Questions and Answers
Why are my shrubs dying in Alexandria, and what can Leo Landscaping do?
Shrubs in Alexandria often struggle due to compacted clay soil, improper watering, or disease. We start with a soil test and health assessment to diagnose the specific issue. Our solutions may include deep-root fertilization, proper pruning techniques, or installing better drainage to ensure your shrubs get the nutrients and care they need to thrive in our local conditions.
How do you treat moss in my lawn, and will it come back?
Moss indicates poor drainage, soil compaction, or low soil pH—common issues in our area. We treat it by aerating the lawn to improve drainage, applying pH-balancing lime, and overseeding with shade-tolerant grass varieties. Our goal is to create an environment where grass outcompetes moss, providing a long-term solution to keep your Alexandria lawn lush and green.
What's a common landscaping mistake you see in Alexandria that I should avoid?
A frequent mistake is overwatering or shallow watering, which weakens grass roots and encourages moss. We advise deep, infrequent watering to promote strong root systems. Another is planting sun-loving shrubs in shady yards. We help you choose the right plants for your specific Alexandria property's light and soil conditions to prevent future issues.
