Proper installation is vital to the success of new plant material. Annuals, perennials, trees and shrubs all require special needs to be met during installation. Also, needs vary within these respective groups. Soil conditions and preparations, hole size, root conditions, and light and water requirements all factor into a successful installation.

Most lawns benefit from the addition of shrubs or hedges. The two can function as a natural barrier between you and your neighbors, add character to your yard, and serve as a handy and aesthetically pleasing way of covering up any imperfections, such as uneven ground. A shrub can work complementary to your existing foliage, or you can sculpt it into something visually striking, which makes it the center of attention. With a couple different kinds of shrubs to select from (namely deciduous, coniferous and evergreen) the only thing limiting you is how big your lawn is!

For some, shrubs and hedges serve a practical purpose; they’re a more attractive option to your fence, and can also disguise blemishes you may have on your lawn. For others however, a shrub or hedge is a blank canvas of types; they can be pruned into many different shapes depending upon your mood, acting as a sort of living art piece. Regardless of what your motivation is, Dorsey Lawn & Landscape has the skills and knowledge to care for your shrubs. We’ll keep them in tip top form, day in and day out.
