Question Answers

My Detroit lawn has large, bumpy roots surfacing from a tree. Can you fix this without harming the tree?

Absolutely. We specialize in resolving tree root damage common in Metro Detroit. Our approach often involves carefully grading the lawn over the roots and adding a fresh layer of topsoil and sod to create a smooth, safe surface. For severe cases, we can install specialized root barriers to redirect growth. We always prioritize the tree's health, using techniques that protect its root system while eliminating the tripping hazard and improving your lawn's appearance.

Water pools in my backyard after it rains, causing a muddy mess. How can you help with drainage?

Poor drainage and grading are frequent issues in our area. We start by assessing the slope of your yard to identify the problem. Our solution typically involves expert regrading to create the proper slope away from your home's foundation and towards a suitable drainage point. We may also install French drains or dry creek beds to channel water effectively. This stops the pooling, protects your foundation, and gives you a usable, dry lawn all season long.

What's the best way to prevent these landscaping problems from coming back in Michigan's climate?

Prevention starts with proper installation and maintenance. For grading, we ensure the final slope is adequate to handle our heavy spring rains and snow melt. Regarding tree roots, selecting the right tree species for your space and implementing proactive root guidance during planting can prevent future issues. We provide tailored advice on lawn care, aeration, and tree health specific to Detroit's soil to help you maintain a resilient and problem-free landscape year after year.
