Owen Landscaping - High Point's Best Landscapers

Common signs in our area include water pooling near your foundation after rain, soggy patches in the yard that never fully dry, or soil erosion around walkways. These issues are often due to the compacted clay soil common in High Point. Our team can perform a professional assessment to determine if re-grading or installing a French drain system is needed to protect your home and landscape.

This is a frequent problem in the Triad. Often, it's not the water but the soil. Our dense clay can suffocate roots and prevent proper drainage, leading to root rot. Alternatively, the wrong plant species for our climate may have been installed. We offer soil testing and can recommend native or adapted plants that are more resilient. Solutions may include soil amendment, proper replanting techniques, or installing a new, hardier landscape design.

For major grading and drainage projects, late summer into early fall is often ideal, as the ground is typically drier. For planting or replacing shrubs, early fall is best in High Point. This gives new plants time to establish roots in the cooler, wetter fall and spring seasons before facing our hot, humid summer, giving them a much stronger chance of survival.
