Brownstown Township Landscaping | Rock Garden & Shrub Care | Flateau-Davis

We start by assessing the underlying soil and drainage, which are often the culprits. Our process involves carefully removing the rocks, re-grading and compacting the base for stability, and often adding a landscape fabric barrier before resetting the stones. This creates a durable foundation that prevents future shifting and keeps your rock garden looking neat for seasons to come.

For overgrown shrubs, we recommend a method called renewal pruning. Instead of just shearing the tops, we strategically remove the oldest, thickest stems at ground level over several seasons. This encourages healthy new growth from the base, improves the plant's shape and health, and gives you long-term control without the 'chopped' look. It's a service we frequently perform for Brownstown Township homes.

Absolutely. We can design and install landscapes using native plants and proper hardscaping techniques that are naturally more resistant to shifting and overgrowth. This includes selecting the right plants for the right spots, installing secure edging and bases for rock features, and creating a maintenance plan to keep everything manageable, saving you time and hassle down the road.
