Enhance the beauty and health of your landscape with our expert trimming and shaping services. We specialize in trimming and shaping ornamental trees, shrubs, and bushes to create a well-groomed and aesthetically pleasing appearance. We ensure that each shrub, bush and ornamental tree is carefully pruned to promote healthy growth to maintain its ideal shape.

In addition to our shaping services, we also address low-hanging and dead branches on large trees. Removing these branches not only improves the overall look of your trees but also reduces the risk of potential hazards and encourages better airflow and light penetration, which supports robust tree health.

Whether you’re looking to refine the elegance of your ornamental plants and trees or maintain their vitality, our professional trimming and shaping service will help you achieve a beautifully manicured landscape.

We specialize in core aeration, a vital service designed to promote the health and vitality of your lawn. Whether your grass is struggling or you simply want to enhance its growth, our professional core aeration service is the perfect solution.

Core aeration is a process that involves using specialized machines to remove small plugs, or "cores," of soil from your lawn. This creates holes that allow air, water, and nutrients to penetrate deeper into the root zone, which is crucial for a healthy lawn.

We utilize state-of-the-art core aeration machines that efficiently extract soil cores without damaging your grass. Our professional equipment ensures optimal results, making the aeration process quick and effective.

The benefits of core aeration are numerous, especially for lawns in Michigan where clay soils are prevalent:

• Improved Soil Structure: Aeration alleviates soil compaction, making it easier for roots to grow and access essential nutrients.
• Enhanced Nutrient Absorption: With improved airflow and water penetration, your lawn can better absorb fertilizers and moisture.
• Healthier Roots: Aeration encourages deeper root growth, leading to a more resilient lawn that can withstand drought and disease.

The best times to perform core aeration in Michigan are in early spring and early fall. During these seasons, the cooler temperatures and increased moisture levels allow your lawn to recover quickly, promoting robust growth.

We recommend  scheduling a post-aeration cut 3-7 days after aeration. This helps break up the cores and redistribute vital nutrients back into the soil, enhancing the overall effectiveness of the aeration process. This isn't a "normal lawn cut"- we use specialized blades and adjust them perfectly to break the cores up and redistribute properly. 

For maximum benefit, consider pairing our core aeration service with lawn dethatching for even better airflow and nutrient absorption. Together, these services create the ideal environment for a thriving lawn, especially in our local area where clay soil can pose challenges. 

We understand that a lush, healthy lawn is the pride of any homeowner. Our professional lawn dethatching service is designed to rejuvenate your turf, promoting robust growth and vibrant color.

Our process begins with a thorough evaluation of your lawn. We assess the thatch layer—an accumulation of dead grass, roots, and organic matter that can hinder your lawn's health. By measuring the depth of the thatch, we determine how much dethatching is necessary to restore your lawn’s vitality.

We utilize advanced power dethatching machines, designed to effectively remove excess thatch with the dethatch depth adjusted  to dethatch your lawn properly.  Our equipment ensures precision and efficiency.

Dethatching offers numerous benefits, including:

• Improved Airflow: Reducing thatch allows for better air circulation, which is essential for healthy grass.
• Enhanced Nutrient Absorption: With the thatch layer minimized, your lawn can absorb water, nutrients, and sunlight more effectively.
• Promotes Stronger Roots: Dethatching encourages deeper root growth, making your lawn more resilient against drought and disease.

In Michigan, the best times to dethatch your lawn are in the spring and fall months. During these periods, the cooler temperatures and ample moisture promote recovery and growth, allowing your grass to bounce back quickly.

We pride ourselves on our attention to detail. After dethatching, we meticulously clean up all the dead grass and debris, leaving your lawn tidy and ready for its next steps.

For maximum benefits, consider combining our dethatching service with core aeration. Together, these services promote a healthier, more resilient lawn, ensuring your outdoor space thrives.

Spring cleanups usually take place at the end of March or early April. We clear away leaves, sticks, and other winter debris from your lawn and landscape beds, then mow to give your yard a fresh, clean look.

Fall cleanups are done from October to November. We remove leaves from your yard and landscape beds and trim the grass to keep your landscape looking neat during the winter.

Ensure your home stays in top shape with our professional gutter cleaning service. Properly maintained gutters are crucial for preventing water damage, protecting your foundation, and avoiding costly repairs. Pair this essential service with our fall cleanup to keep your property pristine and prepared for the season ahead. Let us handle the hard work so you can enjoy worry-free seasons and a beautifully maintained home.
