for air, water, and fertilizer to penetrate the root zone. This directly alleviates compaction, promoting deeper roots and a more drought-resistant, lush lawn.
What do you do for overgrown shrubs during a standard service?
As part of our comprehensive lawn care, we assess and manage overgrown shrubs. We perform careful pruning to maintain their health and shape, removing dead or obstructive branches. For shrubs that are too large or unhealthy, we can discuss removal and replacement options to improve your landscape's overall look and health.
As a Chapel Hill homeowner, when is the best time to address these lawn issues?
For soil compaction, early fall or spring are ideal for aeration, giving grass roots time to recover during cooler, wetter seasons. Overgrown shrubs are best trimmed in late winter or early spring before new growth starts. However, we provide evaluations year-round and can create a schedule that tackles these common issues at the right time for your specific yard.
