Frequently Asked Questions
How can McGrady Landscaping fix water pooling in my Nantucket yard?
Water pooling is often caused by poor lawn grading, a common issue on the island. We assess your property's slope and perform precise regrading to create a gentle, consistent pitch away from your home's foundation. This ensures proper drainage, prevents erosion, and protects your landscape from stormwater damage.
My lawn is thin and hard. Is this soil compaction, and what's the solution?
Yes, that's a classic sign of soil compaction, which is frequent in Nantucket due to foot traffic and heavy clay soils. Our solution is professional core aeration. This process removes small plugs of soil to alleviate compaction, allowing air, water, and nutrients to reach the grass roots, leading to a thicker, healthier lawn.
What services do you offer to improve my lawn's overall health on the island?
Beyond correcting grading and compaction, we provide comprehensive lawn care tailored to Nantucket. This includes soil testing and amendments to balance pH and nutrients, overseeding with hardy grass varieties suited for our climate, and implementing efficient irrigation plans. Our holistic approach builds a resilient landscape that thrives year-round.
