Questions and Answers
What's the first sign my St. Louis yard has soil compaction, and how do you fix it?
Common signs in our area include water pooling after rain, thinning grass, and difficulty pushing a shovel into the soil. Fairgrounds Landscaping addresses this with core aeration, which removes small plugs of soil to relieve compaction, improve water infiltration, and allow air and nutrients to reach grassroots—a crucial service for our dense clay soils.
Why do my shrubs keep dying, and what are better options for St. Louis?
Many non-native shrubs struggle with our humidity, temperature swings, and soil. We diagnose issues like poor drainage or disease, then often recommend replacing them with hardy, native species like Oakleaf Hydrangea or Virginia Sweetspire. These plants are adapted to our local conditions, requiring less water and care while providing year-round beauty.
How can I prepare my landscape for a St. Louis summer to prevent stress and damage?
Proactive care is key. Our team focuses on building landscape resilience through proper mulching to retain moisture and regulate soil temperature, installing efficient drip irrigation for targeted watering, and performing a spring health assessment to address any weaknesses before the summer heat arrives, ensuring your yard stays healthy and vibrant.
