J&M Landscaping Service - Houston's Licensed Landscaping

The best approach depends on the severity, but it typically starts with addressing drainage and stabilizing the soil. For Houston's climate, we often recommend a combination of strategic grading to redirect water flow, installing erosion control barriers like retaining walls or riprap in problem areas, and amending the dense clay soil to improve absorption and root health. A lasting solution prevents future washouts.

Absolutely. Bare patches in St. Augustine grass are common here and can stem from erosion, shade, or disease. We first diagnose the cause, then expertly prepare the soil and install new sod or high-quality seed that matches your existing lawn. Proper soil preparation and follow-up care are key to ensuring the new grass establishes well and blends seamlessly with the rest of your yard.

Yes, prevention is a core part of our service. After correcting current erosion, we implement long-term safeguards. This can include installing French drains or dry creek beds for better water management, using ground covers or mulch on slopes, and creating strategic planting beds with deep-rooted native plants that hold soil in place. We design your landscape to be both beautiful and durable against Houston's weather.
