Questions and Answers

What can be done about tree roots causing bumps and dead patches in my Clarkston lawn?

We offer targeted solutions for tree root damage, which is common here. Options include strategic root pruning (without harming the tree's health), regrading and re-sodding affected areas, or creating functional, attractive features like mulch beds or shallow-rooted ground cover around the tree base. We assess each situation to provide the most effective and aesthetically pleasing fix for your yard.

How do you fix yard drainage problems in our local soil conditions?

Clarkston's clay-heavy soil often leads to poor drainage. We first diagnose the water flow on your property. Solutions can range from regrading and installing French drains or dry wells to creating rain gardens or swales that redirect water naturally. Our goal is to move water away from your home's foundation and eliminate soggy, unusable areas in your yard with a system built for our local environment.

Can you handle both the drainage issue and the landscaping repair in one project?

Absolutely. We frequently manage comprehensive projects where we first resolve the underlying drainage problem—like installing a subsurface drain—and then restore the landscape above it. This might involve laying new sod, planting water-tolerant species, or installing hardscapes like a new patio or pathway. We coordinate the entire process to ensure a seamless, durable, and beautiful final result for your Clarkston home.
