Dead spots are often caused by compacted soil, disease, or pet damage. For Johnston lawns, we typically recommend core aeration to relieve soil compaction, followed by overseeding with a hardy grass blend suited to our local climate. This approach addresses the root cause and promotes thick, healthy regrowth to blend seamlessly with your existing turf.

Absolutely. Poor drainage from incorrect grading is a common issue in our area. We assess the slope and low points of your property and perform professional lawn grading and leveling. By carefully reshaping the terrain, we redirect water away from your home and foundation, solving the pooling problem and protecting your landscape.

For optimal results, the best time for major lawn grading in Iowa is during drier periods in late summer or early fall. Lawn aeration is most effective in the early fall or spring when the grass is actively growing and can recover quickly. We offer free consultations to evaluate your yard and recommend the ideal timing for your specific project.
