Davis Outdoor Solutions: Landscaping, Fencing & Concrete in West Lebanon, IN

Heavy rains and clay soil near the Sugar Creek area often lead to water pressure buildup behind retaining walls, causing them to bow or crack. Signs include bulging, leaning, or visible gaps at the seams. Davis Outdoor Solutions resolves this by constructing new retaining walls with proper drainage—like gravel backfill and weep holes—and, if needed, by replacing damaged sections with durable masonry or concrete blocks designed for local soil conditions.

In high-humidity zones near the Wabash, shrubs like yews and arborvitaes often suffer from fungal diseases like root rot or blight, especially if irrigation overspray keeps foliage wet. Signs include yellowing, browning leaves from the inside out, or cankered stems. Davis Outdoor Solutions provides shrub disease management—applying proper fungicides and adjusting irrigation to minimize leaf wetness—as well as pruning affected branches to improve airflow and promote recovery.

Look for deep cracks wider than 1/4 inch, spalling (flaking surface), or sunken sections that collect water. In West Lebanon's freeze-thaw cycle, these signs indicate the base has shifted. Davis Outdoor Solutions can assess the area: minor surface cracks may be patched, but if the concrete is crumbling or drainage is failing, they recommend full driveway or walkway construction with properly compacted gravel base and reinforcement to prevent future issues.
