AAA Landscaping and Maintenance: Trusted Landscaping Serving Las Cruces, NM 88011

Those dead, compacted areas are a common issue here. The first step is often core aeration. This process removes small plugs of soil, which relieves compaction, allows air, water, and nutrients to reach the grass roots, and creates space for new growth. For us in Las Cruces, this is crucial for improving our soil's ability to absorb and retain precious water.

Absolutely. Once we've aerated to relieve the compaction, the next step is lawn repair. This involves overseeding the thin or bare areas with grass varieties suited for our Las Cruces climate, applying a top dressing of quality compost to improve soil structure, and ensuring proper fertilization. We create a tailored plan to help your new grass establish strongly and resist future stress.

Prevention is key. We recommend a regular maintenance schedule that includes seasonal aeration (typically in spring or fall), proper mowing heights to reduce stress, and deep, infrequent watering schedules that encourage deep root growth. Our team can set up a customized maintenance plan to keep your Las Cruces lawn healthy, dense, and less prone to compaction and dead spots.
