Landscaping Staten Island NY | Call Mikes landscaping of Staten island

This is a common Staten Island issue often due to improper base preparation or drainage. We start by assessing the soil and drainage patterns. The fix typically involves removing the rocks, regrading the area with a compacted gravel base for stability, and reinstalling the rocks with proper edging. For long-term results, we may also address any underlying water runoff issues specific to your property's layout.

Dying shrubs here can result from several local factors: compacted Staten Island clay soil limiting root growth, improper watering, disease, or pest infestations common to our area. Our expert diagnosis identifies the precise cause. Treatment may involve soil aeration and amendment, corrective pruning, targeted treatments, or strategic replacement with hardy, native species better suited to our local environment for a resilient landscape.

Proactive, seasonal care is key. We recommend a program that includes spring and fall clean-ups to remove debris that harbors pests, seasonal pruning to promote plant health, mulching to retain moisture and regulate soil temperature, and a soil health check. This consistent, expert maintenance strengthens your plants and hardscaping against common issues, saving you time and money on major repairs down the line.
