Landscapers Hickory NC | Call D&K Lawn Services

Poor drainage is a frequent issue in our area due to soil composition and terrain. Our lawn care program includes core aeration, which relieves soil compaction to improve water absorption, and strategic grading to direct water flow away from your home's foundation. Healthier, denser grass from our fertilization and overseeding also helps stabilize soil and reduce runoff, tackling drainage at the root cause.

Many shrub problems in Hickory stem from improper watering, nutrient deficiencies, or pests. Our comprehensive lawn care includes soil health management, which directly impacts nearby shrubs. We ensure your lawn isn't competing with shrubs for water and nutrients. We can also assess your shrub beds during service and advise on specific issues like fungus or insect infestations common to our region, often catching problems early.

For our climate, starting in early spring (late February to March) is ideal. This allows us to apply pre-emergent weed control before weeds germinate and begin a fertilization schedule that strengthens your grass before the summer heat. Addressing drainage and soil health early also prepares your lawn to handle our seasonal rains better, setting you up for a lush, healthy yard all year.
