Frequently Asked Questions
What's the best way to fix bare patches in my Portland lawn?
For bare patches, we recommend a combination of core aeration to relieve soil compaction—a common issue here—followed by overseeding with a Pacific Northwest-appropriate grass blend. This addresses the root cause and promotes thick, healthy regrowth that can handle our seasonal shifts.
My shrubs look sickly; what could be wrong?
In Portland's damp climate, shrubs are often affected by fungal diseases or pests like aphids. Our disease and insect management service starts with a precise diagnosis. We then apply targeted, environmentally responsible treatments and can follow up with proper pruning or transplanting to improve plant health and air circulation.
Can you help with compacted soil in my garden beds?
Absolutely. Soil compaction stifles plant roots and water absorption. As part of our gardening and landscape maintenance, we use techniques like deep-tilling for beds and vertical mulching around trees and shrubs. We also advise on adding organic matter to improve soil structure long-term, which is key for healthy plant growth in our region.
