Horizon Landscaping Services - Wasilla's Licensed Landscaping

Exposed roots are common here due to soil erosion and frost heave. The best approach is often to carefully add a layer of topsoil and seed with a shade-tolerant grass blend, avoiding piling soil directly against the trunk. For significant exposure or problematic roots near structures, we can assess for root pruning or recommend strategic planting of ground cover to stabilize the area without harming the tree's health.

Yes, absolutely. Irrigation head damage is frequent due to frost heave, lawn mower impact, and our rocky soil. We recommend installing durable, heavy-duty heads and ensuring proper winterization by blowing out the system each fall. For repairs, we can replace damaged heads, adjust lines to avoid high-traffic areas, and ensure your system is efficient and protected against our local conditions.

Definitely. Erosion control is key in the Mat-Su Valley. We address this by installing French drains, creating dry creek beds with local stone, and using terracing or retaining walls on sloped properties. Proper grading and the use of deep-rooted, native plants also help stabilize soil and manage water runoff, protecting your tree roots and foundation from water damage.
