before and after brush clearing project

Brushing Clearing

We cleared an overgrown plot of land filled with fallen trees and unwanted shrubs. First, we cut and removed the larger tree limbs, then used a large brush mower to mulch the branches and shrubs into chips for ground cover.

Small Front Garden Renovation

Updated this small front garden bed by replacing various evergreen shrubs with colorful flowers to attract pollinators, along with a stepping stone path. Now, a more pleasant garden to enjoy walking to the front door or sit on the porch and admire the flowers.

before and after resetting sunken pavers

Paver Repair and Reset

A clogged gutter downspout caused the base material under the pavers to wash away. We cleared the blockage and then laid down fabric before refilling and compacting new base material underneath the pavers. Finally, we reset the pavers to ensure they were flush with the rest of the patio and the top step. 

before and after lawn renovation project

Lawn Renovation/Overseeding

This lawn was overrun with weeds and plagued by grubs. After addressing these problems, we meticulously raked out the dead grass and weeds, loosened the soil, spread fresh grass seed, and enriched it with vital nutrients. With consistent watering over the following weeks, we transformed it into a vibrant, lush lawn that you can be proud of!

before and after of brush mowing

Brush Hogging/Cutting

​This area is designated for the growth of native wildflowers and meadow plants. Each year, we mow the plants and grass to allow native plant seeds to reach the ground, promoting reseeding. Regular mowing helps us control unwanted plants that could otherwise overtake the native species.

Front Garden Revitalization

​​We removed the overgrown shrubs that were obscuring the front of the house. Then, we enlarged the garden bed to extend to the edge of the walkway and planted a variety of colorful native flowers and small flowering shrubs. This addition will provide different colors throughout the growing season and attract pollinators.

before and after yard cleanup

Backyard Brush Cleanup

The overgrown backyard was cleaned out. Cutting and removing unwanted trees and shrubs. Trimmed back the ground cover to the garden's edge and cut a Rose of Sharon in the corner to allow it to regrow at a smaller size.
