Yard solutions Landscaping & Tree care: Reliable Landscapers Serving Kettering, OH 45409

Standing water and lawn fungus are common issues in our area due to soil composition and seasonal weather. For standing water, we assess your yard's grading and drainage, often recommending solutions like strategic regrading, French drains, or dry creek beds to redirect moisture. To combat lawn fungus, we provide targeted treatments and can adjust your mowing and watering schedule. Often, improving overall lawn health through proper aeration and soil amendments helps prevent future outbreaks. We create a customized plan to address both the symptom and the root cause for a healthier landscape.

Timing is crucial for the health of your plants. For most trees, the ideal pruning window is during the dormant season, typically late fall through winter, as it reduces stress and the risk of disease. However, dead or hazardous branches should be removed anytime. For flowering shrubs, we time trimming based on their bloom cycle—pruning spring bloomers right after they flower and summer bloomers in late winter or early spring. Our arborists can evaluate your specific trees and shrubs to schedule care that promotes vigorous growth and beautiful form.

Transplanting requires careful planning to minimize shock. We begin by assessing the plant's health and the suitability of both the current and new locations for sun, soil, and space. The process involves precise root ball excavation, careful handling to protect the root system, and proper preparation of the new planting hole with appropriate amendments. Post-transplant, we provide detailed aftercare instructions, including watering schedules and monitoring, to ensure successful establishment. This service is ideal for relocating plants that have outgrown their space or to improve your landscape's overall design.
