Amethyst Landscape Services - West Jordan's Experienced Landscapers

During installation, we address soil compaction at the root of the problem. Our process includes thorough soil aeration and amending with organic material to improve structure and drainage. This foundational step, crucial for new greenscapes and lawns, ensures your plants' roots can access water and nutrients, creating a healthier landscape from the start and combating our area's common compaction issues.

You're right, our climate can quickly dry out mulch. For your shrubs, we recommend and apply a proper 2-3 inch layer of coarse, organic mulch, which we refresh as part of our maintenance services. This helps retain crucial moisture, regulates soil temperature, and suppresses weeds. Combined with our deep-root watering techniques during shrub planting and care, this creates a much more resilient environment for your plants to thrive.

Absolutely. Shrubs stressed by compacted, dry soil are more susceptible to disease. Our disease management starts with a health assessment to identify underlying stressors. We then treat any active disease while implementing corrective care like aeration, proper watering adjustments via our irrigation services, and strategic pruning to improve air circulation. This holistic approach doesn't just treat the symptom; it helps build your shrubs' long-term resistance.
