Maynard Lawn Care Service | Certified Landscaping in Geneseo, IL

Soil compaction is a frequent problem here due to our local soil composition and weather. Our core aeration service is specifically designed to combat this. We remove small plugs of soil from your lawn, which relieves compaction, improves air and water penetration to the roots, and encourages stronger, healthier grass growth. This is a foundational step for any effective lawn care plan in our area.

Absolutely. Poor grading that leads to water pooling or runoff is a common local issue we handle. As part of our comprehensive lawn care, we offer grading and leveling solutions. We carefully reshape the soil's contour to ensure proper drainage away from your home's foundation, eliminating soggy spots and creating a more even, functional, and beautiful lawn surface.

The first step is a professional assessment to see if soil compaction or grading is the root cause, which it often is here. We'll check for hard, dense soil and areas where water collects. From there, we typically recommend starting with core aeration to revitalize the soil, followed by overseeding with grass varieties suited for our Illinois climate. This targeted approach addresses the local problem to build a thicker, more durable lawn.
