Hillsborough Landscaping: Fix Tree Root Damage & Yard Drainage | Surely Green

The best solution depends on the severity. For surface roots creating tripping hazards or mowing problems, we often recommend careful root pruning and then regrading the area with topsoil and reseeding. For major damage or large, problematic trees, a full assessment and possible removal or strategic landscaping around the root zone might be needed. We'll evaluate your specific situation to create a safe, effective plan that preserves tree health where possible.

Standing water often points to a grading or drainage issue common in our area. The most effective fix is usually regrading the land to create a gentle slope away from your home and towards a suitable runoff area. In some cases, installing a French drain or dry well system is necessary to channel water underground. We'll assess your yard's unique topography and soil to recommend the right solution to keep your lawn dry and healthy.
