Bark beneath your plants and trees looks good; slowly bio-degrades and adds nutrients to your soil - this is a good thing; reduces weeds; saves water by reducing water evaporation; and keeps plant roots cooler and healthier. 

We have black bark, light shredded cedar bark, dark shredded cedar/redwood bark or chipped/shredded walk on bark available. Ladybug will deliver the new bark; wheel barrow and spread it; sweep & blow off the bark from nearby driveways, patios and walkways; and if requested apply a pre-emergent weed control. One yard of bark will approximately cover about 300 square feet at about 1" thick, about 150 square feet at about 2" thick. Please ask Ladybug for an estimate of how much new bark you will need and for a quote.   Available in Folsom, Granite Bay, El Dorado Hills & Sacramento California

Kids, pets or some other type of damage to your lawn, well, it happens.

We'll prepare the damaged area by scalping off the top 1" or so; loosening the soil and mixing in planting soil and a starter fertilizer; install new sod that is a dwarf fescue/blue grass blend; provide first watering and instruct client on how to maintain new sod until established. Ladybug's sod and grass repair is for repair of a small damaged area, perhaps 10 to 100 square feet, of an otherwise healthy lawn. Please ask us and on our next weekly visit we will provide a quote for you. Please schedule your lawn and grass repair in advance.

Lawn aeration involves the mechanical removal of small soil plugs or cores out of the lawn. The cores are left on the lawn so that as we mow your lawn with our mulching-recycling mowers the soil and nutrients from the cores are mulched back into your soil. Some of the benefits of core aeration include:

• Increasing the activity of soil micro-organisms that decompose and breakdown thatch.
• Increasing water, nutrient and oxygen movement into the soil.
• Improving rooting.
• Enhancing infiltration of water from rainfall and irrigation.
• Helping prevent fertilizer and water run-off from overly compacted areas.

Ladybug lawn aeration is offered seasonally.
