Questions and Answers
As an Ann Arbor homeowner, how do you handle common issues like weeds in mulch beds or tree roots damaging my lawn?
We address these local Ann Arbor challenges directly. For mulch bed weeds, we focus on proper bed preparation, using quality mulch that suppresses growth, and implementing targeted, careful weeding practices. Regarding surface tree roots, we offer solutions like strategic root pruning by our certified arborists, regrading the affected lawn area, or transitioning the space to a shade-tolerant ground cover that works with the tree's natural growth, preserving your tree's health while fixing the lawn damage.
What does your year-round lawn and snow service schedule look like for Southeast Michigan?
Our services are tailored to Southeast Michigan's distinct seasons. In spring and summer, we focus on lawn care, mowing, pruning, and building custom landscapes with features like patios and retaining walls. Come fall, we prepare properties for winter. Once snow arrives, our fleet of plows and dedicated staff are on call to provide reliable residential and commercial snow removal, ensuring your property is accessible and safe all winter long.
Do you handle tree removal and what happens to the stump afterwards?
Yes, our comprehensive tree care services include safe removal by our experienced team. We follow up with complete stump removal using specialized equipment, grinding the stump below ground level. This not only improves the appearance of your yard but also prevents tripping hazards, stops new sprouting, and clears the area so you can replant grass, a new tree, or use the space for other landscaping features.
