Absolutely. Standing water often points to grading or drainage issues. Our landscape maintenance and lawn care services include evaluating your yard's slope and implementing solutions like strategic regrading, installing French drains, or using moisture-loving plants in wet areas. Proper shrub and tree planting can also help absorb excess water and stabilize soil, preventing erosion common in our area.

A multi-step approach works best. First, our shrub pruning and trimming service opens up plant canopies, allowing more sunlight to reach the soil and dry out mulch, making it less hospitable for weeds. We then apply a fresh layer of quality mulch at the proper depth to suppress new weeds. For existing problems, our shrub removal service can eliminate overgrown or unhealthy plants that harbor weeds, followed by replanting with healthier, denser shrubs that naturally block weed growth.

If a tree is in decline, has major root damage, or is planted in a poorly draining location, it may contribute to water pooling. Our tree care services include a health assessment. Sometimes, selective tree pruning can improve the situation. However, if removal is needed, our professional tree and stump removal service completely extracts the tree and grinds the stump, allowing us to properly regrade and amend the soil in that area to improve drainage and prevent future standing water.
