Lawn Maintenance Programs

Ou can spend most of your time relaxing outdoors in the spring, but taking care of the seasoning is a year-round chore. There are no shortcuts when it comes to seasoning. It takes discipline – fertilization cannot happen whenever convenient and weed control needs to be timed. Putting a plan in place can help you stay on top of what needs to be done at different times of the year. But if a seasonal laundry list seems daunting, you might consider hiring a professional lawn care company. Alves Landscape offers school programs that can handle all the tasks you need, from fertilization to aeration, soil improvers and larvae control.

Flower bed maintenance

One of the best ways to give your property a professional touch is with Alves Landscape services. During the spring and summer, healthy, fragrant blooms will make your property all the more enjoyable and alluring. Maybe you already have great flowers, but sometimes garden maintenance is easier said than done.

Leaf & shrub removal

There are two types of residential landscape removal: one-time overhauls and consistent cleanups. One-time overhauls are usually the results of landscape renovations, putting up retaining walls, setting up a swimming pool feature, or sod installation. You might remove dead shrubs, plenty of weeds, and nuisance rocks in this haul. A typical garden with trees, shrubs, and assorted plants also tends to accumulate quite a bit of trash as the seasons change. Staying on top of the dried leaves, branches, and twigs is vital to maintaining your property’s great looks. Consistent cleanup is a key element. The experts at Alves Lawnscape recognize the importance of doing a thorough cleanup and landscape removal as needed.

Pruning

All of our garden managers and landscape management staff at Alves share a commitment to our signature methods of holistic landscape care and to honoring the landscape design. They understand that they are responsible for fulfilling the landscape vision. There are many facets to landscape management that require horticultural knowledge and a specialized skill set from the crews who perform day to day garden care. Pruning at the right time and in the right way is essential to the art of holistic landscape management and garden care.

Fertilizing

Trees and shrubs are living investments that grow in value with each passing year. When properly selected and planted, trees and shrubs can be expected to thrive with the right care, which may include watering, fertilizing and pruning. Just as certain established drought-tolerant plants may not require water during dry spells, mature trees and shrubs growing in favorable soil conditions may require little or no fertilizer. Fertilizer is often misunderstood and misused. Fertilizer is not “food.” Plants produce their own food in the form of sugars through photosynthesis. The minerals or nutrients supplied by fertilizer provide the ingredients needed for photosynthesis and growth. When minerals are lacking or absent in the soil, fertilizer can be added to maintain an adequate supply.

Mulching

Mulch comes in a range of sizes, colors, shapes and costs. Most nurseries carry varieties that are well-suited to the surrounding area. But do your own research and ask questions to ensure you get a mulch that fits your budget as well as the shades and textures of your yard.
