FAQs
What's the most effective way to prevent weeds in my Athens mulch beds?
The key is a multi-layered approach. We start by removing existing weeds, then apply a high-quality landscape fabric barrier before installing fresh mulch. For Athens-area soils, we recommend using a thicker layer of shredded hardwood mulch, which naturally suppresses weeds better than pine straw. Regular edging maintenance also prevents grass from creeping in. We can assess your specific beds and provide a lasting solution.
How can poor lawn grading around my home cause problems in North Alabama?
In our North Alabama climate with heavy seasonal rains, improper grading—where soil slopes toward your foundation—is a major concern. It directs water to your home's base, risking basement flooding, crawl space moisture, and even foundational shifting over time. Novalis And Sons corrects this by expertly regrading your lawn to create a gentle slope away from the house, ensuring proper drainage and protecting your biggest investment.
Can you handle a project that involves both landscaping and structural work, like a patio or retaining wall?
Absolutely. As a licensed general contractor and landscaping specialist, we uniquely manage projects that blend hardscaping and softscaping. Whether it's a new patio that requires proper drainage grading or a retaining wall to solve an erosion issue on a sloped Athens yard, we handle all phases—from permits and construction to the final planting and sod—ensuring a seamless, high-quality result from a single, accountable team.
