Common Questions
Can you fix my lawn that's been damaged by tree roots?
Absolutely. We address root-damaged lawns in DeKalb with a comprehensive approach. First, our tree care services can safely trim or remove problematic roots and perform stump removal. Then, we repair any damaged walkways or retaining walls and re-grade the soil. Finally, we install new sod or seed and design a landscape plan with appropriate plants to prevent future issues, giving you a healthy, stable lawn.
What's the best way to prevent erosion and dead spots in my yard?
For DeKalb yards prone to erosion and dead patches, we often recommend installing a retaining wall. This is a durable masonry solution that holds back soil, manages water runoff, and creates level areas for healthy grass or gardens. Combined with proper landscape design and drainage solutions during patio or walkway construction, a retaining wall is a long-term fix that protects your property's value and curb appeal.
My fence is leaning because of soft, wet ground. Can you repair it?
Yes, this is a common issue we handle. We go beyond a simple fence repair. First, we assess the cause, often related to poor drainage or root systems. We may need to repair or install a proper base, weatherproof the new posts, and ensure the gate hardware functions correctly. For a permanent solution, we can integrate the fence with landscape grading or a retaining wall to ensure your new fence stays straight and secure for years.
