Common Questions

As an Asheville homeowner with bare patches in my lawn and a leaky sprinkler, what's the first step YummyYards recommends?

We start with a site visit to diagnose the root cause, which in our climate is often a combination of soil compaction, improper irrigation, or local wildlife. For sprinkler leaks, we provide prompt irrigation repair to conserve water and prevent further damage. To address bare patches, we don't just re-sod; we assess your soil health and may recommend a more resilient, drought-tolerant ground cover or a functional edible alternative that suits Asheville's conditions, ensuring a lasting solution.

How does YummyYards' edible landscaping design work integrate with traditional ornamental plants?

Our specialty is seamlessly blending beauty and function. Think of blueberry bushes with vibrant fall color serving as a hedge, strawberry plants as a flowering ground cover, or rosemary and lavender adding structure and fragrance to a border. We design with the entire plant's value in mind—seasonal interest, texture, and of course, harvestability—so your Asheville garden is visually stunning and provides fresh, homegrown food throughout the seasons.

What does your shrub and tree care service include for disease and insect issues common in Western NC?

Our certified Master Gardeners provide comprehensive shrub and tree care, starting with proper planting and seasonal pruning to promote plant health and natural resilience. When issues like powdery mildew or specific insect pests arise, we prioritize sustainable, integrated pest management (IPM) strategies. This means we first identify the specific problem, then use the most targeted, environmentally responsible method for control, which could include horticultural oils, beneficial insects, or cultural practices, always aiming to protect your garden's ecosystem.
