Questions and Answers
Can you fix a lawn that's damaged by tree roots and has poor drainage?
Yes, absolutely. This is a common Baltimore issue we handle regularly. Our process starts with assessing the grading and root system. We then correct the drainage through expert regrading and address the root problem directly. This might involve careful root pruning, installing subsurface barriers to protect your lawn, or, if necessary, professionally transplanting the tree. Finally, we repair the lawn with new soil and sod or seed, ensuring proper drainage and a lush, even surface.
What's involved in your landscape construction for correcting drainage problems?
Correcting poor grading is a core part of our landscape construction service. It involves evaluating water flow on your property, excavating and reshaping the soil to create a gentle slope away from your home's foundation, and installing proper sub-base materials. We then integrate this with new lawn installation, patios, or other hardscapes to ensure the entire landscape functions correctly, preventing water damage and pooling common in many Baltimore yards.
If a tree is causing lawn damage, do you recommend removal or another solution?
We always explore preservation first. Complete removal is often a last resort. Our tree care and shrub services offer several solutions. We can perform precise root pruning to mitigate surface damage, install root barriers to direct growth, or expertly transplant the tree to a more suitable location on your property. Combined with our shrub and lawn care expertise, we can solve the damage issue while maintaining your landscape's health and beauty.
