Terra Matter Landscape - Northlake's Professional Landscapers

Standing water is a common issue in our area, often caused by poor drainage or soil compaction. We start with a site assessment to find the root cause. Our solutions typically include installing French drains or catch basins to channel water away, or regrading the land to create a gentle slope that promotes runoff. This not only fixes the soggy area but also protects your home's foundation from water damage.

Absolutely. Brown, dead patches are often a sign of underlying issues like disease, poor soil, or compacted earth that prevents water and nutrients from reaching the roots. Our lawn repair service involves removing the dead turf, aerating the soil, and reseeding or laying new sod with grass varieties proven to thrive in the Northlake climate. We'll also recommend a care plan to keep it lush and green.

Aeration is a key service for many Northlake yards. It involves pulling small plugs of soil from your lawn to relieve compaction. This allows air, water, and fertilizer to penetrate deep into the root zone, which strengthens the grass. For drainage, it helps water infiltrate the soil more effectively instead of pooling on the surface. Think of it as opening up the soil to breathe and drink properly, solving two problems at once.
