Common Questions
How can Alvarez Landscaping fix tree root damage in my Merrillville lawn?
Tree root damage often creates uneven, unsafe surfaces. We address this by professionally grading the area to create a smooth, level base. For severe cases, we can construct or repair retaining walls to manage soil displacement and install new walkways or patios that work with the existing root structure. Our shrub and landscape installation services can also be used to strategically replant areas with root-resistant ground cover, improving both aesthetics and lawn health.
What landscaping solutions help with poor drainage and grading in my yard?
Poor grading is a frequent issue in our area that leads to water damage. Our solutions start with expert landscape construction and grading to ensure proper water runoff away from your home. We often install French drains, regrade lawns, and build retaining walls to redirect water and prevent erosion. Additionally, installing a properly sloped patio, walkway, or driveway can be integral to solving drainage problems while enhancing your outdoor living space.
Can you help maintain my shrubs if they're struggling due to lawn issues?
Absolutely. Shrubs suffering from poor soil conditions, waterlogging, or root competition need specialized care. Our shrub care services include disease and insect management, strategic pruning to promote health, and even transplanting to a more suitable location in your landscape. By first correcting underlying issues like grading and drainage, we create a healthier environment, then provide the ongoing maintenance your shrubs need to thrive in the Merrillville climate.
