Questions and Answers
What's the most common cause of drainage issues in Durham yards, and how do you fix it?
In Durham, the most common cause is often improper grading or compacted clay soil, which prevents water from draining away from your home's foundation. We start with a thorough site evaluation to identify the problem areas. Our solutions typically involve strategic regrading to direct water flow, installing French drains or catch basins, and incorporating soil amendments to improve absorption, effectively protecting your property from water damage.
Why are my shrubs dying even though I water them, and what can STG do?
This is a frequent issue here and often points to problems below the surface, like root rot from poor drainage, soil compaction, or incorrect planting depth. Our experts will diagnose the specific cause, which may involve improving soil aeration and drainage around the root zone. We can then recommend and install hardy, native shrubs suited to Durham's climate and your yard's specific conditions, ensuring they establish strong, healthy roots.
Can you handle both drainage correction and landscape redesign together?
Absolutely. In fact, integrating drainage solutions with new landscaping is the most effective long-term approach. We first correct the underlying water management issues to protect your investment. Then, we design and install a beautiful, functional landscape using plants and features that complement the new drainage system. This holistic method solves the immediate problem while creating a more usable and attractive outdoor living space for your Durham home.
