FAQs
How can I fix dry spots in my Boston lawn caused by poor sprinkler coverage?
Dry patches often stem from inefficient irrigation design. At James Sheehan Landscaping, we perform a detailed audit of your existing system and design a custom irrigation plan. This ensures even water distribution to eliminate coverage gaps, conserve water, and promote a uniformly healthy lawn, which is crucial for our local soil types.
My yard has poor drainage and water pools after rain. What landscaping solutions do you offer?
Poor lawn grading is a common issue in many Boston neighborhoods. Our landscape design and building services include expert regrading to create proper slope and redirect water away from your home's foundation. We can integrate solutions like French drains or swales into a new greenscape design to solve pooling and protect your property long-term.
Can you help maintain the health of my shrubs, which seem stressed in my poorly draining yard?
Absolutely. Shrubs in waterlogged soil are prone to disease and insect issues. Our comprehensive shrub care starts with an assessment of your site's conditions. We provide disease and insect management, and if needed, we can transplant shrubs to better-drained areas as part of a broader landscape redesign that addresses the root cause—your yard's grading and drainage.
