Landscape Erosion

The top landscaping issue is erosion. One way to combat this is via the usage of a retaining wall because they keep soil in place. We install retaining walls that will not only help prevent landscape erosion but they add structure, style, and solidarity to your property. They also help combat water runoff and flooding as well. Other options are dry creek beds and layered plants.

Dead Plants and Grass

Did you know that some plants grow better in the shade while others retain their nutrients better in direct sunlight? Investing in a shade garden helps you put your plants where they need to be so they don’t perish. One of the best things that you can do is talk to one of the professionals here at Carroll Landscaping so that you can understand the microclimate of your yard. One corner of your landscape could be extremely dry while the other may be cool and damp.

Fungi

Mushrooms and other fungi are an eyesore. When they pop up on your lawn, it takes more than just pulling them up to stop them from coming back. If this problem applies to you then you will need to assess drainage issues and remove any lumber or matter that may have decayed at the roots of your lawn. Other tips include rotating your existing mulching and refreshing it with a high quality bark mulch as well as aerating your landscape and disposing of grass clippings. It’s ideal to put grass clippings in a compost pile, especially if you love to recycle and have an environmentally conscious mindset.
