Questions and Answers
What's the most effective way to treat moss in my Vancouver lawn?
In Vancouver's damp climate, moss thrives in shaded, compacted, or acidic soil. We recommend a multi-step approach: first, physically removing moss with dethatching, then improving drainage and sunlight exposure, and finally applying a moss-specific treatment. Our team can assess your lawn's specific conditions and implement a tailored plan that prevents regrowth while promoting healthy grass.
Why do my shrubs keep dying even with regular watering?
Shrub failure in Vancouver often stems from improper planting depth, poor soil drainage, or unsuitable plant selection for our microclimates. We diagnose the root cause by checking soil composition, drainage patterns, and plant health. Solutions may include adjusting irrigation, amending soil, or replacing with native Pacific Northwest species that naturally thrive here with less maintenance.
How can I prepare my landscape for Vancouver's wet winters?
Proper fall preparation is key. We focus on improving drainage through aeration and grading, mulching to protect plant roots from temperature swings, and pruning to prevent snow or ice damage. Our winterization service includes gutter cleaning to direct water away from landscaping and selecting cold-hardy plants that withstand our rainy season without developing mold or root rot.
