Landscaping Services Burlington IA | Call A.G. Services

Poor grading often directs water toward your foundation. We start by evaluating and correcting the lawn slope to ensure proper runoff away from your home. Then, we complement this by thoroughly cleaning and maintaining your gutters and downspouts. This dual approach ensures rainwater is effectively captured by the gutters and safely channeled away by the improved grading, protecting your foundation and preventing basement moisture issues common in our area.

The key is a proactive, multi-step approach. First, our pressure washing service can thoroughly clean old mulch beds and hardscapes of debris where weeds germinate. Then, during our landscaping service, we apply a fresh layer of quality mulch at the proper depth (2-3 inches) to suppress new weeds. For existing beds, we carefully remove weeds by hand or with targeted treatments before mulching. We also recommend and can install landscape fabric beneath mulch in high-traffic or problematic areas for longer-lasting control.

Absolutely. In Burlington, we use pressure washing as a powerful tool for landscape upkeep. We can gently clean mold and algae from patios, walkways, and retaining walls, improving safety and appearance. More importantly, we can clean build-up from driveway edges and gutter splash zones, areas that often harbor weed seeds. By removing this organic matter, we help reduce the seed source for weeds in your adjacent mulch beds and lawn, contributing to a healthier overall landscape.
