Questions and Answers
How do you fix shifting rock gardens common in Schenectady?
We address shifting rock gardens by first assessing the underlying cause, such as soil erosion or improper installation. Our team then repositions and secures the rocks using proper edging and base materials, often adding drainage solutions to prevent future movement. This stabilizes your garden and maintains its aesthetic appeal.
What's your approach to managing overgrown shrubs in local yards?
For overgrown shrubs, we offer professional trimming, shaping, or removal services based on your needs. We carefully prune to promote healthy growth and improve appearance, or if necessary, remove and replace them with low-maintenance options suited to Schenectady's climate, helping keep your landscape tidy and manageable.
Can you handle both landscaping and construction for property issues?
Yes, as a combined construction and landscaping company, we provide integrated services. For example, if shifting rocks or overgrowth have caused structural concerns, we can repair hardscapes, install retaining walls, or rebuild affected areas, offering a seamless solution to protect and enhance your property.
