Frequently Asked Questions
Can you handle both the excavation and final landscaping for a new patio or driveway in Duluth?
Yes, absolutely. As a full-service contractor, Peterson Excavating & Landscaping manages the entire process. We start with proper site preparation and excavation, ensuring a stable base that handles freeze-thaw cycles. Then, we construct and install the hardscape—be it a paver patio, concrete driveway, or stone walkway—followed by any surrounding landscape design, irrigation, or greenscaping. This seamless approach from start to finish is a key benefit of our over 20 years of local experience.
My Duluth lawn has bare patches and I'm concerned about fungus. Can you help?
We frequently address these common Northland lawn issues. Bare patches often stem from poor soil, compaction, or drainage problems left from construction. Our process starts with diagnosing the root cause. We may aerate, improve the soil, and regrade for better drainage. For fungus-prone areas, we focus on creating a healthier lawn environment through proper grading, selecting resistant grass varieties suited to our climate, and designing irrigation systems that avoid over-watering. It's about building a resilient landscape from the ground up.
Do you offer design services for landscaping projects, or just the construction?
We provide integrated landscape design and construction. Our design service considers your vision, the practicalities of your Duluth property, and how you'll use the space year-round. We then execute that plan, handling all the construction—from retaining walls and exterior features to planting and irrigation installation. This ensures the final result is both aesthetically pleasing and functionally sound, built with the quality and durability our local weather demands.
