Experienced Landscaping Services in Murrells Inlet, SC 29576 - SETH Design Group

Dead patches here are often due to soil compaction, pests, or improper watering in our coastal climate. The best approach is a professional assessment to diagnose the root cause. We then recommend solutions like core aeration, targeted soil amendments, or installing more resilient, drought-tolerant turfgrass suited to our area to prevent future issues.

Overgrown shrubs are common locally. Improper pruning can harm plants. We recommend a method called 'renewal pruning' for many species, which involves selectively removing older stems over time to rejuvenate growth without shocking the plant. For immediate clearance, careful thinning cuts are better than shearing, which maintains the plant's natural shape and health.

Prevention starts with the right plant choices and a maintenance plan. We help select native and adapted plants that naturally fit the space when mature, reducing constant pruning. Implementing a simple, seasonal maintenance schedule for light pruning, feeding, and mulch refresh keeps everything manageable and avoids the cycle of severe overgrowth common in our growing season.
