Gibson Property Services: Qualified Landscaping Serving Bellmawr, NJ 08031

We correct poor grading by carefully evaluating the water flow on your property and using specialized equipment to re-grade the soil. This process creates a gentle slope away from your home's foundation, directing rainwater to proper drainage areas. This prevents water pooling, protects your foundation from moisture damage, and eliminates muddy, soggy spots in your lawn—common issues in our local soil conditions.

For surface roots causing tripping hazards and killing grass, we offer professional root pruning and barrier installation. We then repair the lawn by leveling the area with topsoil and reseeding with shade-tolerant grass blends suited for our region. For severe cases, we can discuss strategic tree management options to preserve tree health while restoring a safe, even lawn surface.

Proactive maintenance is key. We recommend annual grading checks, especially after heavy rains common to our area, and installing proper landscape drainage like French drains in low spots. For trees, regular deep-root fertilization promotes healthier root growth downward, and applying a layer of mulch around the base (without touching the trunk) helps regulate soil moisture and temperature to discourage surface roots.
