Hernandez Landscaping - San Jose's Qualified Landscaping Services

We use professional core aeration to relieve soil compaction, which is common in our area due to clay-heavy soils and foot traffic. This process removes small plugs of soil, allowing air, water, and nutrients to reach grass roots more effectively. For severe cases, we may recommend soil amendment with organic matter to improve structure and drainage, followed by overseeding to fill in bare patches.

Bare patches in San Jose often result from soil compaction, drought stress, or poor drainage. We start by diagnosing the underlying cause—often compaction—then aerate and amend the soil as needed. We then reseed or sod with grass varieties suited to our local climate, ensuring proper watering guidance to establish healthy, even turf that resists future patchiness.

Yes, we offer maintenance plans that include periodic aeration to prevent re-compaction, along with soil testing and tailored fertilization. We also advise on practical steps like varying foot traffic patterns and using drought-tolerant ground covers in high-traffic areas. Our goal is to create a resilient landscape that stays healthy year-round with minimal intervention.
