Inside Out Services - Spencer's Qualified Landscaping

Great question! While it might seem unrelated, skilled carpentry is key to solving underlying drainage issues. We can build or repair raised garden beds, decks on proper footings, and retaining walls. These structures help manage water runoff, prevent soil erosion around your foundation, and create defined areas that reduce foot traffic on your lawn—all of which combat the soil compaction and poor drainage that cause dead spots.

The first step is always a local assessment. We'll examine your yard's grading, look for drainage issues common in our area, and check the soil. Often, dead patches are a symptom, not the cause. We then create a plan that may combine carpentry—like adjusting a deck's layout to improve water flow—with core aeration and overseeding. This integrated approach ensures a long-term solution, not just a temporary fix.

Absolutely. As a full-service contractor, this is exactly what we do best. We'll expertly install your new patio or deck, ensuring proper construction to avoid future settling or drainage problems. Then, we'll seamlessly address the surrounding landscaped areas by aerating compacted soil, grading for proper runoff away from your home, and re-sodding or seeding any damaged lawn. You get one coordinated project with a beautiful, functional, and healthy result.
