Expert Landscapers in Rome, GA 30165 - Stonner Landscaping

In our area, moss often thrives due to a combination of factors like compacted soil, poor drainage, shade, and acidic soil conditions. Moss is a symptom of these underlying issues, not the root cause. Stonner Landscaping helps by first diagnosing your specific lawn conditions. We then implement core aeration to relieve compaction, adjust soil pH if needed, and improve drainage to create an environment where your grass can outcompete the moss, leading to a thicker, healthier lawn.

Soil compaction is very common here due to our clay-rich soil and foot traffic. It squeezes out the air pockets roots need, prevents water absorption (leading to runoff), and stifles grass growth. The most effective solution is professional core aeration. Stonner Landscaping uses specialized equipment to pull small plugs of soil from your lawn. This process immediately relieves compaction, allows air, water, and nutrients to reach the root zone, and stimulates new root growth for a denser, more drought-resistant turf.

Absolutely. These two problems are frequently linked in Rome lawns. Our standard approach for such cases is a combined treatment. We perform core aeration to address the compaction and improve the soil structure. Following this, we can apply specific moss control treatments if necessary and overseed with grass varieties suited for our local climate. This integrated service tackles the immediate moss problem while building a stronger foundation to prevent its return, giving you a comprehensive solution for long-term lawn health.
