Trees are more than just beautiful to look at. They provide important benefits for our environment and health. Trees can capture and absorb rainfall in areas that are affected by excessive water.  The roots soak up the moisture, which in turn reduces runoff. This can help to prevent flooding and erosion.

The best spring lawns begin in autumn! Now is the time to scarify and aerate your lawn to ensure that it remains strong and healthy throughout the winter months, especially before our northern temperatures drop in October. Early lawn aeration and scarification provide your grass with a necessary boost, allowing air, water, and essential nutrients to penetrate the root zone—the three vital components for a thriving lawn.
