Landscaping Summit NJ | Call Mava Landscape Management

We start with a site evaluation to identify the cause, often related to soil compaction or improper grading common in our area. Solutions include regrading to direct water away, installing subsurface French drains, or creating rain gardens to absorb excess moisture, effectively solving the problem at its source.

For surface roots, we carefully prune them to alleviate pressure without harming the tree's health. We then level the area with topsoil and reseed or re-sod with shade-tolerant grass blends suited for Summit. For severe cases, we may recommend transitioning the area to a mulch bed or permeable patio to create a durable, low-maintenance solution.

Absolutely. Our proactive approach includes designing landscapes with proper plant placement to manage water runoff and selecting tree species with less aggressive root systems for Summit's conditions. We also implement regular aeration and soil amendments to improve absorption and root health, preventing problems before they start.
