Greg Davis Landscaping - Grosse Pointe Woods's Reliable Landscaping

The most effective method is a two-part approach: proper mulch installation and pre-emergent treatment. We apply a thick, even layer of quality mulch to block sunlight from reaching weed seeds. More importantly, we use targeted pre-emergent herbicides in early spring, which is crucial for our local climate, to stop weeds like crabgrass and spurge from germinating in the first place. This proactive strategy saves you from constant hand-weeding.

We avoid the harsh 'meatball' trimming that damages plant health. Instead, our expert pruning focuses on selective thinning. We remove dead or crossing branches first, then carefully shape the shrub by cutting back to a bud or lateral branch. This encourages healthy, dense growth from the inside out, restoring a natural, manicured appearance suited to Grosse Pointe Woods homes. The right timing is also key to avoid stressing the plants.

Absolutely. Our comprehensive maintenance visits are designed to address the most common local issues efficiently. We typically schedule visits to tackle weeding in mulch beds and flower borders while simultaneously assessing and pruning overgrown shrubs. This integrated approach ensures your entire landscape receives consistent care, improving overall health and appearance while maximizing the value of your service.
