Mike's Landscaping: Best Landscaping Serving Kent, OH 44240

Patchy grass in our area is often due to soil compaction, thinning from shade, or seasonal stress. The best approach is a core aeration and overseeding service, typically done in the fall. This relieves soil compaction, allows for better water and nutrient absorption, and introduces new, hardy grass seed to fill in bare spots. We tailor our seed mix to thrive in Kent's specific soil and climate conditions for lasting results.

For most common shrubs in Kent, a good rule of thumb is once or twice a year. Light pruning for shape is best done in late spring after new growth appears. More significant trimming to control size or rejuvenate overgrown shrubs should be done in late winter while plants are dormant. We assess each plant's type and health to create a schedule that keeps your landscape looking neat without harming the shrubs.

Yes, beyond looking unkempt, overgrown shrubs in Kent can cause real problems. They can block windows and sightlines, create damp areas that promote mold and mildew on your home's siding, and provide hiding places for pests. Dense, overgrown foundation plantings can also trap moisture against your home. Our professional trimming service opens up your landscape, improves air circulation, and helps protect your property's value and integrity.
