Questions and Answers

Why do rock gardens in Detroit shift and how can you fix it?

In Detroit, shifting is often caused by our heavy clay soil expanding and contracting with freeze-thaw cycles, or improper initial installation. We fix it by excavating the area, installing a proper gravel base for drainage and stability, and resetting the stones with locking techniques to prevent future movement.

What's the best way to repair dead patches in my Detroit lawn?

Dead patches here are usually from compacted soil, drought stress, or disease. Our most effective repair involves core aeration to relieve compaction, followed by top-dressing with quality soil and overseeding with hardy, Michigan-appropriate grass varieties to create a thick, resilient lawn.

As a Detroit homeowner, how can I prevent these landscaping issues in the future?

Proactive care is key. For rock gardens, ensure proper edging and base installation from the start. For lawns, a consistent schedule of spring/fall aeration, proper mowing height, and deep, infrequent watering will build root strength to handle our climate. We offer annual maintenance plans to keep your yard looking great.
