Landscapers Bemidji MN | Call Xtreme Yards

Yes, absolutely. A shifting rock garden is often caused by improper base preparation or erosion. We permanently fix this by first assessing the drainage and soil, then removing the rocks to install a proper gravel base and landscape fabric. We strategically reset the rocks using local materials and techniques to lock them in place, preventing future shifting and keeping your rock garden looking great through our freeze-thaw cycles.

We handle overgrown shrubs with a careful, multi-step approach. First, we perform a health assessment and a major rejuvenation cut if needed, following best practices to avoid harming the plant. For shrubs causing damage, we prune them back safely from structures and clear walkways. We can also recommend strategic replacement with slower-growing, hardy varieties suited for Bemidji to provide a long-term, low-maintenance solution.

For major cleanup and rejuvenation pruning, late winter to early spring (March-April) is ideal, while plants are still dormant. This minimizes stress and allows for vigorous new growth in spring. For general maintenance trimming and rock garden work, late spring through early fall is perfect. We schedule projects around Bemidji's growing season and weather to ensure the best results for your yard's health and appearance.
