Experienced Landscaping Services in Radford, VA 24141 - Edwards and Son Landscaping

Poor grading is a common issue in our area, often leading to water damage. The best solution starts with a professional assessment. We evaluate the slope and soil, then typically recommend regrading to create a gentle slope away from your home's foundation. This is often combined with installing French drains or channel drains to efficiently redirect water, protecting your property from erosion and foundation issues.

Preventing weeds starts with proper bed preparation. We recommend removing existing weeds, installing a quality landscape fabric barrier, and applying a thick layer (2-3 inches) of fresh mulch. For existing beds, our maintenance service includes careful weeding, edging to keep mulch in place, and refreshing the mulch layer annually to suppress new growth. Using the right type of mulch for our climate also makes a big difference.

Our seasonal cleanups are tailored to Radford's climate. In spring, we focus on removing winter debris, aerating compacted soil, and applying pre-emergent to prevent weeds. Fall cleanups are crucial for removing leaves to prevent lawn disease and preparing beds for winter. This proactive, seasonal approach keeps your landscape healthy year-round and prevents small issues from becoming major problems.
