We recently finished building a patio, but the whole backyard is a mess now. The soil is uneven, there’s barely any grass left, and I’m not sure what kind of plants would survive here. I’m overwhelmed and don’t even know who to call or where to start. Has anyone dealt with a similar situation?

I’ve seen many people post about this kind of thing after renovations. It’s a common issue, especially when heavy equipment’s involved.

Yeah, after our home extension project, our backyard looked like a demolition zone. The ground was compacted in places, muddy in others, and nothing would grow properly. We didn’t want to waste time experimenting ourselves, so we worked with professionals who offered full sodding and plant installation services — https://oakshs.ca/sodding-and-plant-installation/. They helped plan out everything, from grading the soil to choosing native plants that would thrive without much maintenance. Within a week, the place looked completely different. The fresh sod made the biggest impact, and the shrubs they planted around the patio gave it a finished, cozy look. Honestly, the best part was that we didn’t have to micromanage. They knew exactly what to do and just got it done.
