Excellent question. Standing water is a common issue in our area and often stems from poor grading. Our landscape design service starts with a site analysis to identify low spots and water flow patterns. We then create a custom design that includes solutions like regrading, installing French drains, or creating rain gardens to naturally redirect water away from your home and lawn, solving the problem at its source.

Our Freeburg lawn care goes beyond just mowing. For mulch beds, we use a multi-step approach. First, we manually remove existing weeds. Then, we apply a pre-emergent herbicide to prevent new weeds from sprouting, and finally, we refresh with a proper layer of mulch. This combination of removal, prevention, and physical barrier is the most effective way we've found to keep Freeburg mulch beds clean and healthy all season long.

Absolutely. Trees in saturated soil are stressed and more susceptible to disease and root rot. Our tree care experts in Freeburg can assess the health of your trees and recommend specific actions. This might include strategic pruning to reduce canopy weight, soil aeration around the root zone to improve oxygen flow, or even recommending species better suited for wet conditions. Healthy trees also help absorb excess water, making them part of the drainage solution.
