Alton Excavating Landscaping and Mowing: Top-Rated Landscapers Serving Alton, IL 62002

Moss often thrives in areas with poor drainage and compacted soil. Our land grading service reshapes your property's contour to direct water away from problem areas, eliminating the damp conditions moss loves. Combined with our soil backfilling using quality topsoil, we create a well-draining foundation that promotes healthy grass growth instead of moss.

We address soil compaction with our specialized soil backfilling and compaction service. It might sound counterintuitive, but we use machinery to properly loosen and aerate the compacted layers, then backfill with amended soil that has the right structure. For lawns, our lawn care program includes core aeration, which pulls small plugs of soil to relieve compaction and allow water, air, and nutrients to reach grass roots effectively.

Proper site work from the start is key. Our excavation and trench digging ensure utilities are correctly installed without disrupting natural drainage. We then perform precise land grading to establish the correct slope away from foundations and toward appropriate runoff areas. Finally, our soil backfilling and compaction service uses engineered fill material, compacted in layers, to create a stable, well-draining base that prevents settling and water pooling—solving problems before they begin.
