Common Questions
What's the proper way to install sod to prevent patchy lawns in our Athens climate?
Proper sod installation starts with correcting the soil and grade, which is a common issue we see locally. We prepare the site by tilling and leveling the ground, adding necessary soil amendments, and ensuring proper drainage. We then install fresh, high-quality sod tightly together and water it deeply and consistently. This foundational approach prevents the common problem of poor, patchy installation and helps your lawn establish strong roots to thrive in our local conditions.
Can you help with overgrown shrubs as part of your landscape maintenance?
Absolutely. Our landscape maintenance services in Athens include professional shrub and hedge trimming, pruning, and removal if necessary. For overgrown shrubs, we assess their health and structure, then carefully prune them to promote new growth and restore a manicured look. We can also replace them with more manageable, native plants as part of a larger landscape installation, creating a low-maintenance and attractive yard that enhances your home's curb appeal.
What type of retaining wall is best for managing drainage and erosion in my Athens yard?
For managing the drainage and soil erosion common in our area, we often recommend segmental retaining walls built with interlocking concrete blocks. They are durable, cost-effective, and excellent for creating level planting areas on sloped lots. Whether it's for a new patio, driveway, or simply to reclaim usable yard space, a properly engineered retaining wall from L and K Landscaping will solve erosion issues, improve drainage, and add lasting structure and beauty to your landscape.
