Landscape Maintenance

Keeping Landscapes Beautiful

Complete Lawn Care Inc also offers landscaping maintenance, which is just as important to the curb appeal of your property as your mowing. The two go hand in hand, since what good is a beautiful lawn if the landscaping is not up to par? Give us a call or contact us today to get started!

Hedge Trimming

We recommend pruning of shrubs a minimum of twice per year. Perennial care consists of trimming perennials such as ornamental grasses and hostas back either in the winter or early spring prior to mulch installation.

Weed Control

Service consists of pre-emergent applications to the landscape areas twice per year. These act to prevent weeds from growing. Any weeds that do grow would be either hand pulled or sprayed.

Mulch Cultivation

A new service that we offer is mulch cultivation which helps to rejuvenate the mulch beds. Over time mulch can become compacted, preventing air and water from reaching the root zone of the plants. This process will break up any clumps and allow the air and water to pass through to the root zone of the plants. It also rejuvenates the color of the mulch.

Edging

Edging of the mulch beds help define the landscape area from the turf area. This also helps to contain the mulch in the bed, whether it be adjacent to the turf area or a sidewalk. This is accomplished by gradually sloping the mulch bed to be below the level of the grass or sidewalk.

Seasonal Color – Spring and Summer

Bring your landscapes to life with a splash of color. For early spring – bulbs such as tulips. For the summer – annuals such as begonias, petunias, and impatiens.

Seasonal Color – Fall

Bring your landscape to life in the fall with perennials such as mums and/or pansies.

Mulch Installation

Various Groundcover Options

Groundcover is imperative in a landscape bed, as it provides a barrier to the soil underneath helping to protect the bed from weeds, extreme temperatures, and erosion, while helping retain moisture and nutrients for your plants to feed on. Mulch is the most common groundcover as it is easy to deliver and install, easily decomposes into the soil over time, and is lower cost than other types of groundcover. We recommend installing mulch twice a year, once in the spring, and once in the fall for the best results. Bed edging is an additional service we offer to help keep grass from spreading into the bed, as well as keep mulch inside the bed where it should be. We offer 2 types of mulch: Oak Brown and Black Forest Mulch.

Rock Installation

Durable and Long-Lasting

Rock is different than mulch in a couple of different ways. Rock beds generally last several years before needing to add new rock, as unlike mulch, they don’t decompose. Rock doesn’t make as good of a barrier as mulch, leading to the requirement of putting down landscape fabric to ensure weeds don’t grow. If you are looking for a low maintenance, long lasting groundcover, and aren’t deterred by a higher upfront cost, this may be the solution for you!

Landscape Weed Control

Keep Your Landscape Free From Weeds

At Complete Lawn Care, we offer both pre and post-emergent weed control for the landscape beds. Our pre-emergent is a granular product that helps keep your landscape beds free from weeds, and we recommend 2 applications a year: one in the spring, and one in the fall.

Our liquid weed killer kills existing weeds, and as a courtesy we will also spray the weeds growing out of your driveway cracks and crevices. We recommend 1 application per month during the growing season, meaning 7 applications per year for best results.
