Matt’s Tree Service & More - Waco's Emergency Landscaping

Standing water often points to soil compaction, a common issue here. Our lawn care includes core aeration to relieve compaction, improve drainage, and allow your grass roots to breathe. For mulch bed weeds, we apply targeted pre-emergent and post-emergent treatments to stop them at the source, keeping your beds clean and healthy without harming your plants.

Absolutely. Overgrown or improperly placed trees can contribute to standing water by blocking sunlight and air circulation. Our expert tree care includes strategic pruning to open the canopy, promoting better evaporation and sunlight penetration to dry out soggy areas. We can also assess root systems to ensure they aren't contributing to drainage issues.

Prevention is key. We recommend a two-part approach: First, we apply a professional-grade pre-emergent herbicide in early spring to stop weed seeds from germinating. Second, maintaining a proper mulch depth of 2-3 inches with fresh, high-quality mulch acts as a physical barrier. Our lawn and tree care teams can handle both services to keep your landscaping pristine.
