Milton's Lawn Care - Hammond's Best Landscapers

Absolutely. A common issue in our area, surface tree roots can make mowing difficult and create bare spots. Our lawn care approach includes specialized aeration and topdressing techniques to smooth the soil surface around roots without harming the tree. We'll also recommend a resilient grass blend and a tailored fertilization plan to encourage thick turf growth that can better coexist with your trees, giving you a smoother, greener lawn.

Our landscape maintenance service proactively addresses drainage, a frequent concern in Hammond due to our soil and rainfall. We assess your yard's slope and trouble spots during every visit. Services include regrading low areas, cleaning and extending downspouts, aerating compacted soil, and adjusting irrigation to prevent overwatering. For persistent issues, we can install discreet French drains or dry creek beds as part of a maintenance plan, directing water away from your home and foundation to protect your landscape.

Smart planting is key to prevention. Our gardening service focuses on selecting the right plants for the right place. We recommend native and adapted species with less aggressive root systems for areas near lawns and hardscapes. We also practice proper planting techniques, ensuring adequate distance from structures and creating designated planting beds with proper edging. This strategic approach not only enhances your garden's beauty but also helps manage root growth and improves overall water absorption in your soil, mitigating future drainage issues.
