Pretty Leaf - Harvard's Licensed Landscaping Services

Absolutely. Our lawn care services specifically target the common issue of bare patches in our local soil. We start by assessing the underlying cause, which is often soil compaction or nutrient deficiency. Our approach includes core aeration to relieve compaction, overseeding with hardy grass varieties suited for our climate, and proper fertilization to encourage thick, healthy turf that can withstand local conditions.

Soil compaction is a frequent issue here and can starve tree roots of oxygen and water, leading to poor health. Our tree care services are designed to help. For existing trees, we use specialized tools to aerate the root zone carefully. When planting new trees, we take extra steps to prepare a wide, uncompacted planting site with proper soil amendments to give your tree the best possible start for a long, healthy life in your Harvard yard.

For most trees, late winter or early spring is ideal for pruning, as the tree is dormant and wounds heal quickly once growth resumes. However, dead, damaged, or hazardous branches should be removed immediately for safety, regardless of the season. For tree removal, we can work year-round, but winter is often preferred as frozen ground minimizes disruption to your lawn. We'll assess your specific tree and provide the best timing recommendation for our local climate.
