GMT Landscaping | Expert Landscaping in Cleveland, OH

Poor drainage often stems from soil compaction, which is common in our area. Our lawn care services include core aeration, which relieves compaction by pulling small plugs of soil. This allows water, air, and nutrients to reach the grass roots more effectively, reducing surface runoff and puddling that can damage your lawn.

Recurring bare patches in Cleveland lawns are often due to poor soil health or incorrect grass types. Our approach goes beyond simple seeding. We analyze the soil, select the right grass seed blend for our climate, and use overseeding techniques combined with proper fertilization to establish thick, durable grass that fills in patches and prevents them from returning.

Timing is key in our climate. For drainage and compaction, core aeration is most effective in the early fall or spring. For repairing bare patches, early fall is ideal for overseeding, as the soil is still warm but the cooler air promotes strong root growth before winter. We can create a seasonal care plan to address these issues proactively throughout the year.
