Spring is in the air and now is a super time to invest just a few moments for planning a landscape improvement project. The first step to success is gathering proper information from experts that will pay dividends later in the season. Some companies, like ours, will provide complimentary site evaluations for your trees, shrubs and turf. The question then becomes: where to begin? Start with a priority- what is important to you? What would you like to see look healthier, greener perhaps, or is there a hazardous tree leaning in the wrong direction? An expert will see things you simply cannot and save you lots of time and effort working on dead-end projects or applying products that will not work.
As a rule, many trees can be pruned to remove hazards, reduce disease, and provide both structural and aesthetic value. A landscape can be improved “as is” with proper fertilization and/or treatments to reduce insect and disease issues. If your current landscape is dying, dead, or unhealthy, get input on why things went south or better yet, what shrubs would be better replacementS for the site?

Improving your yard not only provides visual enjoyment to you, the homeowner, but it raises the value of your property and can promote native birds and other desirable wildlife. And, it just plain feels good!
The lawn is often the most affordable improvement in terms of quick visual impact. Most turf areas can be improved “as is” and do not require costly major renovations. Often a basic plan of natural fertilizer, calcium lime, kelp, and aeration with overseeding can really provide a dramatic impact within months if not weeks versus years for trees. Lucky for you, we provide free estimates in all of these areas. So pickup that phone or click on your e-mail account and make the first step: ask for help! You won’t regret the time spent and even if you decide not to do a single thing this year, you will have a written plan on how to improve your own little paradise!
