Q&A

My shrubs in Fort Washington are badly overgrown. What's the best approach to trimming them back?

For overgrown shrubs common in our area, we recommend a multi-stage approach. We first assess the shrub's health and type, then perform a careful renewal pruning to remove dead wood and selectively cut back overgrown branches. This encourages healthy new growth from the base without shocking the plant. For severely overgrown hedges, we may suggest a more gradual process over two seasons to restore their shape and density safely, ensuring your landscape looks tidy and thrives.

My irrigation system in Fort Washington isn't watering properly. Could it be the timer?

Absolutely. Irrigation timer failure is a frequent issue here, often due to power surges, old age, or incorrect programming. We'll first diagnose your timer, checking for error codes and testing the programming. We can repair or replace faulty timers and reprogram them according to current Fort Washington weather patterns and local watering restrictions. We also check the connected valves and wiring to ensure the entire control system is working efficiently to conserve water and protect your investment.

Can you help prevent my shrubs from becoming overgrown again after trimming?

Yes, proactive maintenance is key. After our initial trimming service, we can set up a seasonal pruning schedule tailored to your specific shrubs and Fort Washington's growing cycle. Regular, light trimming maintains the desired shape and size, promotes plant health, and is more cost-effective than dealing with severe overgrowth. We'll advise on the optimal timing—typically late winter or after flowering—to keep your landscape looking manicured year-round.
