Certified Landscaping Services in Wheaton, MD 20902 - Francisco’s Landscaping

Absolutely. Dead patches are a common issue in our area, often due to compacted soil, disease, or improper watering. We start with a thorough inspection to diagnose the cause, which may include checking for grubs or fungal issues. Our solution typically involves core aeration to relieve compaction, targeted disease or insect management if needed, and expert overseeding or sod installation with grass varieties suited to Wheaton's climate. We also provide tailored lawn care advice to prevent future problems.

Yes, storm cleanup is a key service we provide for Wheaton homeowners. We safely remove fallen branches and debris from your property. For damaged trees, our certified arborists assess whether the tree can be saved through careful pruning and cabling or if removal is the safest option. We handle the entire process, from safe tree removal and stump grinding to hauling away all debris, leaving your yard clean and secure.

Excellent question. Proper drainage and material choice are critical for longevity here. For patios, we recommend permeable base materials and slight slopes to direct water away from your home. For retaining walls, which are great for managing sloped yards common in Wheaton, we engineer them with proper backfill and drainage cores to handle freeze-thaw cycles. We use durable materials like pavers and segmental wall blocks, and our construction process always includes addressing the underlying soil and water flow to create a lasting, worry-free outdoor space.
