To prepare your yard for landscaping services, remove any personal belongings, decorations, and movable objects from the areas where work will be performed. This not only protects your items but also provides our team with unobstructed access to work efficiently. Additionally, please ensure pets are safely indoors or in a secured area to avoid any distractions or hazards during the work.

Your lawn may need aeration if it feels spongy, looks thin or patchy, or has a buildup of thatch more than half an inch thick. These signs indicate compaction and poor nutrient absorption. Before scheduling aeration, water your lawn to soften the soil, ensuring better penetration by the aeration equipment. Also, mark any sprinkler heads or underground utilities to prevent damage.

Key signs that your irrigation system may need repairs include unexplained soggy patches in your lawn, sprinkler heads that drip or don’t activate, and areas of your lawn that remain dry after watering. If you notice any of these issues, inform us so we can conduct a thorough inspection and make the necessary adjustments or repairs to ensure efficient watering.

To ensure your pets are safe during pest control treatments, keep them indoors or in a protected area away from the treatment zones until the products have dried or as instructed by our technicians. Remove any pet food, water dishes, and toys from the area being treated. We use pet-friendly products, but taking these steps adds an extra layer of safety.

For tree services, please provide clear access to the tree area by moving vehicles, portable garden structures, and outdoor furniture. Ensure all gates are unlocked and inform us of any specific entry instructions. Clearing these pathways allows us to safely move equipment and debris, ensuring an efficient and safe operation.

To maintain your hardscapes and ensure their longevity, perform regular sweeping to remove dirt and debris that can cause staining. We recommend sealing pavers, stone, or concrete periodically to protect against moisture and wear. Additionally, during winter, avoid using harsh chemical deicers that can damage the surface of hardscapes.

After fertilization, water your lawn within 24 hours if there is no rain forecasted; this helps activate the fertilizer. Avoid mowing the lawn for at least 24-48 hours to allow the nutrients to penetrate the soil effectively. Regular watering and following the specific care instructions provided will help maintain the lawn’s health and maximize the benefits of fertilization.

Immediate improvements are often visible in the structure and organization of your newly landscaped area. Depending on the types of plants installed, seasonal growth patterns may vary. Typically, you can expect to see plants start to establish and flourish within a few weeks, reaching fuller maturity over the following months. Proper care and maintenance will support healthy growth and development of your landscaping investment.
