Who knew? That this is the #1 problem solved by correct landscaping. Terri Aufmuth of Cornerstone Landscaping really knows her stuff. Apparently, drainage issues from the land can cause a host of problems for homeowners. Honestly, when landscaping is the topic, the first thing that comes to mind is plants. And making sure those plants don’t kill each other (yes, plants can do that). But your backyard being a threat to your home’s foundation? With the potential for areas of standing water for bugs and bacteria to grow (gross!)? After sitting down with Terri, I’ve gained a whole new appreciation for outdoor spaces. The work and science behind it is fascinating. And very specific. Each factor that goes into creating a beautiful space is intentional. But, not solely for how it looks. The choices made are based around building a healthy urban forest for the future. Again, it’s not just about plants. With over 20 years of experience and a degree in Horticulture, Terri knows what she’s talking about. Her #1 tip for picking a reliable landscaping company? Make sure to understand that landscaping is not regulated. So be sure to check their credentials. Any Joe-Schmo can slap a magnet on his car and pretend he knows what he’s doing. That magnet doesn’t mean you’ll end up with your dream yard. Learn more about all things landscaping at cornerstonelandscape.com
