CD Lawns: Qualified Landscaping Services Serving Ames, IA 50010

Tree roots can create uneven ground and compete with your grass for nutrients. Our consistent lawn care program includes proper mowing heights to strengthen grass roots, targeted fertilization to feed the lawn, and core aeration. Aeration relieves soil compaction around roots and improves the soil environment, helping your grass grow thicker to naturally mask and recover from surface root damage.

Poor drainage is common in our area and can drown grass roots and promote disease. The most effective first step in our lawn care regimen is core aeration. This process removes small plugs of soil, allowing water, air, and nutrients to penetrate deeper into the ground. When combined with proper mowing and a balanced fertilization schedule, aeration encourages deeper root growth, which significantly improves your lawn's ability to absorb and manage excess water.

While major surface roots may require grading or professional landscaping, our comprehensive lawn care service is designed to significantly improve the look and health of affected areas. Through regular aeration to alleviate soil pressure and strategic overseeding, we encourage new, robust grass growth to fill in thin and uneven spots. Over time, this creates a denser, more uniform lawn that is more resilient and visually masks minor lumpiness caused by subsurface roots.
