Qualified Landscaping Services in Mattoon, IL 61938 - B&L Landscape

Moss often signals poor drainage, compacted soil, or low soil fertility common in our area. We recommend a multi-step approach: first, core aeration to relieve compaction and improve water flow, followed by a soil test to correct nutrient imbalances. Then, we can apply moss control products and overseed with shade-tolerant grasses suited for our Illinois climate to outcompete the moss and establish a healthy lawn.

Dead patches in Mattoon can stem from several local issues, including heat stress, disease, or grub damage. Our process starts with a thorough inspection to diagnose the exact cause. Treatment might involve targeted fungicide application, grub control, or soil amendment. We then repair the area by removing dead turf, improving the soil, and reseeding with durable grass varieties that perform well in our region for a seamless, healthy recovery.

Absolutely. Poor drainage is a key contributor to both moss and dead areas. We offer expert grading and drainage solutions, such as installing French drains or dry creek beds, to redirect excess water away from your lawn. Improving drainage, combined with core aeration, creates a healthier root environment that prevents waterlogging and makes your lawn more resistant to the common issues we see around Mattoon.
