Absolutely. A primary focus of our custom landscape design is solving drainage problems. We assess your property's grading and water flow, then design and implement solutions such as strategic grading, dry creek beds, or French drain systems. This not only protects your home's foundation but also creates an opportunity to integrate beautiful, water-tolerant plants into your new landscape.

Our proactive maintenance includes inspecting and reinforcing landscape edging, which is often damaged by frost heaves, mowers, and root growth in our climate. We keep beds neatly defined, which prevents soil and mulch from spilling onto lawns and helps contain water runoff. Properly maintained edging is a key, often overlooked, defense against erosion and messy, undefined yard borders.

Tree roots play a significant role in soil absorption and stability. Our tree care services, including health assessments, pruning, and root zone management, ensure your trees are assets, not liabilities. Healthy trees help absorb excess groundwater, while strategic pruning improves sunlight to lawns for better growth. We can also address issues where invasive roots are damaging edging or drainage systems, providing a holistic solution.
