Q&A
My shrubs in Newark are badly overgrown. Can you just trim them, or do they need to be replaced?
In most cases, overgrown shrubs in Newark can be saved with a professional rejuvenation pruning. Our team assesses the health of each plant and performs strategic trimming to promote new growth from the base, restoring their shape and vitality without the cost of replacement. For shrubs that are too woody or diseased, we can remove them and install new, healthier plants suited to our local climate.
What's the best way to fix bare patches in my Delaware lawn?
For bare patches in Newark, the solution depends on the cause and season. We typically recommend core aeration and overseeding with a hardy, Delaware-appropriate grass blend for thinning areas. For larger or severely damaged patches, sod installation provides an instant, lush green lawn. Our experts diagnose the underlying issue—be it soil compaction, poor drainage, or pest damage—to ensure the repair lasts.
Can you build a patio that will handle our Delaware freeze-thaw cycles?
Absolutely. We use proven hardscape techniques specifically for our climate. This includes a properly compacted gravel base for drainage, polymeric sand between pavers that resists washout, and selecting materials like concrete pavers or certain natural stones that withstand freeze-thaw cycles. This ensures your Newark patio remains stable and beautiful for years, avoiding heaving or settling.
