A&S Landscaping | Experienced Landscaping in Colorado Springs, CO

We address mulch washout by first assessing your property's drainage and slope. Solutions often include regrading problem areas, installing discreet landscape edging or berms to contain mulch, and using heavier, locally-sourced mulch materials that lock together better. For severe cases, we can incorporate permeable ground cloth or strategic rock barriers to slow water flow and keep your mulch—and your investment—in place.

Yes, that's a classic sign of soil compaction, a common issue here due to our clay-heavy soils and foot traffic. Compacted soil prevents water, air, and nutrients from reaching grass roots. Our core aeration service removes small plugs of soil, creating channels for essential elements to penetrate. We recommend annual aeration, often paired with overseeding, to relieve compaction and promote a thicker, healthier lawn that can better withstand our local conditions.

Absolutely. Poor drainage is often the root cause of both problems. We provide comprehensive drainage solutions, such as reshaping landscape beds to direct water away, installing French drains or dry creek beds, and creating rain gardens with deep-rooted native plants. By managing water flow at its source, we solve the washout and saturation that lead to compaction, protecting your entire landscape system.
