American Elm Landscape - Lexington's Reliable Landscaping Services

Soil compaction is common in our area and prevents proper water absorption, leading to poor drainage and unhealthy lawns. Our earthmoving and regrading services correct the slope and contour of your land, directing water away from your foundation and preventing pooling. This process often involves aerating compacted soil and adding amendments to improve its structure, creating a better foundation for new grass, plants, and hardscapes that will thrive long-term.

Tree root competition is a frequent issue in Lexington. We offer a multi-step approach. First, our tree care experts can assess the health of the tree and recommend selective root pruning or canopy thinning to reduce competition. For the lawn area, we can design and install a specialized irrigation system that delivers water more efficiently to the grass roots. In severe cases, we may recommend replacing the affected turf with a greenscape solution like shade-tolerant ground cover or a permeable patio, which adds beauty while solving the root problem.

Absolutely. Constructing a patio, terrace, or walkway over problem areas is a durable and attractive solution. For tree root zones, we use construction techniques that protect the tree's health while creating a stable, level surface. For areas with chronic soil issues, these hardscapes eliminate the maintenance headache altogether. We design and build with materials and methods suited to New England's climate, ensuring your new feature is both functional for your family and a lasting enhancement to your Lexington home.
