Landscapers Cleveland OH | Call Shafer Landscaping

We use core aeration, a process that removes small plugs of soil to relieve compaction. This allows essential air, water, and nutrients to reach grass roots. For severe cases common in our heavy clay soils, we follow up with targeted soil amendments to improve texture and long-term health, promoting a thicker, more resilient lawn.

Cleveland's freeze-thaw cycles cause the ground to heave, which can displace or crack even sturdy edging. Shafer Landscaping assesses the underlying issue and installs or repairs edging with proper depth and anchoring techniques designed to withstand our local weather, ensuring a clean, lasting border for your beds and walkways.

For aeration and soil work, early fall or spring are ideal when the soil is moist and grass can recover strongly. Edging repairs or new installations are best tackled in late spring through early fall when the ground is workable. We can assess your specific situation and recommend the optimal timing for lasting results.
