FAQs

What's causing the moss in my Boise lawn, and how can you fix it for good?

Moss in Boise lawns is often a symptom of compacted soil, poor drainage, excessive shade, or low soil pH. We don't just scrape it off. Our service includes a thorough soil analysis to identify the root cause, followed by core aeration to improve drainage, dethatching, and applying soil amendments like lime to correct pH. We then recommend tailored lawn care and possible shade reduction strategies to create an environment where your grass thrives and moss can't return.

My shrubs are turning brown and dying. Can Down to Earth save them, or do they need to be replaced?

Often, yes, we can save them! Many dying shrubs in Boise suffer from improper watering, nutrient-deficient soil, or pest issues. Our expert assessment diagnoses the specific problem. We provide deep-root fertilization, correct pruning techniques to remove deadwood and encourage new growth, and implement a customized watering plan. If the plant is too far gone, we can advise on and install hardy, native shrub replacements that are better suited to our local conditions.

As a Boise homeowner, what's the best proactive landscaping care to prevent these common issues?

The best defense is a tailored, seasonal maintenance plan. We recommend starting with a professional soil test to understand your foundation. Then, consistent core aeration in fall, proper mowing heights to encourage dense grass, and seasonal fertilization based on your soil's needs. For shrubs, strategic pruning and a deep-root feeding schedule are key. Our team creates a custom calendar for your property, so you enjoy a beautiful yard year-round and avoid the headaches of moss and shrub decline.
