Q: What are some of the landscaping problems that arise from too much rain?


A: The biggest problem for homeowners is the difficulty of mowing grass during the rainy season. Cutting wet grass without tracking up the yard is extremely difficult.

Fungus problems also tend to be an issue in wet environments. We attempt to use a preemptive strike by putting out fungicide in the seasonal flowerbeds and other high moisture areas.

Drainage is another major issue. There are two things that really hurt plants - lack of water and too much water. This balance is difficult to maintain during rainy weather.
