Question Answers
What can Hartwell's do about my patchy lawn in Lapeer?
Patchy grass in our climate often stems from soil compaction, poor nutrition, or thinning. Our Lapeer team starts with a soil analysis and core aeration to relieve compaction. We then implement a tailored plan that may include overseeding with hardy grass varieties, proper fertilization, and adjusting your irrigation system for even coverage. Our lawn care and landscape maintenance services work together to build a thick, resilient turf.
How do you fix a yard with standing water problems?
Standing water can damage lawns and foundations. Our solution begins with assessing your yard's grading during a landscape design consultation. We often correct the issue through strategic landscape construction, like re-grading or installing French drains and dry creek beds (greenscape construction). For lawns, we may recommend aeration and improving soil composition. The goal is to redirect water away from your home and create a healthy, dry yard.
Can you help with my shrubs that are struggling in wet soil?
Absolutely. Shrubs in constantly wet areas are prone to root rot and disease. Our shrub care experts can diagnose the issue and provide disease or insect management if needed. Often, the best long-term solution is shrub transplanting to a better-drained location as part of a broader landscape redesign. We can also recommend and plant water-tolerant native species in problem areas to create a beautiful, low-maintenance greenscape.
