Lashley's Landscaping: Qualified Landscaping Serving Cape May Court House, NJ 08210

Bare patches here are often due to our sandy soil, compaction, or seasonal stress. The best approach is aeration to relieve compaction, followed by top-dressing with a quality soil mix and overseeding with a grass variety suited to our local climate. We recommend doing this in early fall for the strongest root establishment before winter.

For most common shrubs in our area, a seasonal pruning schedule works best. A light shaping in late spring after new growth appears, followed by a more thorough trimming in mid-summer, helps maintain size and health. It's crucial to avoid heavy late-fall pruning, as new growth may not harden off before our first frost.

Absolutely. Consistent maintenance is key to preventing problems. Our local service includes regular mowing at the proper height to encourage deep roots, edging for clean lines, and monitoring for early signs of stress or disease. A proactive plan tailored to your specific yard is the most effective way to avoid bare spots and uncontrolled overgrowth.
