Aeration
• Aeration is essential in keeping your grass green and lively!
• The process involves penetrating the surface of the lawn, which allows water, air, and nutrients to reach the roots of the grass.
• It’s a great idea to schedule aeration during the spring and early fall.
• J. Michael recommends scheduling aeration before closing the sprinkler system, as to avoid causing damage to sprinkler heads.

Pruning
• Proper pruning increases plant vigor and helps you manipulate its shape.
• Well-pruned bushes maintain a natural shape and, to the untrained eye, will appear as if they haven’t been pruned at all.
• Pruning lets the sunshine in, which invigorates bushes by stimulating the growth of buds, leaves and branches. This increases the aesthetic beauty of your landscape because the bush produces more foliage and flowers.
• Increasing the number of leaves also enhances its photosynthetic capacity, which helps the bush feed itself.
• Pruning rejuvenates declining, overgrown and neglected shrubs. For this type of pruning, we will cut back the entire bush to the ground, or cut the branches back to the main trunk, depending on the kind of bush you have.

• Edging
