General Yard Clean-ups

 

Every  yard is different. We take the time to listen to you and discuss what you would like to have happen in your yard offering advice when needed or asked for. We are flexible and can cater any job to your desires

 

When mulching beds we take the time to pull the weeds, clean out the leaves and cut nice edges before we start to lay the mulch. It takes more time and costs a bit more but it is well worth it in the long run.

 

 

 

 

Trimming  bushes

 

I see trimming bushes as an art form and after 14 years in this business you learn a thing or two about trimming. A bad hair cut for your bushes could be a death sentence.

Tips

 

- Flowering bushes should be trimmed after they bloom. Any other time of the year means you are cutting off blooms for the next blooming season

 

- Azaleas should generally be trimmed before July 4th in this area.

 

- Other non flowering shrubs can generally be done any time. I generally recommend late June and later as this is when the peak growing season is past.

 

-If you want to trim a bush back hard do it between mid September and early May. You want to avoid burning up a bush in the hottest part of the year.

 

- Never trim into the hollow center of an evergreen or holly as it may not fill in and you may end up removing the bush at a later point in time.

Removing Bushes

 

We have a chipper and stump grinders to make this work simple. If you have a number of large shrubs over whelming your house or just a couple small shrubs that have seen better days. We can make the job easy.

Fall Leaf Clean-Up

 

Generally we come twice to correspond to the county’s leaf collection and pile the leaves up on the street. We have excellent blowers so we can get into bushes and places a rake could never reach. Yes, we blow the leaves out of the bushes. Our goal is to remove as many of the leaves from your lawn as possible.

 

This service is generally restricted to customers for whom we are cutting grass. I do make some exception so it may be worth asking.

Hauling Junk to the Dump

 

It could be a couple of items, cleaning out the garage or even clearing an entire house. No job is too large or small. OK I could be wrong, we do not haul elephants, tanks or other extremely large items that you most likely do not have.

 

We have large trailers and can move a good deal of junk at one time.

 

Be aware that we do not haul hazardous items:

 

- Gas and oil, pesticides, oil based paints, most chemicals, old fertilizers, propane tanks, plus other items the dump will not take. The county does have special times and locations to drop off these items.

Other Odd Jobs

 

During my years in this business I have done so many different things to provide service to my customers. From removing antennas,  moving an office out of DC, changing light bulbs, and many things I won’t mention as I do not plan to do them again.

 

If you have a special need or desire that I might be able to fulfill just ask. If I can I will. If I cannot I might be able to refer you to some one who can. It never hurts to ask

 

The Over Grown Yard

Don’t be ashamed just contact us. We can do wonders. Cutting back, pulling out, trimming up, it doesn’t matter. We work miracles.

 

We just don’t do the design or planting. We know what we do best but we will refer you to a great horticulturist.
