For our local soils and climate, a combination of core aeration and overseeding is often the most effective solution. Aeration relieves soil compaction, allowing water, air, and nutrients to reach the grass roots. Following that with overseeding introduces hearty, region-appropriate grass varieties to fill in bare spots. This one-two punch addresses the root cause of patchiness and promotes a thicker, healthier, and more resilient lawn.

Absolutely. We offer professional shrub pruning and rejuvenation services. For overgrown shrubs, we use selective pruning techniques to carefully reduce size and restore a natural shape while preserving the plant's health. For severely overgrown deciduous shrubs, we can often perform a controlled rejuvenation prune, cutting them back to stimulate vigorous new growth from the base. This approach solves the immediate issue and sets your shrubs up for healthier, more manageable growth in the future.

Timing is key in our area. For major lawn repairs like aeration and overseeding, early fall is ideal, as cooler temperatures and morning dew support strong seed germination. For pruning most overgrown shrubs, late winter or early spring (while still dormant) is best, as it minimizes stress and allows for robust spring growth. However, light shaping and deadheading can be done as needed. We provide a seasonal care schedule tailored to your specific landscape.
