Edwin and his team did an excellent job giving our landscape a mid-summer refresh. Weeded, re-edged all the beds, and pruned our property and it looks terrific. Essential always gives us great service and we love their crew.

We switched to Essential Landscapes this year from a previous company, and we’ve been very pleased with the results. We appreciate that the owner Tim has made himself available on multiple occasions to walk our yard and discuss the work that we want done.
Chris Guenard
Essential has been a big part of making my lawn look fantastic! My biggest concern when I haired them was communication, as my past landscapers were not good at that. Tim assured me I could reach out to him at any time and four years later that still hold true. Highly recommend Essential Landscapes.

How often should I schedule lawn fertilization and weed control?
Most lawns benefit from multiple treatments throughout the year, typically spaced around key growing periods in spring, summer, and fall to keep grass healthy and weeds under control.
Is weekly lawn mowing really necessary?
During the active growing season, weekly mowing helps maintain proper grass height, prevents stress, and keeps your lawn looking consistently clean and well-kept.
How do I know if my lawn needs core aeration?
If your lawn feels hard underfoot, drains poorly, or struggles to grow evenly, it’s often a sign that the soil is compacted and could benefit from aeration.
When is the best time to install mulch?
Mulch is usually installed in the spring to lock in moisture and prevent early weed growth, but it can also be refreshed later in the season if needed.
Do you help with choosing and maintaining plants or flowers?
Yes, we can recommend and install plants or annual flowers that fit your property, and we offer ongoing maintenance to keep everything looking its best.
What’s included in a seasonal cleanup service?
Spring and fall cleanups typically involve removing leaves and debris, cleaning out beds, and getting your landscape ready for the upcoming season.
Our landscapers are trained and licensed to use professional-grade products and equipment to give you the best results.
