Question Answers
My Edwardsville lawn has bare patches and moss. What's causing this and how can you help?
In our area, moss and bare patches often indicate issues with soil compaction, drainage, or pH imbalance, which are common in local soil conditions. We start with a site analysis to diagnose the specific cause. Our approach may include core aeration to relieve compaction, soil amendments to correct pH, and overseeding with grass varieties suited to our climate. For moss, we address the underlying moisture and shade conditions while carefully removing it. Our goal is to create a healthier lawn environment that naturally resists these problems.
What's involved in your landscape design and building process for a new patio or retaining wall?
Our process begins with understanding your vision and the practical needs of your Edwardsville property. For hardscaping projects like patios or retaining walls, our design services include detailed planning for proper drainage and material selection that complements our local environment. The 'landscaping building design' phase ensures structural integrity, especially important for managing the grade changes common in our region. We handle the entire project from concept to completion, focusing on craftsmanship and longevity, so your new outdoor space is both beautiful and functional for years.
How do you care for shrubs to prevent common diseases and insect problems here?
Proactive care is key. Our shrub maintenance program includes seasonal pruning to promote good air circulation, which helps prevent fungal diseases prevalent in our humid summers. We monitor for local insect pests and use targeted, responsible management strategies when needed, prioritizing plant health and environmental safety. This service can also include deep-root fertilization and mulch renewal to keep shrubs vigorous and better able to resist stress. For existing issues, our disease and insect management services provide a direct treatment plan to restore plant health.
