For homeowners in Charlotte, maintaining a garden can be an ongoing and difficult undertaking. It takes a lot of time and work to create a beautiful garden, especially in Charlotte and its surrounding areas with their humid and wet climate. Regular lawn cutting is essential, especially in the sweltering summer months.
Timely fertilization, mowing, and aeration of your grass are equally important to creating a year-round-appealing garden area. At Top Gardens, we understand how crucial it is to give plants a healthy environment free from pests and illnesses. Accurate and timely pruning and fertilizing, in addition to careful leaf removal, are also crucial.

We offer a comprehensive range of garden and yard maintenance services.

Leaf Removal & Fall Clean up

Mature trees may add beauty and charm to any Charlotte, NC house. However, when autumn approaches, the falling leaves become a source of stress. Allowing leaves to pile on your lawn can promote the spread of fungus and mold, cause turf damage, and result in unattractive dead patches in the spring. Furthermore, a garden scattered with autumn leaves and garbage might give the impression of being neglected and uncared for, making it difficult to be proud of your property’s appearance. The most effective way to rid your lawn of leaves is to hire a professional leaf removal and yard cleanup service, such as Top Garden Inc. They will perform a thorough leaf cleanup, removing all fallen leaves and leaving your yard looking clean and ordered.

Lawn Mowing

Mowing the grass is a common chore for most Charlotte, NC residents, and it may be a dreaded undertaking. A typical-sized garden can take approximately one hour to mow and has to be done weekly. But what if there was a better way to approach this? How much time could you save if you had some help, and would your grass eventually look better and be healthier?

We provide attentive mowing services, including accurate edging and speedy cleanup, to ensure that your lawn is neat and well-maintained. We work with you and your family to develop a regular lawn mowing schedule that ensures your grass is trimmed to meet neighborhood standards while requiring no effort on your side. When our staff arrives, they will inspect your lawn to decide the best time to mow it.

Aeration and Seeding

Many Charlotte garden layouts feature a combination of vivid grass and attractive shrubs and trees. Unfortunately, grass and groundcover will gradually thin out over time as they deplete nutrients owing to the enjoyment your family has in your yard. Aeration allows your soil to breathe, allowing critical nutrients to migrate from the soil’s top to the roots of your grass, where they are most required. Seeding, on the other hand, ensures that grass and ground cover thrive and form lush, gorgeous carpets in regions that would otherwise be sparse.

Our aeration and seeding maintenance services are intended to keep your outdoor environment, particularly your grass, lush and vibrant. You won’t have to worry about anything; simply enjoy your space. We’ll take care of your lawn’s demands exactly when they arise.

Sod Installation

Sod installation is a quick and easy way to create a lush, green garden cover. However, it is not as simple as unrolling a carpet; appropriate installation requires the knowledge of a professional gardener. Top Garden will carefully select fresh and healthy sod that is suitable for your grass. They will next prepare the underlying soil, lay the sod, and provide you with upkeep instructions. As a result, your yard can go from bare dirt to a lush blanket of grass in only one day, saving you the time and effort required for planting, protecting, and watering grass seed.

Other Garden Maintenance Services

In addition to the services mentioned above, we also offer regular fertilizer application programs, fallen leaf removal, fertilization, systemic pills, ant control, installation of quality mulch or pine needles, and spring and fall annual color.
