Smallegan Lawncare | Experienced Landscaping Services in Hamilton, MI

Poor grading is a common issue in our area that can lead to water damage and an unhealthy lawn. Our lawn care services include aeration and targeted soil amendments to improve drainage and promote a stronger root system. For more significant grading problems, we can recommend and implement leveling solutions to redirect water away from your home's foundation, protecting your property and creating a more even, usable yard.

Weeds in mulch beds are a frequent nuisance here. The key is a proactive, multi-step approach. We start with proper bed preparation and the application of a high-quality landscape fabric or pre-emergent herbicide before mulching. For existing beds, our service includes careful manual removal of weeds and a fresh layer of mulch to suppress new growth. We also recommend using a thicker, shredded hardwood mulch, which naturally mats together better to block weeds than large wood chips.

Look for a service that understands local soil conditions and common problems like compaction and specific weed types. A good routine should include regular mowing at the proper height to encourage deep roots, seasonal fertilization tailored to West Michigan's climate, and core aeration to relieve soil compaction and improve water absorption. It's also important they offer edging to keep your lawn looking crisp and defined against your mulch beds and walkways.
