Landscaping Services Bolingbrook IL | Call Proa Landscaping

Great question! Bolingbrook's clay-heavy soil is prone to compaction, which prevents water, air, and nutrients from reaching shrub roots. Our services directly combat this. During shrub planting and transplanting, we properly amend the soil to improve structure and drainage. Our routine shrub care, including aeration around root zones during maintenance, helps alleviate compaction over time. Healthier, well-maintained shrubs also develop root systems that naturally help break up soil, creating a more resilient landscape.

Absolutely. Sprinkler leaks are a frequent issue here and are a major contributor to shrub diseases. Consistent over-watering from a leak creates perpetually damp conditions that fungal diseases thrive in. It also stresses the plant, making it more vulnerable. Our disease management service starts with a full inspection, where we'll identify signs of both the disease and potential irrigation problems like leaks or poor drainage. We treat the immediate disease and provide expert advice on fixing the water issue to prevent it from coming back.

Compacted soil weakens your shrubs by stressing their root systems. A stressed plant is like a beacon to insects, as it can't defend itself as effectively. Pests like borers or scale insects are more likely to attack a struggling shrub. Our insect management program is proactive. We don't just treat visible pests; we aim to improve the overall health of your shrubs through proper pruning, feeding, and soil care. A healthier shrub in better soil is naturally more resistant to insect infestations, saving you time and money on treatments in the long run.
