Spring Clean Up And Mulch In Dunmore, PA

This was a clean up project that we had done for a neighbor of ours in Dunmore, PA. The front bed had been neglected and they were getting ready to put the house up for sale. It might be a little hard to see in the before picture, but the shrub at the far end is actually two shrubs growing together. There was a rhododendron shrub that had grown inside the Azalea bush. They wanted to save the Azalea, which they said looked not so healthy. Upon closer inspection I was able to see sooty mold on it, which was most likely from scale. Scale is a type of insect that has become very common in the Dunmore area. A professional landscaping service will always be able to help discover these type of pests and help you with a treatment. Another issue was all the old decaying leaves under the shrubs. In order to make this Dunmore landscape look amazing, we had to start with cutting out the intrusive rhododendron. We then trimmed off the damaged areas of the Azalea. The yew shrubs were shaped up. All the leaves and clippings were then raked and blown out. A fresh layer of black triple ground hardwood mulch from Throop Landscape Supply was installed. The Azalea received a deep root systemic pest treatment and a topical application of horticulture oil. Finally, an application of pre-emergent weed control was put down on the mulching. If you want your Landscape to look as fresh and clean as this Dunmore landscape.
