Awesome! Blue Sky did an outstanding job removing our nasty old shrubs in front and installing flat stone walls for new beds and installed many different colorful flowering plants. A lot of work to remove those shrubs and shape all those flat stones to put in place. Also installed underground drainage system for the downspouts on each edge of the house. Will continue to use their many available services.

Why does your lawn need spring cleanup?

Just as your body needs detox to eliminate toxins, your yard needs to be cleaned to eliminate trash, dead leaves, and debris.

It will not be appealing to passersby if you have a pretty place but an unkempt lawn. A dead and rough property also causes ticks and other parasites to get in and breed.

Getting a spring cleanup and other professional lawn care services is crucial to protecting your landscaping and outdoor space.

Spring Clean Service Consists of:

Main Types of Mulch

black mulch on trees
Color Enhanced Black Mulch

Color enhanced black mulch is a popular choice for those looking to add a dramatic contrast to their landscape.

This mulch is created by adding a black dye to natural wood chips or shredded bark. The dye used in the process is typically made from a carbon-based substance, making it safe for plants and the environment.

The dark color of black mulch not only looks visually appealing but also helps to retain moisture in the soil by reducing evaporation, making it a practical choice for gardeners.

Color-enhanced dark down mulch with bushes
Color Enhanced Brown Mulch

Color enhanced brown mulch is another option for those looking to add color to their landscape.

This mulch is typically created by adding a brown dye to natural wood chips or shredded bark. The brown color adds a warm and natural feel to the landscape, making it a popular choice for gardeners who want a more subdued look.

Brown mulch also provides the same benefits as black mulch, such as helping to retain moisture in the soil, while still providing a more neutral appearance.

Natural brown mulch around a tree
Natural Mulch

Natural colored mulch is a popular choice for gardeners who want a more organic look to their landscape.

This mulch is made from natural wood chips or shredded bark without the addition of any dyes. The natural color of the wood provides a warm and earthy feel to the landscape, blending in seamlessly with the surroundings.

While natural colored mulch does not provide the same dramatic contrast as color enhanced mulch, it still helps to retain moisture in the soil and provides a natural weed barrier. Additionally, natural colored mulch is a great option for gardeners who are conscious of the environment, as it is a more sustainable choice.

Frequently Asked Questions

1. Why is spring cleanup important for my lawn?

A well-maintained lawn not only enhances the curb appeal of your property but also serves as a deterrent for ticks and parasites.

Investing in spring cleanup services can effectively eliminate debris, dead leaves, and trash from your lawn, resulting in a cleaner and healthier outdoor space. This ensures that your lawn remains inviting to passersby while minimizing the risk of infestations and the associated health concerns.

2. What does the spring clean service include?

We also prioritize soil health by aerating it, allowing better nutrient absorption for lush growth. We also apply organic compost to nourish your garden bed and care for perennials by cutting back unkempt growth. Tree and shrub care and effective weed and pest control measures complete our thorough spring clean service.

3. Why is mulching important for my garden bed?

Mulching plays a crucial role in maintaining the landscape's health. It effectively inhibits weed growth, minimizing the competition for nutrients and sunlight.

Mulching helps retain the optimal moisture level in the soil, reducing water evaporation and promoting healthy root development. Additionally, mulch adds visual appeal, enhancing the overall aesthetics of the garden. Moreover, it acts as insulation, safeguarding plants from extreme temperature fluctuations and providing a stable and conducive environment for their growth.

4. What are the main types of mulch available?

When it comes to mulch, you have several options to choose from. The main types include color-enhanced black mulch, color-enhanced brown mulch, and natural mulch.

Each type not only offers distinct visual effects but also provides specific benefits. For instance, color-enhanced mulches provide eye-catching hues while aiding in moisture retention and weed control. On the other hand, natural mulch offers an organic look, blending seamlessly with the surroundings while serving as a natural weed barrier and retaining soil moisture.

5. Is color enhanced mulch safe for plants and the environment?

Rest assured, color-enhanced mulch is completely safe for plants and the environment. The dyes utilized in the coloring process are typically derived from carbon-based substances that pose no harm to plants.

These mulches not only offer visual appeal, with their vibrant colors adding beauty to your landscape, but they also serve a practical purpose. They contribute to your plant's overall health and vitality, ensuring the latter receives the hydration necessary for optimal growth and development.
