Walsh Nursery: Expert Landscapers Serving Huntington Station, NY 11746

For areas with poor grading and standing water, we recommend native, moisture-tolerant plants like Sweet Flag, Switchgrass, and Joe-Pye weed. These plants help absorb excess water, stabilize soil, and prevent erosion. We can help you select the right varieties for your specific sun and soil conditions to improve drainage naturally and beautify the problem area.

The key is proper timing and technique. For most shrubs in our area, late winter or early spring pruning is best. Use sharp, clean tools and focus on removing dead or crossing branches first to open up the plant's center. We can show you the right tools and demonstrate the correct cuts to promote healthy regrowth and maintain a manageable size for your Huntington Station property.

The first step is a thorough assessment to identify the low spots where water collects. Often, the solution involves adding topsoil and gently re-grading the area to create a slope away from your home's foundation. We can provide the soil, tools, and guidance on how to properly level your lawn to improve drainage and protect your property from water damage.
