Trusted Landscaping Services in Springfield, MO 65807 - RG Lawn Services

Moss thrives in compacted, acidic soil with poor drainage—common in our area. Our core lawn care program includes soil testing, aeration to improve drainage, and balanced fertilization to correct pH and strengthen your grass. By promoting a thick, healthy turf, we create an environment where grass outcompetes moss, providing a long-term solution for your lawn.

We address surface root damage with a multi-step approach. First, we carefully grade and level the affected areas, then overseed with shade-tolerant grass blends suited for Springfield. For severe cases, we may recommend strategic root pruning (following best arborist practices) or installing a protective layer of topsoil to allow grass to regrow over the roots, restoring a smooth, safe lawn surface.

If moss covers large areas or returns after DIY treatment, or if tree roots have created significant tripping hazards or bare patches, it's time to call us. These issues often signal underlying soil or drainage problems that require professional diagnosis and equipment, like core aerators. We provide the correct, lasting corrections for our local soil conditions, saving you time and ensuring the health of your lawn and trees.
