First Choice Landscaping - Port Orchard's Expert Landscapers

In our area, dying shrubs are often caused by poor drainage or soil compaction, not lack of water. Port Orchard's clay-heavy soil can hold too much moisture, leading to root rot. Our team assesses your soil health and drainage patterns to recommend solutions like soil aeration, amending, or proper plant selection for wet conditions.

The most frequent issue we see is surface water pooling due to compacted soil and improper grading. Over time, soil settles and directs water toward your home's foundation or low spots in the yard. We correct this by re-grading the landscape, installing French drains, or creating dry creek beds to channel water safely away.

Absolutely. We start by evaluating how water flows across your property. Solutions can include creating raised planting beds for sensitive shrubs, installing channel drains in problem areas, or using water-tolerant native plants in naturally wet spots. Our goal is to protect your investment in your landscape.
