Gillespie Lawn Scapes - Prattville's Local Landscaping Services

For overgrown shrubs, we typically recommend a two-step approach. First, we perform a professional rejuvenation pruning to bring them back under control and improve their health. If they're too woody or poorly placed, we can remove them and suggest native, low-maintenance replacements that are better suited to our local climate and won't outgrow their space as quickly.

Stopping erosion often requires stabilizing the soil. We assess the slope and water flow to recommend the right solution, such as installing a retaining wall, creating a dry creek bed to channel runoff, or planting deep-rooted, erosion-control ground covers. These methods are very effective for the clay-rich soils common in the Prattville area.

Absolutely. We often tackle these issues together. We'll start by clearing out overgrown areas, which can sometimes contribute to erosion by blocking proper drainage. Then, we'll regrade or landscape the area with solutions like mulch beds, strategic plantings, or hardscaping to not only look great but also create a stable, low-maintenance landscape that protects your soil.
