Santos Landscape - Mount Vernon's Local Landscaping

Standing water is often caused by poor grading or compacted soil common in our area. We address this by evaluating your yard's slope and drainage patterns, then performing corrective grading and installing solutions like French drains or dry creek beds to channel water away from your home and lawn, effectively solving the pooling issue.

Moss thrives in shade, moisture, and compacted soil. Our approach goes beyond just removal. We start by aerating your lawn to alleviate compaction and improve drainage, then apply targeted moss treatments. Most importantly, we help adjust conditions by pruning for sunlight and recommending proper lawn care to encourage healthy grass that naturally resists moss.

Absolutely. In Mount Vernon, these two issues are often connected. Excess moisture from poor drainage creates the perfect damp environment for moss. By solving the drainage issue through grading or aeration, we remove the primary condition moss needs to thrive. It's a dual-benefit solution that tackles the root cause of both common local problems.
