Q&A

How does Merrill Landscape Services handle common local issues like moss and standing water in Champaign yards?

In Champaign, where moss and standing water are frequent due to soil composition and drainage patterns, we address these issues with targeted solutions. For moss, we assess soil health and sunlight exposure, often recommending aeration and proper fertilization to promote stronger grass growth. For standing water, we use earthmoving and regrading techniques to improve yard drainage, which can include installing French drains or adjusting the landscape slope. Our goal is to create a healthier, more functional outdoor space that withstands local conditions.

Can you handle both design and construction for projects like patios or retaining walls?

Yes, we offer a seamless process from design to installation. John Reed, our Design & Sales Executive with a horticulture background and years of local experience, works directly with clients to create customized plans. Our team then handles the construction, whether it's a patio, retaining wall, or walkway, ensuring the final build matches the vision. This integrated approach, backed by over 35 years of combined experience, allows for efficient project management and quality results tailored to your property.

What does your full-service maintenance include for shrubs and trees in the Champaign area?

Our full-service maintenance covers comprehensive care for shrubs and trees, tailored to Central Illinois's climate. This includes seasonal pruning and trimming to promote healthy growth, disease and insect management using environmentally responsible methods, and planting or transplanting services. We also provide removal and stump grinding as needed. Combined with our lawn care and irrigation services, this ensures your entire landscape remains vibrant and well-maintained year-round, with the flexibility to address specific issues as they arise.
