Brown's & Son Landscaping and Lawn Care - Altoona's Professional Landscapers

Poor drainage often stems from compacted soil and improper grading. Our lawn care program includes core aeration to relieve soil compaction, allowing water to penetrate deeper instead of pooling on the surface. We also assess your yard's slope and can recommend gentle regrading or strategic landscaping to direct water away from your home's foundation, effectively solving common Altoona drainage issues.

Moss is a symptom of underlying issues like shade, poor drainage, or acidic soil common in our area. Simply removing it won't prevent its return. Our approach includes testing your soil's pH and applying the correct amendments, improving drainage through aeration, and recommending shade-tolerant grass varieties. We treat the existing moss and create conditions where your grass can outcompete it for good.

Early spring is key for preventative care in our climate. Starting a regular mowing, feeding, and aeration schedule in April helps build a dense, healthy lawn before summer stresses or fall moss growth can take hold. A strong turf is your best defense. We recommend a consultation in early spring to create a customized plan that addresses your yard's specific drainage and moss-prone areas proactively.
