Does your landscape need a personal touch? Now is the time to plan your dreams with a landscape design build from Grosh’s Lawn Service!
We will meet with you to discuss what you are visualizing for your special project and will make sure you receive the best return for your investment.
We place the right plant in the right place so that when your trees and shrubs mature, they do not have to be removed due to outgrowing the area. Proper landscaping, including planting the correct trees, definitely can increase your property value. |

It is that time of year when leaves are starting to fall. Tom and his team will be glad to collect the leaves so your lawn receives the proper amount of sunlight each day, as the hours of sunlight decrease.
Did you know that plants use sunlight to create energy which fuels growth and green color? Please remember the grass will not receive the proper amount of oxygen if leaves lay on top of the grass.

As the temperatures change in the Washington County, Maryland, area, are you wondering when is the proper time to remove your hummingbird feeders?
According to old wives' tales, if you leave your hummingbird feeders out after the start of fall, hummingbirds will not migrate south. However, don't worry, this is completely untrue.
As with most birds, the hummingbird will migrate based on environmental cues. But, every so often, a few hummingbirds will overwinter in the mid-Atlantic region. Typically, these birds were blown off course, or are inexperienced at migrating.
Take a look at your feeders. If, after October 2, you don't see any signs of activity around your hummingbird feeders, and don't see any activity for the following two weeks, then it is safe to take down your hummingbird feeders for the season. Most birds will have migrated by this time.
Make sure to deep clean your hummingbird feeders before winter storing. If your hummingbird feeders are stored in a shed or outbuilding ensure that all moisture is gone before winter, or the feeders will likely crack and freeze during the cold winters. Check out our blog post on hummingbirds here, and watch the YouTube video below. |

Did you know that different parts of the tree grow at different times of the year? Root growth occurs in the fall and winter months, followed by foliage that grows mostly in the spring. Trunk growth mainly occurs during the summer months.
Do you have any stressed plants, infested with insects, and in need of some professional help? Contact Tom at Tom@GroshsLawnService.com to get your trees back in good health. |

Did you know the average tree takes in about 520 gallons of water each year? Have your trees received the proper amount of moisture this year?
Were your shrubs planted back under the drip edge of the house? Are they crying for water?
Remember, you get out of your plants what you put in to them, so water them properly!
Your birds and other wildlife need some fresh water as well so make sure you have a place or two for them to drink safely! |

TREE TRIMMING AND THINNING
|
|
Do your trees need dead wooding? Do you have broken or damaged tree limbs that need attention? Are there limbs on your trees that are low and droopy and causing a serious safety issue since they are obstructing your view? Are your trees in need of thinning to allow the wind to blow through, instead of blowing twigs and branches onto your lawn?
Email Tom at Tom@GroshsLawnService.com to schedule your tree care consultation.

Tom,
My house sold... I appreciate everything you have done for me. I really think your service was instrumental in getting it sold. Thank you very much.
