J Starr Gardening - Meridian's Qualified Landscaping

Absolutely. Tree root damage and bare patches are frequent challenges in our area due to soil composition and irrigation patterns. We address this by first assessing the specific tree and root system to ensure any solution doesn't harm the tree's health. For the lawn, we repair damaged areas with soil amendment to improve health and drainage, then overseed with appropriate grass varieties. Often, integrating a creative hardscape solution like a decorative tree ring or a permeable walkway can both protect the tree and create a beautiful, functional landscape feature.

Our construction services cover both the structural and living elements of your outdoor space. We build functional and aesthetic features like patios, porches, retaining walls, and walkways using quality materials suited for our climate. This work is fully integrated with our planting and greenscape design, ensuring new constructions are complemented by appropriate shrubs, trees, and perennials. It's a seamless process from initial design to final installation, handled by our experienced team with over two decades of local knowledge.

Our care is proactive and health-focused, drawing on master gardener training. For shrubs and trees, we start with proper planting, pruning, and soil amendment to build natural resilience. When issues like insects or disease appear, we first identify the specific problem—common ones in the valley include certain blights and borers—and use targeted, often organic, methods for control. We prioritize the long-term health of the plant and the surrounding landscape, which can include strategic pruning, soil health improvements, or careful transplanting if necessary.
