Landscapers Fort Lauderdale FL | Call J&R Landscaping and Lawn Care

Great question! In our area, poor drainage and soil movement often warp or break landscape edging. When we build a playground, we start by properly grading the site and installing a stable base material. This critical step controls water runoff and soil erosion around the play area's perimeter. By managing these forces, we protect the surrounding landscape edging from being undermined or displaced, saving you from costly repairs down the line.

Absolutely. Choosing the right surfacing is key. Organic materials like certain mulches can retain excess moisture, creating a damp environment where fungus thrives. We recommend and install proper, breathable safety surfaces like engineered wood fiber or rubber mulch designed for drainage. This reduces standing moisture around the play area, helping to prevent fungus from spreading to your adjacent lawn, keeping the whole yard healthier.

It's wise to address it first, and we can help with that. A fungal infection indicates an imbalance in your lawn's health, often related to moisture. We recommend treating the fungus as part of our site preparation. Our team can apply appropriate treatments and adjust the lawn's care regimen to resolve the issue before construction begins. This ensures your new playground is built on a stable, disease-free foundation, protecting your investment from the start.
