Bonilla Landscaping: Top-Rated Landscaping Serving Hempstead, NY 11550

The best solution depends on the cause. Often, the clay-heavy soils in Hempstead lead to poor drainage. We assess the grade of your property and typically recommend solutions like regrading to direct water away from foundations, installing a French drain system to capture and redirect subsurface water, or creating a dry well. Our goal is a permanent fix that protects your home's foundation and eliminates soggy spots.

Patchy grass in our area is frequently a symptom of underlying issues like soil compaction, poor drainage, or disease. Standing water can drown grass roots, while compacted soil prevents water, air, and nutrients from reaching them. We perform core aeration to relieve compaction, improve soil health with top-dressing, and reseed with grass varieties suited to Hempstead's climate. This addresses the root cause for a thicker, more durable lawn.

Absolutely. In fact, that's often the most effective approach. We first correct the drainage problem—whether through grading, drains, or both—to remove the source of the damage. Once the area drains properly, we prepare the soil, address compaction, and then repair the lawn with seeding or sod. This integrated method ensures the new grass has a healthy foundation and the problem won't simply return next season.
