Manning Landscapes - Everett's Certified Landscapers

We first assess the cause, which is often frost heave or soil erosion common in our area. We then remove the damaged section, properly prepare and level the ground, and reinstall or replace the edging with durable, flexible materials designed to withstand Everett's freeze-thaw cycles. Proper installation and secure anchoring are key to preventing repeat issues.

Absolutely. For surface roots causing trip hazards and dead patches, we offer professional-grade solutions like careful root pruning (following arborist best practices), followed by topdressing and overseeding with shade-tolerant grass blends. In severe cases, we may recommend converting the area to a mulch bed or installing a permeable root bridge, preserving both your tree's health and your lawn's appearance.

For longevity in Everett, we recommend flexible, polymer-based edging or heavy-duty steel edging. These materials can flex slightly with ground movement, resist rot, and hold their shape better than plastic or wood against our wet winters. The correct choice depends on your specific soil, the landscape design, and whether the area is prone to standing water.
