Lawn Services, Mulching, Yard Cleanup

The Tree Company That Also Does the Beds

People usually find us looking for a tree service and then ask whether we can handle the rest of the yard while we are there. We can, and that is how most of this work starts.

A tree job already involves everything the beds need. We are on site with the trucks, the chipper, and a crew that is going to rake and haul before it leaves. Adding the mulch, the bed edging, and the shrub cutback to the same visit costs you one appointment instead of three and one company to call instead of two.

It also avoids the handoff problem. When a tree crew and a landscaper work the same property separately, the tree crew leaves ruts and chips for the landscaper to deal with, and nobody owns the finished look. When it is one crew, the yard gets left the way it should be because we are the ones who made the mess.

Mulch, and Where Ours Comes From

We run a chipper and a stump grinder every week, which means we are producing wood chips constantly.

If you want chips rather than bagged mulch, we can leave them from your own job or bring them from another. Chips are coarser than dyed bark mulch and they break down slower, which suits play areas, paths, and the ground under trees better than a manicured front bed.

For beds along the front of a house, most people want proper bark mulch, and we install that too. Either way the prep is the same. We edge the bed so the line is clean and the mulch stays put, pull what is growing where it should not be, and lay it at a depth that actually suppresses weeds without smothering the plants.

The one thing we will not do is pile mulch against the trunk. Mulch volcanoes around the base of a tree hold moisture against the bark, invite rot and rodents, and kill trees slowly enough that nobody connects the two. Mulch goes out to the drip line and stays back off the trunk, every time.

Spring and Fall Cleanup

Two visits a year keep a yard from becoming a project.

• Spring. Everything winter left behind. Fallen limbs, matted leaves out of the beds and off the lawn, winter damage on shrubs cut back, beds edged and re-mulched before things start growing.
• Fall. Leaves cleared and hauled, beds cut back and put to bed, and any limb that looks like it will not survive an ice storm taken off before it comes down on something.
• Both visits. Debris leaves with us. We do not bag it and leave it at the curb for you to deal with.

The fall visit is the one worth booking early. Once the first real storm hits the Lehigh Valley, we are on emergency calls and the cleanup schedule fills fast.

What Else Gets Handled While We Are There

If it is green and it is in the way, ask. Most of it we can take care of on the same visit.

• Overgrown shrubs and hedges cut back or removed entirely
• Bed edging and reshaping
• Brush and undergrowth cleared off fence lines and property lines
• Stumps ground out and the hole backfilled
• Storm debris hauled off

We serve Allentown, Bethlehem, Emmaus, Hellertown, Catasauqua, Fountain Hill, Northampton, Coplay, and the surrounding Lehigh Valley towns. Estimates are free and itemized, so you can take the whole list or just the part you want done now.
