Pruning
Pruning may sound simple, however there are significant differences when pruning different plants, such as rose bushes, shrubs, hedges, fruit or ornamental trees.

Pruning helps your trees, shrubs and other plant life thrive by removing diseased, non-productive, or otherwise unwanted portions of a plant. Although forest trees grow quite well with only nature's pruning, landscape trees require a higher level of care to maintain their safety and aesthetics.

Pruning should be done with an understanding of how the tree or shrub responds to each cut. Improper pruning can cause damage that will last for the life of the plant, or worse, shorten the plant's life.

Lawn Restoration (Top Dressing, Aerating, Overseeding, Sodding)
Top dressing is a prerequisite for a high lawn quality. Top dressing adds needed nutrients and fiber to keep lawns lush, by ensuring a better germination rate on re-seeding and stimulating the growth and vitality of existing grass.

Not only do you need to make sure your lawn is mowed, weeded, fertilized and irrigated, you also need to aerate. As sod ages, the soil underneath can become so compacted, there is little or no pore space (small pockets of air held in the soil), making it difficult for grass roots to absorb water and nutrients. Before long,
the lawn will deteriorate, becoming more susceptible to weeds and attack by insects and diseases.

Aeration involves the removal of small cores-or plugs of soil-which are then deposited on the surface (they'll work their way into the grass within a month). The small holes that remain help to break up compacted areas and allow water and air to penetrate to the root zone.

Garden Upgrades and Mulching
Adding new soil or compost to your garden every few years will help with the vitality of your existing plants. New soil will increase the nutrient fiber level (loam) in your garden.

Mulching the bare soil in your gardens deters weed growth and moderates the soil temperature, reducing your watering requirements.
