Common Questions
Why is my yard in Lawrence eroding, and what's the best fix?
Lawrence's clay soil doesn't absorb water well, leading to runoff and erosion, especially on slopes. The best fix often involves a combination of solutions like installing a French drain to redirect water, adding strategic retaining walls, and planting deep-rooted native ground cover to hold the soil in place. We assess your specific site to create a custom, long-term plan.
My shrubs keep dying. What are the best plants for a low-maintenance Lawrence landscape?
Choosing plants not suited for our climate and soil is a common issue. We recommend hardy, native shrubs like sumac, chokeberry, or fragrant sumac that are drought-tolerant and thrive in Kansas. Our service includes soil testing and selecting the right plants for your yard's sun and drainage conditions to ensure they establish well and last.
Can you help with both the design and the heavy work for my erosion problem?
Absolutely. We handle the entire process from start to finish. First, we design a practical solution to stop the erosion and protect your foundation. Then, our crew executes the plan, which can include grading, installing drainage systems, building retaining walls, and planting stabilization vegetation—all with minimal disruption to you.
