Questions and Answers
What's the best way to fix standing water in my Norfolk yard?
The most effective solution is installing a proper drainage system. In Norfolk, this often involves French drains or dry wells to redirect water away from your home's foundation and low-lying areas. Our team first assesses your yard's grading and soil composition to create a custom plan that prevents future pooling and protects your landscape.
Why does my lawn have large dead patches even with watering?
In our area, dead patches are frequently caused by soil compaction or poor drainage, which suffocates grass roots. Simply watering can make it worse. We recommend core aeration to relieve compaction and overseeding with hardy, region-appropriate grass blends. This approach addresses the root cause, promoting a thicker, healthier lawn that can withstand local conditions.
Can you fix both drainage and lawn health at the same time?
Absolutely. We tackle these interconnected issues with a combined approach. We'll first correct the drainage with grading or subsurface systems to eliminate standing water. Then, we rehabilitate the soil and lawn through aeration, topdressing, and seeding. This comprehensive method ensures a long-term solution for a dry, green, and usable yard.
