THATCHING

Thatching is the process of removing dead buildup such as leaves or grass clippings that have not or are slow to decompose. This layer of material usually exists between the grass root system and the top layer of your lawn. If excessive thatch is not removed from the lawn it can prevent the proper amount of oxygen and nutrients from getting to the root system, killing the lawn.

AERATION

Aeration is the process in which small cores are removed from the turf to provide air to the root system. Aeration can also help to reduce soil compaction and help water and fertilizers to work their way into the roots of your lawn. Aerating is also sometimes referred to as core cultivation.

FERTILIZING

Fertilizing is a key element to a healthy and thriving landscape environment for both grass and other plant life.

As part of our standard one year maintenance agreement, Paradise Restored Landscaping will fertilize the grass yards on your property up to four(4) times per year using time released balanced fertilizer in the spring through fall and a special quick release nitrogen fertilizer for the winter season to ensure early spring green up!

We promise only to use the highest quality products, specialized for your lawn and its needs for every season.

MOSS CONTROL

Moss is very similar to many common weeds in the sense that it takes advantage of bare area's of your lawn, not necessarily killing off the plants or grass around it. Moss control can be done effectively by applying a various array of natural products to the lawn such as Ferrous Sulfate.

Moss buildup can be caused by many things such as poor drainage, diseased area's of the lawn or an improper variety of grass for your soil. It is recommended that moss control be applied at least annually.

As part of our one year standard maintenance agreement, Paradise Restored Landscaping will apply Moss Control to your property in the early/mid spring season.

PRUNING

Pruning is the process in which dead or unwanted limbs are removed from a plant. Pruning can also be done for ornamental reasons to achieve a desired look for your property or garden. When applied, proper pruning techniques can promote healthy plant life and growth.

Annual or bi-annual pruning of your trees and shrubs is extremely important to the health of your plants. If you wait to long to prune, your plants can grow out of control and become bushy and unattractive. In many cases it is difficult or impossible to salvage the shape of the plant if it is left un-pruned for an extended period of time. With correct pruning each year your shrubs and trees will be beautiful for decades to come.

As part of our full one year maintenance agreement, Paradise Restored Landscaping will prune or shear* your trees and shrubs up to two(2) times during the contract period and for smaller ornamental shrubs as neeed throughout the season to maintain a clean and professionally cut appearance.
