SERVING THE DOWNRIVER AREA

Landscaping in Trenton

Properties in Trenton, particularly those near the scenic Elizabeth Park or along the Detroit River International Wildlife Refuge, must balance a "river town" aesthetic with strict environmental mandates. The heavy clay soil common in neighborhoods like West Grove and Haas Park often leads to surface runoff and boggy backyards that require specialized maintenance to keep healthy.

Whether you are managing salt-sensitive plants along the Jefferson Avenue corridor or preparing your yard for the crowds of the Trenton Summer Festival, your landscape needs to be as hardworking and resilient as the community itself. Navigating Trenton's specific "earth-friendly" guidelines and leaf season logistics is essential for maintaining a home that respects both local history and the surrounding ecosystem.

COMMON QUESTIONS

Common Questions from Trenton Residents

How do you handle the "earth-friendly" requirements for Trenton lawns?

Trenton promotes specific river-safe practices to protect our water. Our Landscape Maintenance programs prioritize "mowing high" to encourage deep root growth and reduce the need for chemicals, and we use practices that are fully compliant with city discouragement of phosphorus fertilizers, ensuring your lawn is both healthy and environmentally responsible.


What is the best way to handle the clay soil and drainage in my Trenton backyard?

Heavy clay soil in Trenton often causes water to pool rather than drain. While we don't perform heavy excavation for drainage, our professional Landscape Maintenance includes organic soil amendments and high-quality Mulching that help break up clay over time, improving surface drainage and reducing "boggy" spots near your foundation.


Do you provide help with curb preparation during Trenton's leaf season?

Yes. Trenton has strict rules for leaf pickup, requiring debris to be raked to the street edge without plastic bags. Our Fall Cleanup service includes professional "curb preparation," where we move bulk debris from your backyard and side lots to the street edge in full compliance with city schedules and guidelines.


How can I protect my landscaping from winter road salt near Jefferson Avenue?

High-traffic corridors like Jefferson Ave see heavy salt use in winter. We recommend our Landscape Design and Mulching services to help raise garden beds above pavement level and the selection of salt-tolerant varieties that can withstand winter spray while maintaining their health and beauty year-round.


Can you help modernize an older property with overgrown foundation plantings?

Many 1960s-era homes in Trenton have overgrown yews or junipers that hide the home's character. We specialize in ripping out these original plantings and replacing them with modern, low-maintenance options through our Landscape Design and Mulching services, giving your home a fresh, updated look.
