Frequently Asked Questions
What's the best way to fix bare patches in my Hodgkins lawn?
In Hodgkins, bare patches are often caused by soil compaction, poor drainage, or wear and tear. The best fix involves more than just sprinkling seed. We start by aerating the compacted soil to improve root growth, then apply a high-quality, region-appropriate grass seed blend and a layer of topsoil to protect it. Proper watering is key. This approach addresses the underlying cause for a lasting repair, not just a temporary cover-up.
Why does water pool in my yard, and how can Excell Landscapes help?
Standing water in Hodgkins yards is typically due to improper grading or compacted soil that prevents proper drainage. This can drown grass, attract pests, and create a muddy mess. We help by evaluating your yard's slope and soil composition. Our solutions may include regrading to direct water away from your home, installing French drains or catch basins, or using permeable materials to improve absorption, effectively solving the pooling problem at its source.
Can you handle both lawn repair and drainage issues at the same time?
Absolutely. In fact, for many Hodgkins homes, these issues are connected. Poor drainage often leads to soil erosion and dead grass. Our comprehensive approach allows us to design a solution that integrates proper drainage—like regrading or channel drains—with subsequent lawn restoration, including soil amendment, seeding, and sodding. This ensures your yard is not only dry and functional but also lush and green, all in one coordinated project.
