Garlands Lawn Care and Landscaping - Hollis's Trusted Landscaping Services

Poor grading often causes water to pool in low spots, damaging grass and potentially your home's foundation. Our lawn care service includes a thorough assessment of your property's slope. We use specialized techniques like core aeration, topdressing with quality soil, and strategic re-grading to create a gentle slope away from structures. This improves drainage, prevents erosion, and creates a healthier environment for your grass to grow strong and resilient against Maine's weather.

Absolutely, we can help. A malfunctioning irrigation timer is a common issue that leads to dry patches or water waste. As part of our comprehensive lawn care approach, we troubleshoot irrigation problems. We'll check your timer settings, inspect for wiring issues or solenoid failures, and ensure your sprinkler heads are properly aligned and functioning. Fixing your irrigation system is key to maintaining consistent, efficient watering, which is the foundation of a healthy lawn in our local climate.

Our routine lawn care is proactive. It includes regular mowing at the correct height to encourage deep roots, fertilization tailored to Southern Maine soil, and weed control. Crucially, we also perform core aeration, which relieves soil compaction—a contributor to poor drainage—and allows water, air, and nutrients to reach the root zone. This consistent, expert maintenance strengthens your lawn from the ground up, making it more resistant to issues like poor grading stress and the effects of irregular watering.
