River City Yard & Tree Care: Experienced Landscapers Serving Decatur, AL 35601

Absolutely. Standing water and bare spots are often related to soil compaction, poor grading, or thatch buildup. Our landscape maintenance includes core aeration to relieve compaction, strategic overseeding to fill bare patches with hardy grass suited for our area, and adjusting soil grading to promote proper drainage away from your home's foundation.

Proper tree care is crucial for a healthy lawn. Overgrown or poorly placed trees can create excessive shade and compete with grass for water and nutrients, leading to thin or bare spots. Our services include professional pruning to allow more sunlight to reach your grass, root zone fertilization to nourish trees without harming the lawn, and removal of damaged trees that may be contributing to drainage issues or soil imbalance.

Our first step is always a thorough site assessment. We examine your yard's slope, identify low spots where water collects, and evaluate soil composition and existing vegetation. Based on this, we create a customized plan. This often starts with core aeration and may include regrading certain areas, installing simple French drains, or recommending water-loving plants for chronically wet spots to create a natural, beautiful solution.
