Frequently Asked Questions
My shrubs in Banner Elk are overgrown and look unhealthy. What's the first step you recommend?
The first step is a professional assessment. We'll visit your property to determine if the issue is due to lack of pruning, disease, or winter damage common in our area. Often, a deep, restorative pruning can rejuvenate overgrown shrubs, but we'll give you an honest evaluation and clear options.
Can you save shrubs that are turning brown and dying, or do they need to be removed?
It depends on the cause and extent of the damage. We'll check for signs of life and root health. Sometimes, aggressive pruning and proper fertilization can save them. If removal is necessary, we handle it cleanly and can recommend hardy, native replacement shrubs better suited for Banner Elk's climate.
What type of shrubs do you recommend for landscaping in Banner Elk to avoid these problems in the future?
We strongly recommend native and adaptive species like Mountain Laurel, Rhododendron, and Inkberry Holly. These plants are naturally resilient to our local weather, soil, and pests, requiring less maintenance and being far less prone to the stress that causes browning and die-off in non-native varieties.
