Dominion Lawn & Landscaping - Virginia Beach's Professional Landscaping Services

In our area, dying shrubs are often caused by poor drainage leading to root rot, salt spray damage from coastal winds, or incorrect planting for our soil type. We diagnose the specific cause—whether it's a soil issue, pest, or disease—and provide targeted solutions like soil amendments, proper pruning, or recommending more resilient, native plant replacements that thrive here.

Standing water is a common issue due to our flat topography and dense soil. We correct this by installing French drains, regrading the land to promote proper runoff, or creating dry creek beds and rain gardens. These solutions not only eliminate soggy lawns and mosquito breeding grounds but can also be designed as attractive landscape features that protect your foundation.

The best approach starts with a professional assessment of your yard's drainage and soil. We design landscapes with these local challenges in mind, using techniques like planting in raised beds for better drainage, selecting salt-tolerant and native plants suited to our climate, and ensuring proper grading from the start. This proactive, expert planning saves you time and money on corrections later.
