A&M Gardening | Top-Rated Landscaping in Placerville, CA

Proper landscape construction is the foundation for solving drainage problems. We specialize in expert grading during installation to ensure water flows away from your home's foundation and doesn't pool in your yard. For areas prone to mulch erosion, we can incorporate retaining walls, terraces, or strategic hardscaping to hold soil and mulch in place, creating a stable and beautiful landscape that withstands our local conditions.

When poor grading causes water to collect, standard lawn care isn't enough. We first assess the grading issue. Our solution often involves core aeration to improve soil absorption and adjusting our mowing and watering schedules to prevent fungus in wet areas. For severe cases, we may recommend regrading or installing a French drain as part of our lawn care program to create a healthier, drier, and more even lawn surface.

Absolutely. Strategically planted trees and shrubs are nature's best erosion control. Their root systems bind the soil, reducing washout. As part of our tree planting service, we select species with robust root structures suited for Placerville slopes. Furthermore, our tree pruning and trimming services ensure healthy canopy growth, which helps break the impact of heavy rain, slowing water runoff and giving the ground more time to absorb moisture, which minimizes erosion.
