Landscaping Lexington NC | Call Canady's Landscaping & Erosion Control

Shrubs in our area often die due to factors like improper planting depth, poor soil drainage, or damage from local pests and weather extremes. As your local landscaper, we diagnose the specific cause—whether it's compacted clay soil common in Davidson County or root rot from overwatering. Our solution involves correcting the planting site, amending the soil for better health, and selecting hardy, native shrubs suited for Lexington's climate to ensure long-term survival and beauty.

Persistent weeds in mulch beds are usually a sign of inadequate bed preparation or using the wrong type or depth of mulch. We tackle this by first removing all existing weeds and applying a professional-grade landscape fabric barrier where appropriate. Then, we install a proper 2-3 inch layer of high-quality, dyed mulch or natural hardwood mulch. This depth effectively blocks sunlight to prevent new weed seeds from germinating while retaining soil moisture for your plants, saving you time and effort in maintenance.

Absolutely. Erosion after heavy rains is a common issue in Lexington due to our terrain and soil types. We offer specific erosion control solutions like installing retaining walls, creating dry creek beds, or using specialized ground covers and grasses to stabilize the soil. By managing water flow and protecting vulnerable slopes, we not only prevent further loss of your topsoil and mulch but also create a more functional and attractive landscape that stands up to local weather patterns.
