Westside Outdoor Maintenance - Minnetonka's Professional Landscaping

The best approach is a combination of core aeration to relieve soil compaction, followed by overseeding with cold-tolerant grass blends suited for our area. We then apply a targeted fertilizer to promote root recovery. This process, best done in early fall or spring, addresses the specific stress Minnesota winters place on turf.

For most common shrubs in our region, a seasonal trim is ideal—typically in late spring after new growth and again in mid-summer to maintain shape. For overgrown specimens, we recommend a more gradual rejuvenation pruning over 2-3 seasons to avoid shock and ensure healthy, controlled regrowth that can harm the plant's health and shape.

Yes, we offer tailored seasonal maintenance programs. These include fall clean-up to protect lawns before winter, spring aeration and feeding to combat frost damage, and scheduled shrub trimming throughout the growing season. A consistent plan is the most effective way to prevent problems and maintain a healthy, beautiful landscape in Minnetonka.
