Jar Services | Licensed Landscaping in Rockville, MD

In Rockville, common causes include clay-heavy soil, improper grading from construction, and clogged or insufficient drainage systems. Jar Services fixes these by first conducting a thorough site assessment. We then implement solutions like regrading your yard to direct water away from your home, installing French drains or dry wells to capture and redirect subsurface water, and creating rain gardens or swales that manage runoff naturally and beautifully.

Absolutely. Dying shrubs in Rockville can result from poor drainage (root rot), incorrect planting depth, pest infestations, disease, or improper pruning. Our experts will diagnose the exact cause by examining the plant, soil, and site conditions. Depending on the issue, we can provide treatments, recommend soil amendments, perform corrective pruning, or, if necessary, replace them with healthier, locally-adapted plants that will thrive in your specific yard.

Proper drainage is foundational to a healthy landscape. By solving drainage issues, we prevent water from pooling around plant roots, which causes rot and fungal diseases—a key reason shrubs die. Good drainage ensures water infiltrates the soil evenly, delivering moisture and oxygen to roots where it's needed. This creates a stable, healthy environment for your entire landscape, leading to lusher lawns, more vibrant plants, and reduced long-term maintenance.
