Schwiesow & Drilias: Experienced Landscaping Services Serving Bellingham, WA 98225

A professional design tackles the root cause. We analyze your yard's grading and soil composition to create a plan that promotes proper drainage, eliminating the damp, shaded conditions moss thrives in. This often involves strategic regrading, installing French drains or dry creek beds, and selecting plants that absorb excess moisture, transforming a soggy lawn into a dry, healthy landscape.

For standing water, we incorporate functional design elements like permeable paving, rain gardens, and bioswales. These features are engineered to capture, filter, and redirect rainwater away from your lawn and foundation. By integrating these solutions seamlessly into the overall landscape design, we solve the water problem while enhancing your yard's beauty and ecological value.

Absolutely. We focus on creating a landscape that naturally resists moss. This includes designing for better sunlight penetration, specifying moss-resistant grass blends suitable for our climate, and utilizing hardscaping like patios or gravel pathways in chronically wet areas. The goal is a resilient, low-maintenance design that stays lush and green without becoming a moss haven.
