Experienced Landscaping Services in Katonah, NY 10536 - Ferdy’s Landscaping

We use careful plowing and snow-blowing techniques to avoid piling heavy, salt-laden snow directly onto planting beds and shrub bases. This prevents breakage and minimizes soil compaction from equipment weight. We also strategically place snow piles to protect your landscape's health throughout the winter.

Absolutely. We often see compacted soil in Katonah, which restricts root growth and water absorption, leading to stressed or dying shrubs. Our team can perform a simple soil assessment, checking for hardness and poor drainage. Solutions may include core aeration, root zone fertilization, and replacing affected plants with more resilient varieties suited to our local conditions.

Yes, addressing soil compaction is a key part of our landscaping services. For lawns, we perform core aeration, which removes small plugs of soil to allow air, water, and nutrients to reach the roots. For planting beds, we use specialized tools to gently loosen soil without damaging existing plant roots, and we can amend the soil with compost to improve its structure and health.
