Lifetime Landscaping and Services: Licensed Landscaping Serving Westland, MI 48186

For most common shrubs in the Westland area, we recommend trimming at least twice a year: a light shaping in late spring after the initial growth and a more thorough trimming in mid-summer to maintain size. This routine prevents overgrowth, promotes healthy development, and keeps your home's windows and walkways clear.

For long-lasting results against our freeze-thaw cycles, we often recommend heavy-duty plastic or metal edging. These materials are flexible enough to handle ground movement without cracking and provide a sharp, clean barrier that effectively contains mulch and defines your lawn edges for years, preventing the common damage we see around Westland.

It depends on the extent of the damage. For minor issues like sections that have popped up or shifted, we can often re-seat and secure the existing edging. However, for cracked, brittle, or extensively damaged edging—common after several Michigan winters—a full replacement is usually the more reliable and cost-effective solution to ensure a neat, functional border.
