FAQs About Landscaping in Waukesha, WI
What is the best time of year for tree and shrub care in Wisconsin?
Dormant season, typically late fall through early spring, is the ideal time for tree and shrub pruning. It minimizes stress on plants, reduces disease risk, and allows for better shaping before spring growth.
How do I choose between pruning and trimming?
Pruning is strategic and focuses on the health and structure of trees or shrubs, while trimming is more about maintaining shape and appearance.
Can you help with plant health issues like pests or disease?
Yes. We provide comprehensive Plant Health Care (PHC) programs, including diagnostics, targeted treatments, and preventative care to keep your landscape healthy.
Do you offer financing for large projects?
Yes. We provide in-house financing options with no money down and no credit check required, making it easier to invest in your dream landscape.
What makes dormant season landscaping more effective?
Dormant season work causes less stress on plants, reduces soil compaction from heavy equipment, and minimizes disruption to your daily life.
Do you only serve residential clients?
No. While we specialize in residential landscaping, we also work with select commercial properties, including HOA common areas and boutique commercial sites.
