Common Questions
My yard in Medford has standing water after it rains. What's the first step to fix it?
The first step is a professional site assessment. We'll identify the cause, which in our area is often compacted clay soil or improper grading. Based on our findings, we typically recommend solutions like core aeration to improve soil drainage, strategic regrading to direct water away from your home, or installing a discreet French drain system to channel water effectively.
Why are my shrubs dying even though I water them?
In Medford, overwatering in heavy soil can be as harmful as underwatering. Dying shrubs often suffer from root rot due to poor drainage or soil that's suffocating the roots. We'll test your soil, check for proper drainage, and evaluate your irrigation schedule. Often, the fix involves amending the soil, adjusting your watering routine to our local dry periods, and sometimes replacing plants with varieties better suited to our specific conditions.
Can you prevent these problems before they start in a new landscape?
Absolutely. For new installations or renovations, we focus on foundational practices key to our region. This includes proper soil preparation with amendments to break up clay, designing a landscape with a slight grade for natural runoff, and selecting native or adapted plants that thrive in Southern Oregon with less water and more resilience to local pests and diseases.
