Signs include water pooling after rain instead of soaking in, grass that feels spongy yet hard to penetrate with a tool, thinning turf, and excessive thatch. If your lawn struggles despite watering and fertilizing, compaction is likely the culprit. Our team can perform a simple soil test to confirm and recommend a solution like core aeration.

Correct grading directs water away from your foundation, which is critical in Oklahoma's heavy rain events. Poor grading leads to water pooling near your home, which can cause foundation issues, basement flooding, and mosquito breeding grounds. We assess your property's slope and regrade to ensure positive drainage, protecting your biggest investment.

We typically recommend a combined approach. First, core aeration punches holes in the soil to relieve compaction. Then, we address grading issues by carefully adding or moving topsoil to create the correct slope. Often, we follow this with overseeding to establish a robust root system that naturally helps prevent future compaction. This comprehensive method solves the immediate problem and builds long-term lawn health.
