M & J General Contracting - Oakland's Trusted Landscapers

Standing water and bare patches often point to soil compaction and poor drainage, common issues in our area. We address this by first assessing your yard's grading and soil health. Solutions typically involve core aeration to relieve compaction, improving soil composition with organic amendments, and if needed, creating subtle grading or a French drain system to redirect water. For the bare patches, we'll reseed with grass varieties suited for Maine's climate. It's a practical, multi-step process to create a healthier, more resilient lawn.
