Q&A
How can H L O help fix poor drainage in my Worcester yard?
Poor drainage is a common issue in our area due to soil composition and topography. We offer specific solutions like earthmoving and regrading to create the proper slope away from your home's foundation. We also design and install functional hardscapes, such as retaining walls and permeable patios or walkways, which help manage water flow and prevent pooling that can damage your lawn and landscaping.
What do you do to prevent and treat lawn fungus, which is common around here?
Lawn fungus thrives in the specific climate conditions of Central Massachusetts. Our approach starts with proper irrigation design and maintenance to avoid overwatering, a key contributor. For existing lawns, our detailed lawn care services include disease management strategies. We also offer shrub care with dedicated insect and disease management to ensure your entire landscape is healthy and less susceptible to common local blights.
We want a new patio but are worried about drainage. Can you handle both?
Absolutely. This is a perfect example of how our full-service capability benefits Worcester homeowners. Our process integrates landscape design with practical problem-solving. We can design and construct your new patio or terrace with proper slope and base materials to ensure surface water drains effectively. Often, we combine this with broader regrading or a complementary retaining wall project to solve the underlying drainage issue while creating your beautiful new outdoor living space.
