Focus on Services: Shrub Trimming and Sod Installation

2016-06-30

Trimming your shrubs and hedges is essential if you want them to remain healthy and look their best. This process involves removing dead and decaying leaves and branches so they don't affect the growth of other limbs. We recommend trimming the shrubs when they start to look overgrown. They may appear too tall, too wide, or both. Your shrubs also need trimming when they are blocking sunlight from reaching other plants, the center of the bush is starting to lose leaves, or it has a general sickly appearance.

How to Prune Your Shrubs
To start the pruning process, trim branches that have overgrown on the outside. It’s best to start at the top of the shrub and cut it to the desired height. Remove dead branches and yellowed leaves as well as anything that appears to have fungus on it. Be sure to make clean cuts towards the center of the shrub to prevent any infections from spreading. Raking up everything you cut from the bush will prevent infection from spreading as well.

At The Lawnsmith, we use hedge trimmers, loppers, and shears to give your shrubs a clean, professional look. You can save time and have the best looking shrubs on the block when you schedule shrub and hedge trimming with us.

Repair Problem Areas on Your Lawn with New Sod Installation
Bald spots, brown spots, fungus, and other common problems can leave your lawn looking less than desirable. The answer to this dilemma is to replace the problem areas with new turf grass. This is an involved process that many homeowners don't have the time or the skill to do on their own.

At The Lawnsmith, we take care of everything for you. From the initial measuring of the area receiving sod to ordering the materials to laying it down, you can depend on our experienced crew to make your lawn come back to life. We also offer guidance on how to care for the new sod so it remains healthy and attractive. When you're ready to
install new sod, just call us to schedule service.

The Lawnsmith wishes you and your family a healthy and happy summer of 2016.
