Q&A
What's your process for handling soil compaction and tree root damage in Pontiac lawns?
These are very common issues in our area due to the local soil conditions and mature trees. For soil compaction, we use core aeration to relieve pressure and allow water, air, and nutrients to reach the grass roots. For surface roots causing lawn damage, we have a few expert solutions. We can carefully regrade and add a thin layer of topsoil with new sod or seed over the affected area, or we can design a creative landscaping bed around the roots to integrate them into your garden. Our approach is always to preserve tree health while restoring the usability and beauty of your lawn.
Do you handle both the design and construction of landscaping projects?
Yes, we provide a complete, start-to-finish service. Our team includes skilled landscape designers who will work with you to create a custom plan that fits your vision and property. Once the design is finalized, our same dedicated construction crew handles the installation. This seamless process ensures the final result matches the plan exactly and allows for clear communication throughout your project. From irrigation design and hardscaping to shrub planting and final grading, we manage all the details.
What kind of ongoing shrub and lawn care do you offer?
We offer comprehensive maintenance to keep your investment looking its best year-round. For shrubs, this includes seasonal pruning and trimming, proactive disease and insect management, fertilization, and even transplanting or removal if needed. For lawns, we provide regular mowing, edging, fertilization, and aeration. Our maintenance programs are tailored to the specific needs of plants in our Michigan climate, helping them thrive and preventing small issues from becoming big problems.
