Empire Irrigation & Custom Landscape - Spokane's Qualified Landscapers

Spokane's freeze-thaw cycles are tough on edging, causing materials to heave, crack, and become uneven. The best fix involves removing the old material, preparing a stable base, and installing durable, flexible edging designed for our climate, like heavy-duty polymer or steel. Proper installation is key to preventing future damage and maintaining a crisp lawn edge.

Moss thrives in our area due to shade, compaction, and acidic soil. Simply removing it isn't enough. The most effective strategy is a multi-step approach: professional dethatching to remove the moss layer, core aeration to relieve compaction and improve drainage, and applying soil amendments like lime to balance pH. This creates an environment where grass can outcompete moss.

Yes, absolutely. Damaged or sunken edging can trap water and create poor drainage areas, which are perfect for moss growth. By repairing or replacing your edging to ensure proper water flow off the lawn and into designated beds or drains, you eliminate one of the key conditions moss needs to establish itself, supporting a healthier lawn overall.
