Questions and Answers

How can regrading or earthmoving help with moss control in my Olympia yard?

Moss thrives in wet, compacted, and shaded areas common in our region. Our earthmoving and regrading services address the root cause by reshaping your landscape to improve surface drainage and reduce standing water. By creating a better slope and amending the soil, we create conditions where grass can outcompete moss, leading to a healthier, more resilient lawn that stands up to Olympia's damp climate.

My shrubs in Olympia are dying. Can you diagnose and treat the problem?

Absolutely. Dying shrubs in our area are often due to fungal diseases, insect infestations like aphids or scale, or poor planting conditions. Our shrub care specialists provide thorough disease and insect management services. We correctly diagnose the issue—whether it's root rot from poor drainage or a specific pest—and apply targeted treatments. We can also advise on or perform corrective shrub planting, pruning, or transplanting to a more suitable location in your landscape.

What's included in your landscape design and construction to prevent future moss and shrub issues?

Our proactive landscape design and construction focus on building a healthy foundation. This includes strategic grading for drainage, selecting disease-resistant plant varieties suited for Olympia, and designing efficient irrigation systems to avoid overwatering. For hardscapes, we construct retaining walls and patios with proper drainage in mind. This holistic approach from the ground up ensures your new landscape is beautiful, functional, and less susceptible to the common local problems of moss and plant decline.
