Absolutely. Poor drainage and patchy grass are very common in our area, often linked to soil compaction and improper grading. We start with a site assessment to diagnose the root cause—checking soil health, grading, and irrigation. Our solution typically involves core aeration to relieve compaction, regrading for proper water flow, and overseeding with hardy grass varieties suited to Michigan's climate. We often pair this with irrigation repair to ensure consistent, deep watering that promotes a thick, healthy lawn.

Fixing grading issues requires a construction approach. We'll first evaluate the water flow on your property. The process may involve regrading the soil to create a gentle slope away from your home's foundation, installing French drains or catch basins in problematic areas, and then rebuilding your lawn with proper topsoil and sod or seed. For lasting results, we integrate this with greenscape construction, using strategic plantings and hardscapes to manage water and prevent future erosion or patchiness.

We test the soil for pH and nutrient imbalances that can cause patchy grass and shrub decline. A holistic treatment plan might include soil amendments, targeted pruning for plant health, and selecting disease-resistant native shrubs that work with your improved lawn grading to create a cohesive, low-maintenance Detroit landscape.
