Clean-ups

After the last spring blizzard and once the snow finally melts, it’s time to clean up. No matter how clean a yard looks in the fall, there’s always a mess in the spring. Squirrels have buried nuts and other food during the winter. Small branches and twigs have fallen from trees and plantings. Pets leave their debris on our lawns, too. Let our company take care of all that mess at an affordable rate and efficiently with:

Power Raking and Tine Raking are forms of dethatching.  Dethatching is the removal of a thick layer of thatch.  Thatch is a mat-like layer of organic materials, such as dead grass, rhizomes, mulched leaves, and other debris that has not yet decomposed.

Dethatching is important to help your lawn stay healthy and thrive. An overabundance of thatch blocks water and fertilizer from reaching your lawn’s roots. The layer of thatch can strangle and trap grass roots, resulting in poor growth from stress, disease, excess heat, and a lack of water, air, and nutrients.  Power Raking is a more thorough method of dethatching and is best when lawns are thick and lush.  Tine Raking is a less invasive dethatching method and is best for thinner lawns.  We can help decide if your lawn needs to be dethatched and which method should be used.

One of the worst problems every Minnesota homeowner faces in the fall is the seasonal shedding of leaves by trees, shrubs, and other plantings. Raking leaves and disposing of them can be a backbreaking, time-consuming chore, but it’s an important one for the health of your lawn and the beauty of your home. Let us handle:

Shrubs and perennials can be a beautiful addition to your gardens and landscaped areas.  Trimming and/or pruning shrubs and perennials is an important step to ensure they remain healthy and vibrant.

Trimming shrubs can help them to grow better in areas where they aren’t as full, aids in better flower and fruit production, decreases some disease issues, and can remove old growth that may become problematic. Shrub trimming is cutting off the tips of branches to clean up the overall appearance of a plant. This service involves using power hedge trimmers to skim the tops and sides of shrubs so they look neat and manicured.

Pruning perennial plants can stimulate growth, maintain a proper plant size, and also prevent or limit disease.  The type of perennial determines they bests time of year to cut them back.  Perennials like hostas, peonies, and daylilies need to be pruned in the fall to avoid winter damage.  Other perennials like mums and coneflowers are better off being pruned in the spring just before new growth comes.

Let us take care of all of your shrub trimming and perennial pruning tasks.  Our knowledgeable experts will properly trim or prune your plants during the correct time of year to ensure they continue to be a beautiful addition to your yard.
