Landscapes By Ben - Virginia Beach's Emergency Landscapers

Shrubs in our area often die due to poor soil conditions, improper planting depth, or inadequate drainage—common issues with our sandy coastal soil and occasional heavy rains. We diagnose the specific cause, which may involve soil testing, and provide solutions like amending the soil, correcting the planting site, or installing proper drainage to give your new plants the best chance to thrive.

Poor grading directs water toward your home's foundation, creates soggy areas that drown grass, and can cause soil erosion. This is a frequent issue here, especially after coastal storms. We correct lawn grading to ensure water flows safely away from your home and into appropriate drainage areas, protecting your property's structure and creating a healthier, drier lawn.

The first step is a professional site evaluation. We'll assess your yard's slope, identify where water pools, and check for issues contributing to dying plants. Based on this, we'll recommend a tailored plan, which may include regrading, installing French drains or channel drains, or combining solutions to effectively manage water and solve the root of the problem.
