Green Monster - Bloomington's Certified Landscapers

Compacted soil prevents water and nutrients from reaching plant roots, a common issue in Bloomington. A properly installed patio or retaining wall from Green Monster includes crucial site work like grading and soil aeration around the project area. This improves drainage and alleviates compaction. Furthermore, a retaining wall can create terraced planting beds with fresh, uncompacted soil, giving your plants a healthy new environment to thrive in.

Our landscape construction goes beyond just planting. For Bloomington homeowners, we start by assessing soil health and drainage—key factors in plant survival. The service often includes grading to direct water away from your home, installing sub-surface drainage if needed, amending the native soil, and then building the hardscape and softscape elements. This comprehensive approach ensures your new landscape is built on a solid foundation, directly addressing local issues like water runoff and soil compaction from the ground up.

Absolutely. We frequently see cracked walkways in Bloomington that trap water and contribute to soil problems nearby. Our masonry repair service fixes the walkway, but we also look at the bigger picture. We'll regrade the adjacent soil to improve drainage, address any root damage from nearby trees (using our tree care expertise), and can even redesign the bordering landscape beds with better soil and plants suited to the corrected environment. It's a holistic fix for both the hardscape and the plant life.
