Seattle Cut back fountain grass

If you’re dealing with overgrown fountain grass in your Seattle yard, you’re not alone. This beautiful ornamental grass can become unruly if left unchecked, impacting your property’s curb appeal and safety. The good news is that cutting back fountain grass is a straightforward solution that can rejuvenate your landscape. By trimming it back, you not only enhance the visual appeal of your garden but also promote healthier growth. Plus, it’s a low-maintenance task that offers eco-friendly benefits. Let’s dive into the details!


Description & Benefits

What the Service Includes

When you hire us to cut back your fountain grass, the service includes several key tasks:

  • Assessment: We’ll first evaluate the health and size of your fountain grass.
  • Trimming: Using sharp, clean shears or a string trimmer, we will cut back the grass to about 6-12 inches above the ground.
  • Cleanup: All cuttings will be gathered and removed from your property, leaving your space tidy.
  • Mulching (optional): We can add a fresh layer of mulch around the base to retain moisture and suppress weeds.

Key Benefits

  • Appearance: A well-maintained garden enhances your home’s curb appeal, making it more inviting.
  • Durability: Regular trimming helps prevent disease and promotes healthy, vigorous growth.
