The Hard(scaping) Truth
Traditional lawn care efforts won’t ever resolve a lawn with foundational problems—you need landscaping and hardscaping changes rather than surface-level fixes. Many common lawn troubles arise from underlying structural weaknesses:
- Drainage problems
- Compacted soil
- Irrigation inefficiencies
- Root competition
- Poor sunlight management
- Disease & pest vulnerability
- Lawn shape & layout issues
- Aesthetic imbalance
How Hardscaping and Landscaping Weaknesses Lead to Lawn Care Issues
Here’s how weaknesses in hardscaping and landscaping cause a wide variety of lawn care problems.
Drainage Problems
For most lawns, efficient drainage doesn’t occur naturally. Our experts can facilitate a proper drainage system using various hardscaping elements and materials that promote successful drainage.
Compacted Soil
Overly compacted soil spells bad news for your lawn. By installing walkways in high-traffic areas, we can prevent this concern.
Irrigation Inefficiencies
Poor irrigation design can lead to under- and over-watering your lawn. We install high-quality irrigation systems that keep your lawn lush and green.
Root Competition
Root competition can lead to large swathes of grass withering away. Careful placement of plants and trees can prevent this problem.
Poor Sunlight Management
Light plays a central role in your lawn’s health. When we design landscaping layouts, we ensure your lawn gets the right amount of light and shade.
Disease & Pest Vulnerability
Standing water, inadequate air circulation, and certain plant types are the main culprits behind lawn diseases and pests. With our knowledge of drainage systems and plant selection and placement, we can avoid these nasty problems.
Lawn Shape & Layout Issues
Is your lawn’s awkward shape making it hard to maintain? We can help redesign it for easier upkeep.
Aesthetic Imbalance
Cluttered design reduces lawn appeal and makes the space feel less welcoming. Great hardscaping complements your lawn.
