Why Does My Landscape Look Worse After the Pros Leave?

You hired professionals. You paid good money. But now that the job is done, your yard looks... off. Patchy grass. Drooping plants. Drainage issues. Maybe even more mess than before. If you’ve ever wondered why your landscape seems to decline after the "experts" leave, you're not alone.

Here’s what might be going wrong—and how Bergie’s Landscape does things differently.

1. Rushed or Cookie-Cutter Work

Many landscapers juggle multiple clients at once, rushing from one job to the next. This leads to generic designs, poor attention to detail, and a one-size-fits-all approach that ignores your unique yard and lifestyle.

At Bergie’s Landscape:We only work with one client at a time—so your project gets our full attention, from design to final touch.

2. Poor Soil Preparation

Even the most beautiful plants won’t survive in poor soil. Some contractors skip essential steps like soil testing, grading, and conditioning—leading to long-term problems like weak growth, erosion, or flooding.

At Bergie’s Landscape:We take a hands-on approach to every stage, starting with the foundation. Healthy soil = thriving landscape.

3. Low-Quality Materials or Plants

Not all materials are created equal. Some companies cut costs by using cheap pavers, synthetic-looking turf, or plants that aren't suited to Utah’s climate. The result? A landscape that quickly deteriorates.

At Bergie’s Landscape:We use only high-quality, climate-appropriate materials and hand-select every plant for durability and design.

4. Lack of Follow-Through

Landscaping is not just about the install—it’s about how your yard grows over time. Without a maintenance plan or proper guidance, even the best designs can fall apart.

At Bergie’s Landscape:We provide clear care instructions, optional ongoing maintenance, and build landscapes that are sustainable—not temporary.

5. Miscommunication and Oversights

It’s frustrating when your vision gets lost in translation. Some contractors don’t listen closely or fail to keep you updated, resulting in missed details or disappointing outcomes.

At Bergie’s Landscape:We collaborate with you from start to finish, ensuring your goals are understood and executed with precision.

A professional job shouldn’t leave you with more problems than you started with. At Bergie’s Landscape, we’re committed to quality craftsmanship, personalized service, and results that last. We treat your landscape as if it were our own—because your satisfaction is the true measure of our success.
