Lafleur Landscape & Design: Certified Landscaping Serving Marshall, MI 49068

We start with a thorough site evaluation to identify where water is pooling or flowing incorrectly. Common solutions we use for Marshall properties include regrading to create proper slope away from your home, installing French drains to collect and redirect subsurface water, and creating rain gardens or dry creek beds that manage runoff while adding natural beauty. Our goal is a permanent fix that protects your foundation and creates a usable, dry lawn.

Absolutely. Hard, compacted soil is a frequent issue in our area due to heavy clay content and foot traffic. Our core aeration service is a key first step—it removes small plugs of soil to allow air, water, and nutrients to reach grass roots deeply. We often follow this with top-dressing using quality compost or loam to improve soil structure over time, creating a healthy foundation for lush turf and vibrant plantings.

Yes, this is a specialty of ours. We believe problem-solving can be beautiful. For instance, a drainage swale can be transformed into a decorative dry stream bed with stones and native plants. A necessary French drain can be discreetly hidden within a new garden bed or paver patio. We design holistic landscapes that address Marshall's wet soil conditions while giving you an attractive, low-maintenance outdoor living space you'll enjoy for years.
