About
When plants are not growing in ideal conditions, they are more likely to decline in health, affecting their appearance, productivity, and longevity in the landscape. From wet soils to improper planting, environmental stressors are some of the most common reasons for problems in the yard and garden. Learn how to manage and avoid these issues.
Preventing Grade Change Damage to Trees
Trees are important fixtures in the landscape. We value above-ground parts of trees for their spring flowers, cooling shade in summer, and vibrant leaf colors. But healthy root systems below ground are vital for tree vigor and longevity. If for any reason tree roots are damaged, tree health will be jeopardized. Grade changes - both raising and lowering the soil grade - in the root zone of a tree can be fatal.
