Landscape Maintenance
Essential Landscape Maintenance Tips
The first thing you see when you arrive home after a long day is your landscape. When you pull into the driveway, you want to feel proud—you’re ready to enjoy your outdoor space, and the last thing you want is to be tied down to a list of landscaping chores that will consume your free time. Even if you enjoy tinkering with a few minor tasks, there’s a lot more “dirty work” that goes into keeping a landscape healthy and attractive.
Maybe your landscape is fine now, but you know it could use improvements. You might have a landscape maintenance company that’s helping out with some tasks. Or, perhaps you’ve been taking care of the landscaping yourself and keeping up with everything feels impossible. (There is always something else to do: edging, clean-ups, trimming shrubs, mulching, you name it.) A full-service landscape maintenance solution—a pro who can handle all the things—would make your life so much easier.
Seasonal Clean-Ups
In spring and fall your landscapes need more attention.
In Spring, cleanups include removing leaves and debris from landscaping beds, and pruning and trimming shrubs and trees.
In Fall, cleanups also involve removing leaves and debris from landscaping beds. Grasses and perennials should be cut back before winter.
Edging & Mulching
Mulch creates a rich backdrop for plantings and makes colorful plants/flowers pop. It’s an essential part of landscape maintenance as the mulch stabilizes soil temperature and protects plant roots. Mulch should be applied after spring clean-up.
Maintaining Trees & Shrubs
Trimming shrubs and trees in the landscape involves clipping off an inch or two of unruly growth, or aggressively trimming down plants. Trimming depends on the plant type, and a knowledgeable landscaping expert to determine how to properly maintain them.
