Landscapers Fairfield CA | Call Mels Construction

Absolutely. Often, dry patches are caused by poor water distribution or soil compaction. A new masonry patio or walkway from Mels can be designed with proper grading to direct rainwater toward your lawn instead of pooling. Similarly, a well-placed fence can act as a windbreak, reducing evaporation that dries out your grass. We assess your entire property to ensure our hardscaping complements and improves your landscape's health.

We go beyond just re-sodding. Our comprehensive landscaping approach starts with diagnosing the cause—be it compacted soil, poor drainage, or inadequate irrigation. We then offer solutions like core aeration, soil amendment, installing efficient drip irrigation systems, and planting drought-resistant native grasses and plants that thrive in our local climate. This creates a lush, sustainable lawn that's resistant to future bare patches.

Properly installed concrete and masonry are foundational to good yard health. For example, we build retaining walls to prevent soil erosion that creates bare slopes, and we construct driveways and patios with precise slopes to channel water away from your home and toward designated drainage areas or garden beds. This prevents water from stagnating in your lawn (which can kill grass) or creating muddy, unusable areas, leading to a more even and vibrant landscape.
