Emergency Landscapers in Rutland, VT 05701 - Melen and Sons

Poor drainage is a common local issue, often caused by soil compaction or improper grading. We start with an excavation assessment to identify the problem areas. Solutions can include trench digging for French drains, regrading your landscape, or installing retaining walls to manage water flow and prevent erosion. Proper drainage is the foundation of a healthy, usable yard, protecting your home's foundation and landscaping investments.

Soil compaction restricts root growth and water absorption, a frequent problem in our area. Our process includes core aeration for lawns, specialized tilling during landscape installation to break up hardpan, and amending soil with organic matter when planting shrubs or trees. For severe cases, our excavation equipment can carefully till deeper soil layers. We then recommend a maintenance plan, including proper irrigation and care, to keep your soil healthy long-term.
