What a typical project looks like
An example of the kind of situation we often run into, to give you an idea of how things unfold.
A client contacts us in the spring about a hedge that hasn't been trimmed. We come by to assess the situation and talk it through before starting anything. In a single visit, the hedge gets its clean, even shape back, and the debris is cleared away before we leave — the client can enjoy their yard as soon as the following weekend.
Did you know?
A few notions that guide how we take care of your property.
Cedar hedges are best trimmed before midsummer, to avoid stressing the plant just before winter.
A lawn mowed too short dries out faster and becomes more vulnerable to weeds — cutting a little higher encourages stronger roots.
A well-laid interlocking paver surface sits on a compacted gravel base — it's this invisible base that keeps it from shifting with the freeze-thaw cycle.
Blocked gutters can cause water to overflow near your foundation — one of the most common causes of basement water infiltration.
Salt used for snow removal can damage flower beds near driveways — there are gentler options available to protect your landscaping.
