For bare patches, we first diagnose the cause—often compacted soil, poor drainage, or wear. The solution typically involves core aeration to relieve compaction, followed by overseeding with a hardy, region-appropriate grass blend and proper soil amendments. Timing is key in our climate to ensure strong root establishment before extreme heat or cold.

Erosion on slopes is common here. Effective solutions include installing retaining walls or terraces to manage water flow, using erosion-control blankets with native plants to stabilize soil, and improving drainage with French drains or swales. The goal is to slow runoff and anchor the soil with deep-rooted vegetation suited to Saint Louis.

Prevention starts with smart design. We recommend using native ground covers and plants that thrive in local conditions with minimal water, ensuring proper grading for drainage, and applying a layer of mulch to retain moisture and protect soil. Regular, light maintenance like aeration and mindful watering is more effective than reactive fixes.
