Q&A
How can Haight help fix standing water issues in my McMinnville yard?
Standing water often stems from poor drainage and compacted soil common in our area. We address this through professional landscape construction and greenscape installation. Our services include regrading to direct water flow, installing French drains or dry creek beds, and core aeration to alleviate soil compaction. We can also recommend and plant native, water-tolerant shrubs and trees to help absorb excess moisture and improve your yard's overall health.
My shrubs are struggling; could compacted soil be the cause?
Absolutely. Soil compaction in the Willamette Valley restricts root growth, water penetration, and nutrient uptake, leading to stressed, unhealthy shrubs. Our shrub care program includes diagnosing the issue, providing soil aeration services, and implementing proper planting or transplanting techniques with amended soil. We also offer disease and insect management specifically for shrubs, as compacted plants are more susceptible to these problems.
We have a wet spot where a tree died. Can you remove it and fix the area?
Yes, we handle the entire process. Our team can safely perform the tree removal and stump removal in that problematic area. Following that, we assess the cause of the wet spot—often related to the old root system or soil composition—and provide solutions. This might include regrading, improving drainage through landscape construction, and planting a new tree species better suited for the moist conditions, turning a problem area into a landscape asset.
