Landscapers Houston TX | Call Marvin Arias Lawn Service

Standing water is often caused by poor grading or compacted soil. We assess your yard's slope and drainage patterns, then perform precision lawn grading to create a gentle slope away from your home and low spots. For less severe cases, core aeration can dramatically improve soil drainage by relieving compaction and allowing water to penetrate deeper into the ground, solving the puddling issue at its source.

Patchy grass here is usually due to a combination of factors like heat stress, poor soil, and wear. Our solution starts with core aeration to prepare the soil, followed by overseeding with high-quality, heat-tolerant grass blends suited for our region. We pair this with a tailored fertilization plan to provide the nutrients needed for thick, uniform growth, effectively filling in those bare spots and building a more durable lawn.

Our Houston clay soil is prone to severe compaction, which chokes grass roots, prevents water absorption, and leads to runoff and patchiness. Core aeration is the essential process of removing small soil plugs to alleviate this compaction. For most lawns in our area dealing with drainage or thinning grass, we recommend annual aeration, typically in the spring or fall, to maintain healthy soil structure and promote a lush, green lawn.
