Aeration
The time and method to prune depend on the plant. While some plants look best
when sheared, others require more selective pruning. The practice of pruning
can occur at different times of the year. Typically, our pruning for trees
occurs in the late winter. Deciduous shrubs are pruned in the spring or summer.
Evergreen shrubs are pruned after the new growth has emerged. After the plants
are pruned we clean all fallen debris. Most often, clippings are raked into
piles and then collected. To finish off, we use our blowers to lightly disperse
any remaining clippings from your landscape beds.
Pruning
To receive the most benefit from this service, we recommend it be done in the
spring or fall. Aeration is the process of removing tiny cores of soil. This
allows water, moisture and nutrients to enter the soil easier. It also benefits
heavily compacted soil. Lawns actively grow in the cooler seasons. By aerating
in the spring or fall, the lawn is more apt to grow and recover.
Landscape Clean Up
In the beginning of spring, we offer a spring clean up. This includes removing
fallen branches, raking sticks and collecting left over leaves. The landscape
beds get a thorough cleaning. Decks, walkways and patios get blown or swept.
The debris we gather can be left at curbside or can be hauled to an appropriate
dumpsite. In the fall, we offer a leaf clean up service. Depending on your
schedule, we make regular visits to gather leaves. Leaves can be hauled to the
curb, relocated to an appropriate site on your property or hauled away.
