Local Landscaping in Detroit, MI 48227 - J & A Landscaping

We start with a site evaluation to identify the cause of poor drainage, whether it's soil compaction, improper grading, or clogged systems. Our solutions often include installing French drains, regrading soil to direct water away from your home's foundation, or creating dry creek beds. We use methods suited to Southeast Michigan's clay-heavy soil to prevent future pooling and protect your lawn and basement from water damage.

For overgrown shrubs, we assess their health and structure. We can perform rejuvenation pruning to bring them back to a manageable size over a few seasons or complete removal and replacement if they're too damaged or poorly placed. Our goal is to restore shape and health, improving your home's sightlines and curb appeal while ensuring proper growth for Michigan's climate.

Absolutely. Proactive drainage planning is key. Beyond fixing current issues, we can design and install preventative systems like channel drains for driveways, rain gardens to absorb runoff naturally, and ensure your downspouts are effectively diverting water. Our local expertise helps us create a landscape that handles Metro Detroit's storm intensity, keeping your yard drier and more usable.
