FAQs
How can you fix the bare patches and poor drainage in my Woodland lawn?
We tackle this common local issue with a multi-step approach. First, we assess and correct the lawn grading to ensure proper water flow away from your home. Then, we address bare patches through aeration, topdressing, and overseeding with hardy grass varieties suited to our area. For severe cases, we can install a new, properly graded lawn as part of a full landscape construction project, often integrating a new irrigation system to ensure even, efficient watering.
Can a new patio or retaining wall help with yard drainage problems?
Absolutely. In many Woodland homes, poor grading leads to water pooling in unwanted areas. A strategically designed and installed retaining wall can create level terraces that manage slope and control erosion. Similarly, a properly installed patio with the correct pitch and base materials can direct surface water away from your home's foundation and toward appropriate drainage areas, solving functional issues while adding valuable outdoor living space.
What's included in your landscape design and construction service for a full yard renovation?
Our full-scope service starts with a design that addresses both aesthetics and practical issues like drainage. The construction phase includes grading and soil preparation, installation of hardscape elements (patios, walkways, walls), and planting of shrubs and greenscapes chosen for our local climate. Crucially, we design and install a tailored irrigation system—including repair zones if needed—to ensure your new landscape receives the right amount of water without waste, protecting your investment and solving those persistent bare spots.
