Common Questions
Can overgrown shrubs and mossy lawns in Lakewood cause bigger problems for my home?
Yes, they can. Overgrown shrubs can trap moisture against your home's exterior walls and foundation, promoting rot and mold. Thick moss on lawns often indicates poor drainage and compacted soil, which can lead to water pooling and potential foundation issues. Our services like earthmoving/regrading, shrub care (pruning, removal, or transplanting), and proper landscape installation address these root causes to protect your property's structure and improve water management.
What's the best long-term solution for a mossy, soggy yard in Lakewood?
The most effective long-term fix often involves improving drainage and replacing problem areas. We start with earthmoving or regrading to ensure water flows away from your home. Then, we might install a French drain, a permeable patio or walkway, or a retaining wall to manage slope. Finally, we install a new, proper lawn or opt for low-maintenance greenscape construction with plants suited to our local climate, which are less prone to moss and disease.
We want to reclaim our backyard from overgrowth for a new patio. Where do we start?
Start with a site evaluation from our design team. We'll assess the overgrown shrubs and trees, recommend which need pruning, removal, or transplanting, and plan the best location for your new patio, walkway, or outdoor kitchen. As a full-service contractor, we handle everything from tree and shrub removal to the masonry/concrete construction of your new patio, ensuring a seamless transformation from an unmanageable space to a beautiful, usable outdoor living area.
