Yes, we provide comprehensive trimming and pruning services for hedges, bushes, and trees up to 15 feet tall. Hedge trimming is a separate service from standard lawn mowing and requires a custom assessment.

Here's how our hedge trimming service works:

• We send an estimator to evaluate your property and provide a detailed estimate
• Our hedge trimming service starts at around $399
• Hedge trimming is typically performed as part of a cleanup visit where we handle multiple tasks during the same appointment

Scheduling and Frequency: Hedge trimming is available on an as-needed, à la carte basis. You can request it whenever your hedges need attention. After we've completed initial services for you, we can offer consistent pricing based on our previous work, making it easy to budget for future trims.

If you'd like to refresh your hedges and landscaping, contact us to schedule your estimate and service.

A face cord of firewood delivered and stacked typically costs around $180, though pricing may vary. The price includes both delivery and stacking services, with stacking included at no extra charge when the location is within 100 feet of the truck. Tax is applied only to the wood itself, not to the delivery and stacking service.

Pricing Options:

• Delivered and stacked: around $180–$198
• Delivered without stacking (dumped in driveway): around $150–$165

The difference between stacked and unstacked delivery is typically around $30, with stacking adding value by placing the wood neatly rather than simply dumping it in your driveway.

Larger Orders:

• A full cord (equivalent to 3 face cords) delivered and stacked costs around $480–$535
• 2.5 face cords delivered and stacked costs around $360

Prices may increase after the 15th of the month, so it's worth confirming current rates before ordering.

Our comprehensive lawn care program consists of six annual applications, strategically scheduled approximately every 4-6 weeks throughout the year, beginning in early to mid-March based on local weather conditions.

What's Included in Each Treatment

• Granular Fertilizer: We apply a slow-release, mostly organic granular fertilizer that nourishes your lawn throughout the month. The granules remain on the lawn until activated by water or rain, which carries the nutrients to the root zone to enhance grass density and promote overall lawn health.
• Weed Control: We apply targeted liquid weed control treatments. Rather than blanket spraying, we selectively spray individual visible weeds, which is more effective at eliminating the entire root system and preventing regrowth. For yards with extensive weed coverage, we perform full-yard weed treatment as needed.
• Pre-Emergent Treatments: The first two applications include pre-emergent herbicide that creates a barrier to prevent annual weed seeds—particularly crabgrass—from germinating.
• Seasonal Adjustments: The third, fourth, and fifth applications focus on essential nutrients and soil conditioning. During hot summer months, we carefully manage nitrogen levels to help grass withstand heat stress.

Safety and Drying Time

After liquid weed treatment is applied, we recommend waiting 1-2 hours for the treatment to dry before allowing children or pets on the treated lawn. Once dry, the area is completely safe.

Pricing

Typically around $58 per application for the standard six-application program. Some customers opt for a minimum four-application package at around $50 per treatment depending on your service package.

Additional Features

• Advance Notification: You'll receive email and text message notification one day prior to each scheduled application.
• Complimentary Service Calls: If weeds persist after our treatments, we offer complimentary service calls to address the issue.
• Free Supplemental Spot Treatments: During high weed pressure periods, particularly in summer months, we provide free supplemental spot treatments.

If you'd like to learn more about how our lawn care program can transform your yard, feel free to reach out and we'll be happy to discuss your specific lawn needs.

We keep a credit or debit card on file and charge it automatically the day after each mowing service is completed. No upfront payment is required.

Billing Details:

• Weekly recurring charge of around $58 (standard weekly service)
• Payment is per service, not on a monthly basis
• Only one credit card can be kept on file at a time
• The first week may have a different charge if double mowing is required
• Weekly charge remains consistent once established

Service Schedule:

You'll be assigned a specific weekly service day, typically occurring on Saturdays or Mondays. We charge the card on file the day after your scheduled mowing is completed.

Documentation:

A paid invoice or receipt is emailed to you following each mowing service to confirm the transaction.

If you'd like to set up recurring mowing service, give us a call and we'll get you scheduled right away.

Yes, we provide both lawn aeration and overseeding services, typically performed together during the fall season (late August through October). These services are available as part of our lawn care program or as optional add-ons.

How Our Aeration Process Works

Our aeration involves using a machine to pull 2-3 inch soil plugs from your lawn. When combined with overseeding, we spread approximately two pounds of seed per thousand square feet. The seed falls directly into the aeration holes, which promotes easier germination and helps improve lawn density.

Why Aeration Matters

Aeration is beneficial for several reasons:

• Breaks up clay and compacted soil that can restrict root growth
• Allows grass roots to access nutrients, water, and air more effectively
• Creates channels for nitrogen, oxygen, and rainwater to penetrate the root zone
• Promotes stronger root development and lusher grass growth
• Naturally suppresses weed development
• Improves overall soil health and nutrient absorption

We recommend aerating your lawn at least once a year to maintain a healthy root zone. Full results from aeration and overseeding are typically visible in the following growing season.

Availability and Scheduling

We offer aeration during both spring and fall seasons. Fall aeration typically runs from late August through October, contingent on ground conditions and weather. Spring aeration slots tend to fill quickly, and we currently have limited availability during spring. Fall aeration books up on a first-come, first-served basis, so we recommend scheduling early in the season.

Service Cost

Our aeration service is priced at around $88.

Fall is the optimal time to overseed your lawn, ideally between late August and early November, with September being the most common timeframe. This timing is crucial because it aligns with ideal growing conditions and avoids conflicts with spring lawn care treatments.

Why Fall is Best

Fall overseeding works best because:

• Avoids pre-emergent herbicide conflicts: Spring fertilizer applications contain pre-emergent herbicides designed to prevent annual weed seeds (like crabgrass) from germinating. These same chemicals prevent grass seed from growing, making spring overseeding ineffective. Since pre-emergent herbicides remain active for approximately 90 days, fall is when these chemical barriers are no longer blocking seed germination.
• Ideal growing conditions: Fall provides consistent moisture, moderate temperatures, and natural rainfall that support seed establishment and germination.
• Combines with aeration: Fall is when aeration is typically performed. The aeration machine pulls up 2 to 3-inch soil cores, and seed can be spread directly into these holes, creating optimal seed-to-soil contact for better germination.
• Newer seed varieties: Modern grass seed varieties are more drought-tolerant and disease-resistant, enhancing overall lawn health and biodiversity.

The Overseeding Process

For best results, follow this approach in fall:

1. Control weeds and fertilize the lawn first
2. Perform aeration (typically in late August or early September)
3. Spread grass seed directly into aeration holes or onto roughened soil surfaces
4. Apply loose topsoil to bare spots if needed
5. Water thoroughly and maintain consistent moisture for approximately two weeks
6. Focus on morning watering to avoid nighttime conditions that can promote disease, algae, and mold

Timeline Considerations

Complete overseeding before early November to ensure sufficient time for seed germination and establishment before winter. Professional lawn care services typically begin fall overseeding and aeration in late August or early September to maximize the growing window.

If you're ready to fill in bare spots and strengthen your lawn, reach out to schedule your fall overseeding service.

Yes, we offer annual grub control treatment as part of our lawn care program. This is a preventative service that targets grub larvae before they can cause significant damage to your lawn.

Pricing: Our grub control treatment typically costs around $50 to $88 for a single annual application, with most customers paying in the $60 to $70 range.

Timing and Application: We apply grub control during our third round of fertilization, typically in June or early July. This timing is strategically important because it targets grub larvae during their active period before they mature and cause the most damage. The treatment penetrates the root zone to prevent grubs from feeding on grass roots during their most destructive phase, which typically peaks at the end of July.

Why Grub Control Matters: Grubs are beetle larvae that feed on grass roots and can cause substantial lawn damage, including:

• Dead patches and yellowing areas in your lawn
• Weakened root systems that make grass vulnerable
• Secondary damage from animals (skunks, raccoons, moles) that dig up your lawn to feed on the grubs
• Transformation into Japanese beetles that cause additional plant damage

We recommend this treatment for all our clients, especially after drought conditions when grub populations tend to be more problematic. A single preventative application during the optimal window is far more effective and cost-efficient than dealing with extensive lawn damage later in the season.

If you're concerned about grubs damaging your lawn, contact us to add this protective treatment to your lawn care plan.
