Landscaping Edwardsville IL | Call Sugarloaf Landscape Nursery

For Edwardsville properties, we recommend using a thicker layer of quality mulch (3-4 inches) and installing landscape fabric beneath it. We can help you select the right mulch type for our local soil conditions and show you proper application techniques that suppress weeds while maintaining healthy plant roots.

Standing water in Edwardsville yards often results from clay-heavy soil and improper grading. We offer drainage solutions like French drains, dry creek beds, and proper regrading that work with our local terrain. We'll assess your specific situation and recommend the most effective approach to redirect water away from your foundation and low spots.

For areas prone to standing water, we recommend native plants like swamp milkweed, cardinal flower, or river birch that tolerate wet conditions. For weed-prone mulch beds, consider dense groundcovers like creeping phlox or vinca that naturally suppress weeds. We'll help you choose plants suited to our local climate that address your specific landscape challenges.
