Qualified Landscapers in Lexington, SC 29072 - Mcelveen Landscaping

In Lexington, standing water is often caused by compacted clay soil and poor grading, which prevents proper drainage. We fix this by first diagnosing the specific flow issue on your property. Our solutions typically involve installing French drains or catch basins to redirect water, or regrading the land to create a gentle slope away from your home's foundation, effectively solving the soggy yard problem.

While under-watering can cause issues, dead patches in Lexington are frequently due to soil compaction, disease, or improper mowing. We start with a soil analysis to check for nutrient deficiencies and compaction. Treatment often includes core aeration to relieve soil pressure, overseeding with hardy, region-appropriate grass varieties, and implementing a tailored fertilization plan to bring your entire lawn back to a uniform, healthy green.

Absolutely. We take an integrated approach. For instance, when installing a French drain to manage water runoff, we use decorative river rock or grade the area to seamlessly incorporate new sod or seeding. Our goal is to solve the functional problem of standing water while enhancing the overall beauty and usability of your yard, so you get a lasting solution that also boosts your curb appeal.
