A Plus Landscaping | Trusted Landscaping in Hermantown, MN

Shifting rocks are often caused by soil erosion or freeze-thaw cycles common in our climate. The best fix involves first removing the rocks, then properly grading and compacting the soil base. We often install a durable landscape fabric barrier and use a specialized base material for stability before carefully resetting the rocks. This creates a long-lasting feature that can withstand our local weather.

Absolutely. For surface roots damaging your Hermantown lawn, we use careful techniques to preserve tree health. Solutions include gentle root pruning (following arborist standards), adding a layer of topsoil and reseeding, or creating a decorative mulch bed around the exposed roots. The goal is to restore your lawn's appearance while ensuring the tree remains healthy and stable.

Prevention starts with understanding our local Hermantown soil conditions. We recommend proper site preparation with adequate drainage solutions to manage water runoff, which is a key cause of erosion and shifting. Using deep-rooted native plants can stabilize soil, and installing root barriers near sensitive areas can protect hardscapes and lawns. A seasonal maintenance plan can also catch small issues before they become major problems.
