Proper lawn care is the first defense against poor drainage. Our services, like core aeration, relieve soil compaction common in our area, allowing water to infiltrate the ground instead of pooling on the surface. Strategic mowing heights and dethatching also improve soil health and water absorption, directly addressing the soggy yard problems many Iowa City homes experience.

While significant re-grading may require a dedicated project, our comprehensive lawn care can dramatically improve minor grading issues. Through techniques like topdressing with quality soil during aeration seasons, we can gradually fill low spots and encourage level growth. This process, combined with overseeding, helps create a smoother, more even lawn surface that directs water away from your home's foundation.

For lawns with chronic wet spots, we take a targeted approach. First, we assess soil composition and thatch buildup. Our service plan then includes core aeration to break up compacted layers, followed by overseeding with grass varieties suited for Iowa's climate that have better tolerance for moisture. We also advise on proper mowing practices to maintain grass height, which strengthens roots and improves the lawn's overall ability to manage excess water.
