Most people make a trip to the vet and use medications to eradicate these pesky parasites from their pets' fur. While this is an immediately effective solution, the majority of these pet-owners haven't considered where these bugs came from. The truth is, your lawn is the perfect place for ticks and fleas to live and breed. While fleas prefer places with little sunlight such as the nooks and crannies around your deck, furniture and lawn structures, ticks like thick patches of tall grass and the branches of trees.

Sure, retaining walls look like simple stacked stone, block, or timber. But in fact, they're carefully engineered systems that wage an ongoing battle with gravity. They restrain tons of saturated soil that would otherwise slump and slide away from a foundation or damage the surrounding landscape. These handsome barriers also make inviting spots to sit, and can increase usable yard space by terracing sloped properties. If your property needs a retaining wall, or if the one you currently have is failing, we can design and install a new one with one of several different types of material: timber; interlocking blocks; stacked stone, block; or concrete.

Nothing detracts from a beautiful lawn or flower bed more than unsightly weeds. Not only do they ruin the look but they also compete for the same nutrients as your grass and flowers, and can grow so fast that they can take over and kill out surrounding plants.

To start with what type of weeds are you trying to remove? And where are the weeds located?

Occurrences of diseases such as Zika Virus, Encephalitis and West Nile Virus (just to name a few) are increasing as mosquito populations rise and transmit these infections.

But, there is actually an effective and safe mosquito control strategy that is both fast acting and long-lasting.

Your lawn is where your life unfolds. Yet, during the process, your soil and grass take a beating. From children and pets playing to parked vehicles and heavy rainfall, soil gets compacted and thatch builds up over time. As a result, grass roots start to suffocate and can't get the nutrients they need to grow and flourish. But with aeration from Galbraith's, you can open up your lawn again - and help it breathe and thrive. Are you noticing puddles of water that aren't getting absorbed? Does grass look thin and weak despite adequate watering and fertilizing?
