All American Landscape Designs - Freehold's Certified Landscaping Services

Strategic landscape design is key. We can design your yard to incorporate features like mulch beds or ground covers around tree bases, which reduces soil compaction and competition for water and nutrients. For new plantings, we select species with less aggressive root systems and plan their placement to minimize future conflicts. For existing trees, our designs can include gentle grading or specialized irrigation to protect both the tree's health and your lawn's surface.

Our Freehold-focused lawn care tackles moss with a multi-step approach. First, we diagnose the underlying causes common here, like soil compaction, poor drainage, or excessive shade. Our service includes core aeration to relieve compaction, soil amendments to improve pH and drainage, and overseeding with shade-tolerant grass blends that outcompete moss. We also provide expert advice on seasonal mowing and watering practices to keep your lawn thick and moss-resistant.

Absolutely. For established trees, we use careful, non-invasive techniques. This often involves gently grading the soil to smooth out surface roots and then top-dressing with a thin layer of quality topsoil and compost before reseeding the area. We avoid cutting major roots, which can severely damage the tree. In some cases, we might recommend transitioning the area around the tree to a attractive mulch bed or shade-tolerant ground cover, a practical and beautiful solution we often incorporate into our landscape designs.
