Landscape Maintenance

Marsh Haven LLC provides tailored landscape maintenance programs to keep your property looking beautiful year round.

Clean ups

Seasonal Clean Ups

Typically performed in both the spring and fall, our seasonal cleanups include removing all leaves, sticks, and any other organic material that could potentially cause your lawn to decompose if left atop.

All of this material is then either relocated to a compost pile or woods area on your property, or can be hauled away and disposed of off site.

Lawn De-Thatching

Thatch is a layer of yellowish brown organic matter that accumulates at the base of your lawn and becomes interwoven between your grass blades.

Once this layer becomes too thick it can basically suffocate your lawn by not allowing nutrients to reach the roots of the grass.

De-Thatching is the process of essentially power raking your lawn with hard tines to break up this material. With a short lawn cut prior to ensure close contact with the tines, thatch is then cleaned up and removed from your lawn.

We recommend having your lawn de-thatched once per year usually paired with a spring clean up

Lawn Aeration

An aeration is the process of plugging holes into your lawn to relieve compaction and allow air, water, and nutrients to reach the roots of your lawn.

If you take a screw driver and can not easily drive it into the soil of your lawn, odds are you could use an aeration.

Golf courses for example perform this about 8 times per year from all the foot traffic and compaction they experience on the soil of their grass.

We recommend having your lawn aerated at least once per year paired with an over seeding and starter fertilizer application

Lawn Over-Seeding

The best defense to weeds infiltrating your lawn is to have a thick barrier of grass that is already occupying the space in your soil.

Over-Seeding is the process of applying large quantities of grass seed to thicken up your existing lawn or to start a new lawn.

We recommend having your lawn over-seeded once per year alongside an application of starter fertilizer to ensure the seeds have a rich supply of nitrogen during their developmental process and pairing this service with a aeration, de-thatching, or lawn renovation.

Overseeding

Mulching

Mulching is the process of applying usually 3 inches of bark mulch to your garden beds and is available in a variety of colors.

Mulching helps inhibit weed growth, keeps your plants moist, and adds a beautiful rich color as if you just painted your garden beds.

We recommend having your garden beds mulched once per year and paired with our Garden Bed Edging.

Mulching

Garden Bed Natural Edging

Garden Bed Natural Edging is the process of vertically cutting/digging into your lawn to expose 3-4 inches of visible soil on its side and define where the delineation point is between your lawn and your garden beds.

Not only does this give your garden beds a bolder look, it also helps deter your grass from growing into your garden beds.

We recommend having your garden beds edged once per year and paired with mulching.

We also offer maintaining your garden beds edges as an add on to our Weekly Lawn Mowing Service.

Edging

Floral Care & Fine Gardening

Our Fine Gardening services typically include monthly visits where we will remove all weeds, dead head any flowers necessary, cut back perennials in autumn, rake the beds to be free of any debris, and apply a pre-emergent weed control application after every visit.

We also offer Seasonal & Annual plantings for example "mums" to keep your flower beds looking beautiful all season long.

Ornamental Shrub Pruning & Hedge Trimming

The ideal time of year to prune is unique to each plant.

Our Landscape Artisans possess the horticultural knowledge and skillset necessary to not only ensure your ornamental shrubs, trees, and hedges stay healthy with proper pruning & trimming techniques but will also sculpt them to an artistic size and shape.
