FAQs
What's the best way to fix patchy grass in my New Ulm yard?
Patchy grass in our area is often caused by compacted clay soil, poor drainage, or improper mowing and watering. At Prairies Edge Landscapes, we start with a soil test to identify nutrient deficiencies, then recommend core aeration to relieve compaction, overseeding with hardy grass varieties suited for Southern Minnesota, and a tailored fertilization schedule. Proper irrigation adjustments are also key to ensuring even growth.
How can I prevent standing water in my yard after heavy rains?
Standing water is a common issue in New Ulm due to our soil composition and terrain. Our team assesses your yard's grading and installs solutions like French drains, dry wells, or regrading to direct water away from problem areas. We also recommend rain gardens or permeable paving in some cases to manage runoff naturally and protect your lawn's health.
What lawn care services do you offer to maintain a healthy yard year-round?
We provide seasonal maintenance including spring clean-ups, aeration, fertilization, weed control, and proper mowing techniques. In fall, we focus on leaf removal and winterizing. Our year-round approach is designed to address New Ulm's specific climate challenges, helping prevent issues like patchiness and waterlogging before they start.
