Landscaping Columbus OH | Call R & R Lawncare & Landscaping

Proper shrub care is a key part of managing water issues. We can transplant moisture-sensitive shrubs to higher ground and replace them with water-tolerant native species. Strategic pruning improves air circulation, reducing the damp conditions that lead to fungal diseases often caused by standing water. It's a proactive approach to landscaping that works with our local environment.

In Columbus, standing water often creates a double problem: it stresses plants, making them vulnerable, and creates a perfect habitat for pests and fungi. Our disease and insect management service starts with a diagnosis to identify the specific issue—whether it's root rot from waterlogged soil or insects breeding in the moisture. We then provide a targeted treatment plan and can advise on long-term solutions like grading adjustments or strategic shrub removal to improve the area's drainage.

Planting correctly is crucial. For areas with poor grading, we often recommend creating a slightly raised bed or berm for new shrubs, which elevates the root zone above standing water. We select shrub varieties known for their tolerance to wet conditions common in Central Ohio. Our shrub planting service includes assessing your yard's specific drainage and using techniques and plants that give your landscape the best chance to thrive, preventing future disease and pest issues.
