  • How can I make sure my plants are doing well?

    Unless you're enrolled in our maintenance program, homeowners are responsible for the care of their grass, shrubs, and flowers. This includes consistent watering and fertilizing—services that our professional landscaping team typically handles when part of our maintenance program.

  • Why is mulch important?

    Our landscaping professionals recommend mulch as an essential element for promoting tree and shrub health. It effectively suppresses weeds, helps retain soil moisture, and prevents soil compaction while protecting roots from lawn mower damage. According to This Old House, applying a 2 to 3-inch layer of mulch around plants is ideal, but it's important to keep mulch away from tree trunks and stems to prevent rot and allow proper air circulation.

  • How often should I mow my lawn?

    We advise weekly mowing to maintain a perfectly manicured appearance and ensure your lawn stands out as the most attractive one in the neighborhood. For any additional lawn care questions, please contact our landscaping professionals today.

  • How long does it take to install a new landscaping project?

    Installation timeframes vary depending on both the project scope and property size. We encourage you to contact our landscaping team for a personalized discussion about your specific project requirements and timeline expectations.

  • What plants and flowers do best year-round?

    Our experienced landscaping professionals typically recommend perennial plants for their long-lasting beauty, minimal maintenance requirements, and reliable growth patterns year after year.

  • How do I prevent crabgrass on my lawn?

    We offer specialized weed control solutions specifically designed to prevent crabgrass. If crabgrass does appear despite preventative measures, our landscaping team will return to provide additional treatment services for your lawn.

  • What's the difference between installing sod and seeding my lawn to grow my grass?

    Based on our experience, seeding typically requires several weeks to establish and often results in higher overall costs. Our landscaping professionals generally recommend sod installation for its immediate results and instant enhancement of your property's curb appeal.
