Castillo Landscaping: Top-Rated Landscaping Services Serving Detroit, MI 48209

We prevent shifting by first preparing a stable base with proper compaction and a layer of landscape fabric to suppress weeds. For rock gardens, we use a combination of larger, anchoring boulders and smaller stones, strategically placed and sometimes set in a concrete footer for critical areas. This method accounts for soil movement during Detroit's harsh winters to keep your rock features looking intentional and secure.

For flat yards where water pools, a French drain system is often the most effective solution. We trench and install a perforated pipe surrounded by gravel, which collects subsurface water and redirects it away from your home's foundation to a safe discharge point like a storm drain or dry well. This discreet system solves the soggy yard problem without major regrading.

Absolutely. We take a minimally invasive approach whenever possible. Techniques like creating a subtle swale (a shallow ditch) or installing channel drains along walkways can redirect surface water with minimal disruption. For erosion near existing plants, we might use decorative solutions like river rock or retaining walls that blend with your current landscape while solving the problem.
