Landscaping Cape Girardeau MO | Call Dutch Lawn Care and Tree Service

Soil compaction is common here due to our clay-heavy soil and foot traffic. Our core aeration service is specifically designed to relieve this compaction by removing small plugs of soil, which allows essential air, water, and nutrients to reach the grass roots. This promotes deeper root growth, improves drainage, and creates a thicker, healthier lawn that can better withstand our local climate.

Absolutely. Poor drainage is often linked to grading problems and can be worsened by trees. Our tree care experts can assess your property's grading and the health of your trees. We provide root zone management and strategic pruning to improve water absorption and redirect surface flow. In severe cases, we can recommend complementary lawn grading services to ensure water moves away from your home's foundation and tree roots, protecting your entire landscape.

We tackle these interconnected issues with a full-property assessment. First, we evaluate the grading and soil composition of your lawn to plan for proper leveling and compaction relief. Simultaneously, we inspect your trees for health and placement, as their root systems impact soil structure and drainage. Our combined lawn and tree care plan might include strategic grading, aeration, targeted fertilization, and tree root care or pruning to create a balanced, healthy, and well-drained landscape tailored to your property.
