Landscaping Saint Clair Shores MI | Call Organic Matters Landscaping

Standing water is a common issue in our local soil conditions. Our landscape design process starts with a site analysis to identify the problem areas. We then create a custom plan that may include regrading, installing French drains or dry creek beds, and selecting water-loving plants for rain gardens. This not only solves the drainage issue but transforms a soggy spot into a beautiful, functional part of your landscape.

Absolutely. Shifting rock gardens are often caused by improper base preparation and soil erosion. We address this by first ensuring a stable, compacted base and using quality landscape fabric to suppress weeds. For erosion control, we incorporate strategic planting or retaining elements into the design to anchor the soil. This creates a low-maintenance, stable rock garden that will look great for seasons to come.

Proper snow removal is crucial for protecting your landscaping. We use careful techniques to avoid damaging plants, hardscapes, and lawn edges with plows or heavy salt. We prioritize clearing walkways and driveways to prevent ice buildup that can heave pavers and damage delicate plant roots near foundations. Our service helps ensure the landscape we design for you remains healthy and intact through the winter months.
