Common Questions
Can poor lawn grading in Cary really cause my shrubs to die?
Absolutely. In our Cary clay soils, improper grading is a leading cause of shrub decline. When water pools around foundations and plant beds instead of draining away, it leads to root rot, fungal diseases, and suffocates plants. M and M addresses this by first correcting the lawn's slope and drainage with regrading or installing French drains, then assessing and treating any existing shrub damage or disease to restore your landscape's health.
What's the best type of retaining wall for fixing a sloped, eroding yard in Cary?
For most Cary homes dealing with erosion or tiered slopes, segmental retaining wall blocks are an excellent, durable choice. They provide the structural strength needed to hold back soil, prevent further washouts, and create usable flat spaces for patios or planting beds. As masonry experts, we ensure proper installation with adequate drainage behind the wall—a critical step often missed—to handle our area's heavy rains and protect your new landscaping investment.
My shrubs are struggling despite regular care. What should I look for?
Persistent shrub problems here often point to issues below the surface. Beyond checking for pests, we recommend a soil test and inspecting the root zone for compaction or waterlogging. Our shrub care services include disease and insect management, but we also focus on long-term health through proper planting techniques, soil amendments tailored to Cary's conditions, and adjusting your irrigation schedule to provide deep, infrequent watering that encourages strong roots and resilience.
