Royalty Design - Greenwich's Experienced Landscaping Services

Properly installed hardscapes are key for managing Greenwich's clay-heavy soils. A patio with a correctly prepared gravel base or a retaining wall with proper backfill and drainage (like weep holes and gravel) redirects water flow, prevents pooling that worsens compaction, and creates stable, usable areas on sloped properties. This protects your lawn and plantings from waterlogged, compacted soil.

Absolutely. Our Greenwich-focused maintenance goes beyond mowing. We implement a seasonal program of pre-emergent and targeted post-emergent treatments to stop common local weeds before they take over. We also recommend and install dense, healthy ground covers and mulching in garden beds as a natural barrier, which is a core part of our landscape installation service.

For a lasting solution, we recommend a combined approach. First, we'd remove the old walkway and address the subsoil, often by aerating and amending the compacted ground with organic material. Then, we install a new walkway with a deep, compacted stone base that ensures proper drainage and prevents settling. Finally, we edge the walkway properly and landscape the adjacent areas to discourage weed intrusion, tying the new installation seamlessly into your overall property management plan.
