Best Landscaping in Maryville, IL 62062 - McCarty Trees & Landscaping

Absolutely. Bare patches are common here and are often due to soil compaction, poor drainage, or wear. Our maintenance program includes core aeration to relieve compaction, overseeding with quality grass blends suited for our local climate, and targeted fertilization. We also address the underlying cause, whether it's improving soil health or correcting minor grading to prevent future issues.

Proper tree care is a key part of managing yard water flow. We can strategically prune trees to allow more sunlight to reach soggy areas, helping the ground dry. More importantly, we assess the health and placement of trees whose roots might be contributing to compaction or blocking natural drainage paths. In some cases, careful root pruning or even removal of a problematic tree can significantly improve your yard's drainage.

Yes, we plan for it. During our snow removal service, we're careful about where we pile snow to avoid blocking downspouts, drains, or creating large meltwater piles that flood specific areas as they thaw. We can also advise on long-term solutions like adjusting your landscape's grading in the spring or adding strategic drainage channels to handle meltwater and spring rains more effectively.
