Landscapers Yakima WA | Call Duran's Tree Service

Absolutely. Dying shrubs in our area are often caused by more than just lack of water. Common culprits include poor soil drainage from improper grading, root rot, or specific insect infestations and diseases prevalent in the Yakima Valley. Our team will inspect your shrubs, diagnose any diseases or pests, and assess your landscape's grading. We then provide a clear plan, which may involve shrub care treatments, corrective pruning, or even transplanting to a better location to resolve the underlying issue.

Poor grading directs water toward your home's foundation and can drown plant roots, leading to those dying shrubs and soggy lawns. Our landscape construction service addresses this by expertly reshaping your yard's contours. We install proper drainage solutions, like French drains or swales, and regrade the soil to ensure water flows away from structures and is distributed appropriately to your planting beds. This foundational work is crucial for long-term landscape health and protecting your property.

It depends on the severity and cause. Our first step is a thorough assessment. If a shrub is only partially affected by a treatable disease or pest, our insect and disease management services can often save it. However, if the plant is extensively damaged, the roots are compromised by rot (often from poor drainage), or it's an unsuitable species for the location, removal and replacement is usually the most effective long-term solution. We can handle the removal, improve the planting site, and install a new, healthier shrub better suited to Yakima's conditions.
