Question Answers
As a Milford homeowner, how do you address common issues like lawn moss and overgrown shrubs?
Moss often indicates soil compaction, poor drainage, or excess shade. We start by aerating and improving soil health, then recommend appropriate grass varieties or shade-tolerant ground covers. For overgrown shrubs, our certified arborist provides careful pruning to restore their natural shape and health, or we can advise on transplanting or removal if needed. Our approach focuses on correcting the underlying cause, not just the symptom, for a lasting solution.
What does the landscape design and construction process with Hollens' Landscaping involve?
Owner Dave Hollens works with you directly from start to finish. We begin by listening to your ideas, budget, and how you want to use your space. Dave then offers expert suggestions on plants, hardscapes like patios and walkways, and layout. Together, we create a practical blueprint. Our crew then handles all construction—from grading and retaining walls to irrigation and planting—ensuring the design is built correctly for lasting enjoyment and minimal maintenance.
Why is it important that your owner is a certified arborist for tree and shrub care?
A certified arborist is trained in the science of tree and shrub biology, health, and safety. This expertise is crucial for proper planting, diagnosing diseases or insect issues, and performing precise pruning that promotes plant health rather than harming it. For services like shrub transplanting or tree care, this knowledge ensures your investment is protected and your plants thrive for years, which is a core part of our comprehensive landscape maintenance since 1984.
