Scope:<\/strong> 4 crew members, 6 cubic yards of yard waste hauled away, 8 cubic yards of dark fine bark installed, general yard cleanup, and bamboo removal.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Here\u2019s a big summer transformation we did for our customer, Stephanie, in Shoreline. The process is the same: weed, trim, prune, rake, and haul. On this project, we also mowed the lawn and installed a substantial amount of bark in the garden beds.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Shoreline Yard Clean Up Project: <\/strong>Garden bed cleaned, shrubs trimmed, and the maple looking good after watering. Fresh dark fine bark gives it a clean finish.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

There\u2019s no big secret to it. Pull the weeds, cut back the overgrowth, shape the shrubs, clean up the debris, and haul it away. Each part makes a difference. Put it all together, and the whole yard changes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Once the cleanup was done, we spread bark through the garden beds to give them a clean finish and help suppress new weeds. Bark helps with maintenance, but the weeding and preparation come first.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Stephanie was happy with the result. A cleaned-up yard, freshly covered beds, and a space that\u2019s easier to keep under control.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"\/
Shoreline Yard Clean Up Project:<\/strong> The left side yard took half a day of weeding. We then installed dark fine bark to help suppress new weeds.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n
\"\"\/
Shoreline Yard Clean Up Project: <\/strong>The front yard required a tall ladder for access. We trimmed the sides and shaped the shrubs. The front rhododendrons are looking good. Dark fine bark gives the garden beds a clean contrast around the hostas.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Shoreline Yard Clean Up Project: <\/strong>Another angle of the garden bed, with the laurels trimmed and pruned in the background. Everything is looking neat and tidy.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n
\"\"\/
Shoreline Yard Clean Up Project: <\/strong>Significant tree pruning under the main deck. Access was difficult, but we managed to get the work done.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n
\"\"\/
Shoreline Yard Clean Up Project: <\/strong>The front side garden bed has a rock channel for drainage and appearance. Fresh bark around the ferns gives it a clean finish.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n
\"\"\/
Shoreline Yard Clean Up Project: <\/strong>Light side trimming on the large privacy laurel hedge. We may return next year to reduce the height.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n
\"\"\/
Shoreline Yard Clean Up Project:<\/strong> Another angle with the wheelbarrow, showing the fresh bark and neatly trimmed shrubs.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n
\"\"\/
Shoreline Yard Clean Up Project: <\/strong>Looking out from inside the front yard. You can see the garden beds, shrubs, bench, and lawn in the background.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n
\"\"\/
Shoreline Yard Clean Up Project: <\/strong>From the driveway, you get a full view of the maple. We kept it longer at the customer\u2019s request and cleared around the trellis and vines so they\u2019re visible again.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

\"\"\/
Shoreline Yard Clean Up Project:<\/strong> The final section: the right side garden bed, cleaned and maintained. We also trimmed and shaped the clumping bamboo.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
