A & S Lawn Care - Fredericksburg's Qualified Landscaping

Proper lawn care goes beyond mowing. For standing water, we assess your lawn's health and terrain. We may recommend core aeration to alleviate soil compaction, a common issue here, which allows water to penetrate deeper. Combined with strategic regrading and the installation of discreet drainage channels, our services redirect water away from your home and foundation, solving the puddling problem and promoting a healthier root system for your grass.

Absolutely. Strategic gardening is a natural solution for drainage. We can design and install rain gardens or bioswales using native, water-tolerant plants in low-lying areas. These features act as natural sponges, absorbing excess runoff and filtering it into the ground. We also select deep-rooted plants for slopes to stabilize soil and improve absorption. This approach not only manages water but also enhances your landscape's beauty and biodiversity.

Our first step is always a thorough, on-site evaluation. We'll walk your property, especially after a rain, to identify where water pools and flows. We check the grading around your home, downspout drainage, and soil composition. This local assessment allows us to create a customized plan—whether it involves simple downspout extensions, more extensive regrading, or subsurface drainage—to effectively channel water away and protect your landscape investment.
