Monkey Grass Woes

We had the sweetest homeowner call us about her troublesome front yard last week. She originally had a nicely manicured yard with a border of monkey grass. But that was years ago. The border had overtaken everything, along with the weeds, and the grass was eating her sidewalk. She just wanted to get rid of the weeds and clean it all up. We took care of it and the yard looks so clean and fresh now.

It all started with this sidewalk. She had a wonderful path straight from the road to the door and it had seen better days. The grass and weeds had encroached so far it was almost impassable. A little TLC brought it back out to its actual size.

As you can see, the monkey grass was a bit of a problem. It was everywhere. She wanted to have it cleaned out to be just a border like it was originally. We pulled out the weeds, took out the unwanted plants, and trimmed up the remaining ones. Fresh mulch topped it off all off.

We couldn’t be happier with this outcome and we love being able to help our customers!

Gardening

We’ve branched out into gardening and we just loved working on this home!

Carol pointed us in the direction she wanted to go and then let us get to work. Some overgrown shrubs were replaced and we filled everything in with bright pops of color. In a couple of weeks, once the flowers have been given a chance to thrive, this house will definitely be eye-catching.

The best part for the homeowner is that these flowers are maintenance-free. For a small monthly fee we take care of them like our own. This includes watering, fertilizing, pruning, deadheading, and replacing flowers that just aren’t thriving.

If you would like to see about brightening up your home and improving your curb appeal, shoot us a text or an email. We would love to bring your vision to life.
