Tammaro Landscaping - Cape Elizabeth's Licensed Landscaping

Our snow removal team uses lightweight equipment and careful techniques to minimize ground pressure, which helps prevent soil compaction—a common issue in our area. We avoid heavy machinery on thawing ground and strategically plow to distribute weight, protecting your lawn's root structure. This approach ensures your soil stays aerated and healthy, ready for spring landscaping.

Yes, absolutely. While performing snow removal, our trained crew keeps an eye out for shrubs that may be struggling due to winter stress, salt damage, or improper snow pile placement—common causes of dying shrubs here. We can note these issues and schedule a spring consultation to assess soil conditions, recommend native replacements, or implement protective measures to revive your landscape.

After winter snow removal, we recommend core aeration and overseeding in early spring to alleviate soil compaction common in Cape Elizabeth yards. Our process involves removing small soil plugs to improve air and water penetration, then seeding with hardy grass varieties suited to Maine's climate. This combats compaction, promotes root growth, and prepares your lawn for healthier shrubs and plants throughout the growing season.
