How Does Backfilling Benefit My Yard?

While the largest backfill projects are left up to contractors and construction teams, TJ Blakeney can provide simple yet effective backfilling after the completion of tree removal and stump grinding. Not only does backfilling help keep your yard looking beautiful, but it ensures a healthy lawn, among other benefits.

  • Curb Appeal – The only thing worse than an unsightly stump is the hole left behind after it’s gone! Backfilling is necessary for filling holes and leveling your ground to keep the curb appeal of your property.
  • Safety – Large holes in your yard can be hazardous for anyone crossing your lawn. All it takes is one misstep in or around a hole, and you or someone you love could injure themselves! We fill any holes left behind from tree removal to avoid such incidents entirely.
  • Lawn Health – Although aeration of your lawn helps it grow, holes left behind from ground stumps are overkill! If neglected, large holes in your yard can create opportunities for weeds to pop up and spread, impacting the health and look of your property. A simple backfill can ensure these problems never occur.
  • Prevent Pests – After heavy rain, water tends to gather at the lowest point in your yard. And if the lowest point is the hole where your tree used to be, water can begin to pool there. Unfortunately, standing water on your property can attract rodents and pests and provide a breeding ground for mosquitos and other insects.
