JR Landscaping: Trusted Landscaping Serving Yarmouth, MA 02673

In most cases, overgrown shrubs common in Yarmouth can be beautifully rejuvenated with expert pruning. Our team specializes in selective trimming and renewal pruning techniques that remove dead wood, open up the plant's center for better air circulation, and encourage healthy, controlled new growth. We assess each shrub to determine the best approach, often saving you the cost and hassle of complete removal and replanting.

Soil compaction occurs when soil particles are pressed together, reducing the pore space needed for air, water, and root penetration. On Cape Cod, our sandy soils are prone to compaction from foot traffic, equipment, and even heavy rain. This creates a hard layer that prevents grass roots from growing deep, leading to thin, weak lawns that struggle with drought and stress. Our core aeration service is the most effective solution, pulling out small plugs of soil to relieve compaction and allow your lawn to breathe and thrive.

For core aeration to relieve soil compaction, the ideal windows on the Cape are early fall or spring when the grass is actively growing and can recover quickly. For shrub pruning, timing depends on the species. We typically perform major rejuvenation pruning on overgrown shrubs in late winter or early spring before new growth starts, while light shaping and maintenance can be done in early summer after the first flush of growth. We'll provide a tailored schedule during your consultation.
