Stewarts Landscape Management: Experienced Landscaping Serving Holmes Beach, FL 34218

Standing water is common here due to our flat terrain and sandy soil. We solve this by first assessing your yard's specific grade and water flow. Solutions often include strategic regrading to create a gentle slope away from your home, installing subsurface French drains to collect and redirect water, or using permeable materials in problem areas. Our goal is a permanent fix that protects your foundation and prevents mosquito breeding.

For our coastal environment, we recommend durable, non-corrosive materials. Heavy-duty polymer or aluminum edging holds up best against the salt air, humidity, and occasional storm surge. It provides a long-lasting, clean border that contains mulch and defines your beds without rusting or breaking down quickly like some metals or plastics can. Proper installation below grade is key to preventing displacement.

We can often repair damaged sections if the material is still in good condition. Common issues like sections heaved by roots or washed out by heavy rain can frequently be reset and secured. However, if the edging is extensively corroded, brittle, or was an ineffective type for our area, a full replacement with a more suitable material is usually the more cost-effective and lasting solution. We'll provide a honest assessment.
