Question Answers

My shrubs in Clackamas keep dying despite regular watering. What could be causing this and how can Scott Nelson Landscaping help?

Dying shrubs in our area are often due to factors like poor drainage, compacted soil, or local pests. At Scott Nelson Landscaping, we start with a thorough assessment of your soil and irrigation system. We can adjust watering schedules, improve drainage with grading or French drains, and treat any diseases or insects specific to Clackamas. Our shrub care services include planting disease-resistant varieties, proper pruning, and ongoing maintenance to keep your landscape healthy.

How do you address shifting rock gardens, which are common in Clackamas landscapes?

Shifting rock gardens typically occur from erosion or unstable base materials. We tackle this by constructing durable retaining walls or regrading the area to manage water flow. Our services include landscape construction with proper foundations and drainage solutions to secure rocks and prevent future movement. We also offer greenscape construction to integrate stable, low-maintenance plants that help anchor the soil naturally.

Can you help with both new construction and maintenance for my Clackamas property?

Absolutely. We provide full-service support from initial construction—like patios, walkways, and irrigation installation—to ongoing maintenance such as lawn care, shrub pruning, and irrigation repairs. This holistic approach ensures your landscape is built to last and adapts to local conditions, preventing common issues like shrub die-off or structural shifts over time.
