 Hedge trimming involves pruning and shaping hedges, shrubs, and bushes to promote healthy growth and enhance your property's appearance. Regular trimming removes dead or diseased branches, improves air circulation and sunlight penetration, and keeps your landscape looking neat and well-maintained. For optimal results, we recommend trimming your hedges at least Bi-annually, and up to every other month during the growing season.

 Is your garden bed overgrown and in need of new mulch? This service is perfect for you! At Phelps Lawn Care, we clear out unwanted plants and debris from your garden bed and apply fresh mulch. Mulching helps retain moisture, suppress weeds, and regulate soil temperature, promoting healthier plant growth. It also prevents soil erosion and compaction, creating a better environment for your plants. Since mulch breaks down over time, it should be replaced annually for the best results. 

 Core aeration is a vital lawn care practice that involves perforating the soil with small holes to allow air, water, and nutrients to penetrate the grass roots. This process alleviates soil compaction, enhances soil health, and improves the overall resilience of your lawn. By creating channels for essential resources to reach the roots, core aeration promotes deeper root growth and supports the development of a stronger, healthier lawn. It also helps manage thatch buildup, reduces water runoff, and increases the effectiveness of fertilization efforts.

While core aeration alone provides significant benefits, pairing it with overseeding can further enhance your lawn's growth potential. Overseeding introduces new grass seed into the aerated soil, encouraging uniform coverage and helping to establish a thicker, greener lawn.

 Overseeding is the process of spreading grass seed across an existing lawn to improve its thickness, fill bare spots, and revitalize its overall health and appearance. By introducing fresh grass varieties, overseeding not only enhances the lawn's density but also increases its resilience to disease, pests, and environmental stressors. This simple yet effective technique promotes a lush, greener lawn that looks vibrant and feels healthier. For even greater results, overseeding can be paired with practices like dethatching, which removes excess debris and improves seed-to-soil contact, or core aeration, which alleviates soil compaction and creates an ideal environment for seed germination. Together, these services amplify growth potential and lawn vitality. 

 Lawn fertilization, often referred to as 'Weed & Feed,' involves applying a balanced mix of essential nutrients such as nitrogen, phosphorus, and potassium. This process promotes healthy grass growth, vibrant green color, and a resilient lawn. Regular fertilization strengthens your lawn's ability to resist pests, weeds, and diseases, ensuring a lush and thriving yard throughout the year.

To maximize its effectiveness, fertilization can be done in stages aligned with the seasons. In early spring, fertilization helps awaken the lawn from dormancy, encouraging root development and early growth. A late spring application supports continued growth and prepares the lawn for summer stress. During summer, fertilization provides nutrients to help the grass withstand heat, drought, and pests. Finally, a fall application strengthens the roots and prepares the lawn for winter, ensuring it emerges healthy and vibrant the following spring.  Fertilization can be essential aid in the overseeding of a yard as it supports soil nutrients and aids seed germination.
