Common Questions

How can landscape design fix my lawn's drainage problems in Gilroy?

Poor drainage often stems from incorrect grading. Our landscape design service includes a site analysis to identify low spots where water pools. We then regrade the lawn to create a gentle slope away from your home, incorporating strategic drainage solutions like French drains or dry creek beds if needed. This prevents water damage to foundations and eliminates those soggy, dead patches in your turf.

What is greenscape design, and how does it help with dead turf areas?

Greenscape design focuses on the living elements of your yard—lawn, plants, and soil. In Gilroy, dead turf is often caused by compacted soil, poor irrigation, or unsuitable grass types. Our greenscape design addresses the root cause. We'll assess your soil, recommend aeration or amendments, design an efficient irrigation system, and select drought-tolerant grass varieties or alternative groundcovers that thrive here, creating a lush, resilient lawn.

Can you combine concrete work with landscaping to solve grading issues?

Absolutely. Our combined expertise is ideal for complex grading problems. For instance, we might use a concrete retaining wall to create a level planting area on a slope, or design a paved patio with integrated channel drains to direct runoff. This hardscape-softscape approach ensures both the structural integrity and the beauty of your outdoor space, solving drainage problems while adding valuable living and entertainment areas to your Gilroy home.
