Landscaping Services Deerfield MA | Call True Valley Landscaping

The best approach is a careful, multi-stage trim rather than a single drastic cut, which can shock the plant. For common Deerfield shrubs like lilacs or rhododendrons, we recommend trimming immediately after flowering and then doing a light shaping in late summer. This maintains the plant's health, encourages fuller growth, and safely clears your sightlines. We can assess your specific shrubs and create a seasonal trimming plan.

Bare patches here are often caused by compacted soil, pet traffic, or disease. Our fix starts with diagnosing the root cause. We then loosen the soil, apply a high-quality grass seed blend suited for our local climate, and use a starter fertilizer to encourage strong root development. Proper watering guidance is key, and we'll advise you on the best schedule to ensure your new grass fills in thick and green.

Absolutely. Prevention is a core part of our service. We recommend a scheduled maintenance plan that includes seasonal shrub trimming to manage growth before it becomes a problem, along with annual core aeration and overseeding for your lawn. This proactive approach builds lawn density to resist bare spots and keeps your shrubs looking neat and healthy year-round, saving you time and hassle.
