Old Dominion Grounds Maintenance - Glen Allen's Reliable Landscaping Services

Dying shrubs in our area are often a symptom of stressed roots due to soil compaction or disease. Our clay-heavy soils can compact, suffocating roots and preventing proper drainage. We'll perform a diagnostic visit to check for compaction, signs of fungal disease common in Virginia's humidity, or improper planting depth. Solutions may include core aeration to improve the soil environment, targeted treatments, or expert pruning to encourage recovery.

Aeration is a key solution for our local soil compaction. Using a core aerator, we remove small plugs of soil from your lawn. This process creates channels for air, water, and nutrients to reach grass roots directly, alleviating the pressure caused by dense clay. For Glen Allen lawns, regular aeration reduces runoff, enhances drought resistance, and creates a healthier foundation for your turf and landscape plants to thrive.

Our service starts with an assessment to determine if a shrub can be saved through pruning, soil amendment, and care. If replacement is needed, we handle the entire process: removing the old plant, preparing the site with amended soil to combat local compaction, and installing a new, healthy shrub suited for Glen Allen's climate. We ensure proper planting techniques and provide follow-up care instructions to give your new landscaping the best start.
