Q&A
How can you fix a lawn with poor drainage and standing water in Santa Rosa?
Poor grading is a common issue in our area. We address this through landscape construction techniques like regrading and installing French drains or dry creek beds. For new lawns, our greenscape construction ensures proper slope away from your home's foundation. Combined with our lawn care aeration services, we create a yard that drains effectively, preventing water damage and mosquito breeding.
What's the best way to stop weeds from taking over my garden beds?
Effective weed management starts with a strong defense. Our gardening and landscape maintenance services include applying fresh mulch to suppress weeds, careful hand-weeding, and using pre-emergent treatments where appropriate. For severe cases, we can perform shrub bed renovations—removing affected plants, amending the soil, and replanting with healthy shrubs and a robust weed barrier system to keep your Santa Rosa landscape clean.
My shrubs are struggling with pests and disease. Can you help?
Absolutely. Unhealthy shrubs can invite more weeds. Our comprehensive shrub care includes disease and insect management using targeted, responsible treatments. We'll diagnose the issue—common in our local humidity—and may recommend pruning, transplanting to a better location, or in some cases, removal and replacement with a more disease-resistant native species. Healthy shrubs are your best defense against a weedy, unkempt yard.
