Gonzalez Lawn Services: Professional Landscapers Serving Montgomery, AL 36116

We address Montgomery's drainage problems by first assessing your lawn's specific grading and soil compaction. Our core services include professional lawn aeration to relieve soil compaction and improve water absorption, along with strategic regrading to direct water away from your home's foundation. For more severe cases, we can install simple yet effective French drains or channel systems. This targeted approach ensures your lawn stays healthier and drier, preventing the muddy, waterlogged patches that are so common here.

Our lawn care service includes a proactive approach to mulch bed maintenance. We start by applying a fresh, thick layer of quality mulch, which naturally suppresses weed germination. For existing beds, we perform thorough manual weeding and can apply a pre-emergent herbicide as a barrier before adding new mulch. We also ensure proper edging to create a clean separation between your lawn and beds, preventing grass and weeds from creeping in. This keeps your Montgomery landscape looking neat and significantly reduces future weed growth.

Based on the local climate and common issues like drainage and weeds, consistent and proper mowing is crucial. We recommend keeping your grass at a slightly higher height (about 3-3.5 inches for common Bermuda and Zoysia lawns here) to promote deeper root growth, which helps the turf better withstand both dry periods and heavy rain. This simple practice, combined with our scheduled fertilization and aeration services, builds a thick, resilient lawn that naturally crowds out weeds and handles our local weather extremes much more effectively.
