Q&A
My shrubs are completely overgrown and blocking my windows. Can you help, and what's the best time of year for this in Cleveland?
Absolutely. We specialize in reclaiming overgrown shrubs that are common in our older Cleveland neighborhoods. While we can perform corrective pruning most of the year, the ideal time for major reshaping in our climate is late winter or early spring, before new growth starts. This timing reduces stress on the plant and allows for a full season of healthy, controlled regrowth. We'll assess the shrub type and health to create a plan that restores visibility and shape without harming the plant.
Tree roots from my mature maple are creating huge bumps and dead spots in my lawn. Can this be fixed permanently?
This is a very frequent issue in Lakewood and Cleveland with our beautiful, mature tree canopy. While we can't remove the necessary roots without harming the tree, we have effective solutions. Our process involves carefully grading the soil over the roots and then installing a new, level layer of high-quality sod or seed that's more tolerant of shade and root competition. We also recommend a tailored lawn care regimen to strengthen the grass in these challenging areas. It's a durable repair that restores a smooth, green lawn.
Do you offer ongoing maintenance to prevent these common problems from coming back?
Yes, and we highly recommend it for long-term landscape health. Our maintenance plans are designed specifically for Cleveland's growing conditions. We schedule regular shrub trimming to keep growth manageable and attractive, preventing the need for drastic cuts later. For lawns, our seasonal aeration, seeding, and fertilization services help build a thick, resilient turf that better competes with surface roots and recovers from wear and tear. Think of it as preventative care for your property.
