Bentley's Lawn Care and Landscape Design - Gainesville's Certified Landscaping Services

Standing water often indicates poor drainage due to compacted soil or an improper grade. Our excavation services carefully reshape the land to create a gentle slope away from your home's foundation, directing water to appropriate drainage areas. We can also dig trenches for French drains or dry wells to capture and redirect subsurface water, solving the problem at its source and protecting your landscape.

Patchy grass in our area is frequently a soil or drainage issue, not just lack of water. Our landscape design process starts with an analysis of your soil composition and yard grading. We then design solutions that may include aerating compacted areas, improving soil quality, and incorporating proper drainage into the plan. This creates the healthy foundation needed for grass to grow thick and even, reducing reliance on excessive watering.

Our Gainesville lawn care program is proactive. It includes regular aeration to combat soil compaction, tailored fertilization to strengthen grass roots, and overseeding to maintain density. We also monitor drainage paths we've installed to ensure they remain clear. This consistent maintenance keeps the soil healthy and water moving correctly, preventing the return of patchy areas and standing water.
