Q&A
How do you handle common tree root damage to lawns in Elkins Park?
In Elkins Park, surface tree roots can create uneven, damaged lawns. We address this by first assessing the tree's health. For healthy trees, we can carefully grade the area and install a permeable, attractive ground cover like mulch or creeping thyme that tolerates root competition, eliminating the need for grass. If removal is necessary, we provide expert shrub and tree transplanting services to relocate the plant, followed by soil amendment and re-sodding or seeding to restore a lush, level lawn.
What is included in your 'foodscape' design and construction service?
Our foodscape service is a full-cycle approach to creating an edible landscape. It begins with a design consultation to understand your vision and site conditions. We then handle the construction, which can include building raised beds, installing efficient irrigation systems, planting fruit trees and shrubs, and constructing functional elements like arbors for climbing vegetables. We focus on creating a cohesive, beautiful outdoor space that provides fresh food, supports local ecology, and fits seamlessly into your Elkins Park property.
Do you offer ongoing maintenance for the landscapes you install?
Yes, we provide comprehensive landscape maintenance to keep your foodscape healthy and productive. This includes seasonal shrub and tree care like pruning and disease management, routine landscape upkeep, and monitoring irrigation systems for efficiency and leaks—a common issue in our area. Our all-electric mowing service is also available for lawn areas. We tailor a maintenance plan to ensure your investment continues to thrive with minimal hassle for you.
