Cotter Contracting - Paxton's Top-Rated Landscapers

Absolutely. Dead patches are common here, often due to compacted soil, disease, or poor drainage. We start by diagnosing the root cause, then typically perform core aeration to relieve soil compaction, add necessary soil amendments, and overseed with hardy, region-appropriate grass blends. This process encourages deep root growth for a lush, resilient lawn that can better withstand our local conditions.

For persistent standing water, which can damage lawns and foundations, we design and install custom drainage solutions. This often includes French drains, dry wells, or grading adjustments to channel water away from problem areas. We assess your property's specific slope and soil type in Paxton to create a system that effectively manages runoff and protects your landscape.

Prevention starts with a healthy foundation. We recommend a proactive maintenance plan that includes annual aeration to prevent soil compaction, proper seasonal fertilization to strengthen grass, and ensuring your drainage systems remain clear. We can also advise on smart landscaping choices, like using native plants in wet areas, to create a more sustainable and low-maintenance yard.
