Landscapes by Lance - Montrose's Top-Rated Landscaping Services

For our local clay-heavy soils, core aeration is the most effective solution. This process removes small plugs of soil, alleviating compaction to allow air, water, and nutrients to reach the grass roots. At Landscapes by Lance, we time this service for optimal recovery, typically in the spring or fall, to help your lawn become thicker and more drought-resistant.

Absolutely. Surface roots from trees like cottonwoods or elms are common here and can create uneven, dry patches. We offer professional root pruning and grading to smooth the area safely without harming the tree. We can then advise on the best grass varieties or alternative ground covers, like clover, that are more tolerant of shady, root-filled conditions in Montrose.

Prevention starts with understanding our local environment. We recommend a tailored seasonal care plan that includes regular, deep watering to encourage strong root growth, proper mowing heights to reduce stress, and annual aeration to combat natural soil compaction. We provide free consultations to assess your specific yard and create a simple, manageable maintenance schedule to keep it healthy year-round.
