Moses E Gordon Landscaping - Mount Holly's Best Landscaping Services

Persistent dead patches are often a sign of underlying issues like compacted soil, poor drainage, or disease. We start by diagnosing the root cause, then typically recommend core aeration to relieve compaction, overseeding with hardy grass varieties suited to our local climate, and adjusting your lawn's grading if needed to prevent water from pooling and creating soggy, unhealthy areas.

Incorrect grading, where the lawn slopes toward your foundation, is a common issue here that can lead to serious problems. It directs rainwater and meltwater against your home, risking basement flooding, foundation damage, and creating chronically wet areas that kill grass. We correct this by regrading the lawn to create a gentle slope away from your house, protecting your property's structure and solving persistent dampness in your yard.

Absolutely. Water pooling in low spots is a clear sign of grading and leveling issues. A permanent fix involves more than just filling the hole. We perform precision grading to establish the correct overall slope for drainage, followed by topdressing and leveling to create a smooth, even surface. This not only eliminates puddles but also creates a healthier environment for your grass to grow uniformly, preventing future dead spots.
