Questions and Answers

Can poor lawn grading in Basye damage my trees and shrubs?

Yes, absolutely. Poor grading that causes water to pool can lead to root rot in trees and shrubs, while areas that drain too quickly can leave them stressed. At Howler Tree Care, our landscape construction and tree care services work together. We can regrade your property to correct drainage issues and provide targeted shrub care and disease management to help your existing plants recover and thrive.

What's the best way to fix dead lawn areas and improve my landscape?

For lasting results, it's best to address the underlying cause. We start by assessing your soil and drainage. Our landscape installation service can include regrading for proper water flow, followed by installing new sod or seeding. To complete the look and prevent future issues, we expertly plant and maintain shrubs and trees suited for our area, creating a cohesive, healthy landscape that resists dead patches.

Should I remove a tree before fixing lawn grading problems?

Not necessarily. Our process is to evaluate the entire site. Often, we can preserve beautiful, healthy trees through careful grading and root protection during landscape construction. If a tree is unhealthy and contributing to the problem, our certified arborists can advise on whether tree cabling, pruning, or removal is the safest option. We handle everything from stump removal to new tree planting, ensuring your new landscape has a solid foundation.
