Deep Roots Design & Landscape | Trusted Landscaping Services in Ridgeland, MS

For overgrown shrubs common in our area, we recommend a two-step approach. First, we can perform a careful rejuvenation pruning at the right time of year to reduce size and encourage healthy new growth from the base. For shrubs that are too large or woody, strategic removal and replacement with a better-suited native species often provides a more sustainable, low-maintenance solution that enhances your home's curb appeal.

Bare patches here are often caused by a combination of compacted clay soil, shade, improper watering, or pest activity like chinch bugs. We start by diagnosing the exact cause—testing soil, checking for pests, and assessing sunlight and drainage. Our fix typically involves core aeration to relieve compaction, amending the soil, and overseeding with a heat-tolerant, disease-resistant grass blend suited for Mississippi, followed by a tailored care plan to ensure thick, healthy regrowth.

Prevention starts with smart design and regular maintenance. We can help by creating a landscape plan using native and slower-growing plants that are naturally better suited to our climate and require less pruning. Implementing a simple, seasonal maintenance schedule—including proper pruning times, soil care, and efficient irrigation—will keep your landscape manageable and healthy year-round, saving you time and preserving your home's beautiful appearance.
