Hernandez Yard Work | Licensed Landscaping Services in Phoenix, OR

Compacted soil is common here and prevents water from draining properly. Our core aeration service is key—it pulls small plugs of soil from your lawn, creating channels for air, water, and nutrients to reach the grass roots. This relieves the compaction, significantly reduces standing water, and promotes a deeper, healthier root system that can better handle our local conditions.

For yards with standing water, we start with a thorough assessment. Our service typically includes core aeration to break up the compacted layers, followed by dethatching to remove the barrier that holds moisture at the surface. We may also recommend specific soil amendments based on your yard's composition to further improve soil structure and long-term drainage right here in Phoenix.

Unfortunately, no. Regular mowing maintains grass height but doesn't address the soil beneath. In fact, frequent mowing with heavy equipment can worsen compaction over time. Our specialized lawn care program includes scheduled aeration, which is essential for physically loosening the soil. This proactive approach combats compaction at its source, ensuring your lawn stays healthy and well-drained between our visits.
