Pine View Landscaping - Strasburg's Certified Landscapers

Our design process specifically addresses this common local issue. We assess tree placement and root systems to plan lawn areas and hardscapes that minimize conflict. Solutions can include creating dedicated root zones with mulch or shade-tolerant ground covers, installing proper root barriers during the design phase, and selecting grass types that are more resilient. This proactive design prevents unsightly bumps and dead patches, saving you from costly repairs later.

Given the local soil conditions and freeze-thaw cycles, we often recommend durable, permanent materials like steel or concrete edging for key areas. These materials resist heaving, cracking, and root invasion far better than plastic or wood. During our design consultation, we'll help you choose the right edging for each part of your landscape, balancing aesthetics with the longevity needed to handle our Pennsylvania climate.

Absolutely. Remedial landscape design is a common service for us. We'll evaluate the damage, identify the underlying causes—like specific tree species or poor drainage—and create a redesign plan. This often involves repairing or replacing damaged edging with more robust solutions, regrading affected lawn areas, and incorporating new design elements like flower beds or patios that work around the root systems to create a beautiful, low-maintenance solution.
