Landscape and More: Everything You Need to Know

Our customer in the Highview area called to get the shrubs around their home trimmed. We trimmed and shaped the hedges in the front of the house below the window sill which maximized the amount of natural sunlight being let into the home.

Your air conditioning unit works hard to keep your home cool and comfortable through Kentucky’s hot summers. The truth is, many homeowners don’t realize that soil erosion, water runoff, and shifting ground can put their outdoor unit at risk. Over time, these issues can cause debris buildup, water damage, or even impact how efficiently your system runs. The good news? A simple landscaping solution can make all the difference: a retaining wall.

There are thousands of individual blades of grass in one square foot of your lawn and there can be up to hundreds of thousands (or more) in your lawn!

Pooling water in your yard might seem like a small nuisance, but it can signal a much bigger problem. In many cases, standing water around your home is caused by old, cracked, or blocked drain pipes. When your downspouts can’t properly move water away from your house, it can damage your lawn, stress your foundation, and in severe cases, even cause water to leak inside your home. We had a customer in the Fern Creek, KY area who reached out with this exact issue. As you can see in the photos their drain pipe was blocked, very worn, and frankly needed replaced.

Our team recently had the pleasure of working with a homeowner in the Glenmary area of Louisville, KY who wanted to refresh and elevate the landscaping around their back deck and patio.

We've been seeing an increase in brown spots that look dead in lawns around the Louisville area. It could be several different things - but one of those is a grub worm infestation.

Did you know that your lawn is made up of 1000s of individual grass plants?  Seeding is one of the most important things you can do for your lawn’s overall health, appearance, and ability to naturally fight weeds. Seeding increases the total number of healthy grass plants in your lawn which boosts density. Achieving an ideal density helps to naturally suppress weeds because there isn’t space for them to establish.
