Landscaping Hermantown MN | Call Quality Plus Landscaping

In Hermantown, poor drainage is often due to our region's heavy clay soil, which doesn't absorb water well, combined with improper grading. This leads to standing water, soggy lawns, and potential foundation issues. We fix this by first assessing your yard's specific grade and water flow. Solutions can include installing French drains, catch basins, or regrading the land to create a gentle slope that channels water away from your home and into appropriate runoff areas, protecting your property's foundation and landscape.

Plastic or vinyl edging often fails in our climate due to freeze-thaw cycles, which cause the ground to heave, and from damage during lawn mowing or snow removal. For a lasting solution in Hermantown, we recommend and install heavy-duty steel or aluminum edging. These materials are incredibly durable, resist corrosion, and maintain their shape despite ground movement. We secure them properly to create a clean, permanent border that defines your garden beds and walkways for years to come, saving you from annual repairs.

Absolutely. In fact, addressing drainage and edging together is a smart, efficient approach for many Hermantown homes. We can design a comprehensive plan where new drainage systems, like a French drain along a wet property line, are installed first. Then, we'll add robust edging that not only looks great but can also help direct surface water flow. This coordinated project ensures both systems work in harmony, solving your water issues while giving your landscape a crisp, professional finish that enhances curb appeal and functionality.
