Ellie's Garden and Landscaping | Licensed Landscaping in Newark, DE

Standing water and dead areas often point to drainage issues or soil compaction common in our area. We start by assessing your yard's grading and soil health. Solutions can include regrading, installing French drains, or using permeable hardscaping materials to redirect water. For dead patches, we diagnose underlying causes like disease or poor soil and recommend targeted treatments, aeration, or replanting with native grasses suited to Delaware's climate to create a healthier, more resilient lawn.

Our design process begins with understanding your vision, site conditions, and ecological goals. Drawing on Elisabeth's background in landscape architecture and biodiversity, we prioritize native plant species that thrive in Delaware, supporting local wildlife and requiring less water and maintenance. The plan integrates functional elements like patios or pergolas with planting schemes for year-round interest. We handle everything from concept to construction, ensuring a cohesive landscape that's both beautiful and beneficial to the local ecosystem.

Absolutely. We offer full-cycle care, from selecting and planting the right native trees and shrubs for your site to ongoing health management. Our services include structural pruning to promote strong growth, disease diagnosis and treatment, and even transplanting if a plant is in the wrong spot. For new installations, we ensure proper planting techniques and follow-up care to give your greenery the best start, helping your Newark landscape mature beautifully and sustainably.
