Your yard, handled all year.

Services

March – May

Spring

Beds and lawns come back. We plant and move shrubs while the soil is cool, start lawn care, and watch for insects and disease before the heat.

• Gardening

  Winter debris out of the beds, dead growth cut back, and the yard set up so new plantings have room.

• Shrub planting

  New shrubs in while the ground is still cool and damp. Placed, watered in, and mulched so they take.

• Lawn care

  First cuts of the year once the rains ease. Height kept up so the lawn fills in instead of stressing out.

• Shrub transplanting

  Move shrubs that outgrew the spot or sit in the wrong light. Spring is the window before they push hard.

• Insect management - shrubs

  Look shrubs over as they leaf out. Catch scale, aphids, and chew-damage early.

• Disease management - shrubs

  Fungus and dieback show first in spring. Cut out the bad wood so it doesn’t spread.

• Lawn care

  Regular cuts through the valley heat. Height stays up so the turf holds moisture instead of burning out.

• Gardening

  Beds kept clean and plantings looked after so the yard doesn’t slide in July and August.

• Shrub pruning or trimming

  Shape after the spring flush. Off the house, off the walks, clippings taken with us.

• Insect management - shrubs

  Hot months are when mites and borers show. Treat the shrubs that need it.

• Disease management - shrubs

  Heat plus water is when leaf spot and mildew run. Keep air through the plant.

• Shrub planting

  Fill gaps that opened in the heat. Summer planting is for the right shrubs, not a full bed redo.

June – August

Summer

Heat is the test. Lawn care keeps going, shrubs get a trim after the flush, and we stay on insects before they take a hedge down.

September – November

Fall

Best window to plant and move shrubs before the rains, trim what’s overgrown, and get the lawn through the last growth of the year.

• Shrub planting

  Fall is the strongest planting window in Fairfield. Roots settle over winter and push in spring.

• Shrub transplanting

  Move shrubs that never liked the spot. Cooler air, warm soil — they take with less shock than in July.

• Shrub pruning or trimming

  Cut back what got away over summer. Structure now, so the plant isn’t a mess in March.

• Lawn care

  Last real growth of the year. Keep it neat going into the rains without scalping it.

• Gardening

  Beds cut back, spent growth out, and the yard put to bed so it doesn’t mat over winter.

• Disease management - shrubs

  Cut out diseased wood before the rains lock the problem in.

• Shrub pruning or trimming

  Dormant prune while the structure shows. Hardwoods and ornamentals, not a summer haircut.

• Shrub removal

  Take out shrubs that are dead, crowding the house, or past saving. Cleaner on wet ground.

• Shrub transplanting

  Move what you want to keep. Dormant plants handle a relocation better than in leaf.

• Gardening

  Storm-downed branches out of the beds, and a clean yard until things leaf again.

• Disease management - shrubs

  Walk the shrubs between storms. Dieback is easier to see without leaves in the way.

• Lawn care

  Off-season cuts as needed, and the lawn watched so it doesn’t mat under standing water.

December – February

Winter

Rainy stretch, and the window for dormant work. Shrubs get pruned and moved while they’re asleep. Removals are cleaner on wet ground.
