JM Yard Service | Professional Landscapers in Sacramento, CA

Our landscape maintenance includes core aeration, a key technique for Sacramento's often compacted soils. We use specialized equipment to create small holes in the lawn, allowing air, water, and nutrients to penetrate deeper—improving root growth and reducing runoff. Combined with proper mowing and soil amendments, this helps alleviate compaction common in our local clay-heavy soils.

We apply mulch at the proper depth (2-3 inches) and use erosion-control methods like creating berms or using coarser mulch blends that resist washing away during Sacramento's rainy seasons. For sloped areas, we may recommend organic netting or strategic planting to anchor mulch, ensuring it stays in place to retain moisture and protect soil.

Absolutely. Our integrated approach includes aeration to combat compaction while installing erosion-resistant mulch barriers. We assess your yard's specific conditions—like drainage patterns and soil type—to implement solutions that work together, such as aerating before mulching to improve water infiltration and using mulch to protect newly loosened soil from re-compaction.
