Robb Landscaping | Certified Landscapers in Santa Rosa, CA

This is a very common issue here due to our local soil composition. We start with a thorough site assessment to identify the source of the poor drainage. Our solutions often include strategic re-grading to direct water away from your home, installing subsurface French drains to channel water underground, or creating attractive, functional dry creek beds that manage runoff while adding natural beauty to your landscape.

Compacted soil prevents water, air, and nutrients from reaching plant roots, leading to thin lawns, stressed trees, and poor growth. For Santa Rosa lawns, we perform core aeration, which removes small plugs of soil to relieve compaction. For garden beds, we use specialized tools to gently loosen the soil without damaging root systems. We often follow this with top-dressing using quality compost to improve soil structure long-term.

Absolutely. Erosion on slopes is often linked to the same drainage and soil issues we see across the area. We design and install erosion control solutions tailored to your property, such as building retaining walls with proper drainage, establishing deep-rooted native ground covers, or constructing terraced planting beds. These methods stabilize the soil, manage water flow, and turn a problem area into a beautiful landscape feature.
