Thompson's Landscaping & Stone Masonry | Professional Landscaping in Columbus, NC

In our local clay-heavy soils, surface roots can cause significant lawn damage. We recommend a multi-step approach: carefully grading and leveling the affected area, adding quality topsoil, and reseeding with shade-tolerant grass blends suited for our region. For severe cases, installing a decorative stone or mulch bed around the tree base can be a beautiful, low-maintenance solution that prevents future damage.

Moss thrives in Columbus due to shade from our mature trees, compacted soil, and sometimes improper drainage. Simply killing the moss isn't enough. Our process involves core aeration to relieve soil compaction, adjusting soil pH with lime if needed, improving drainage, and overseeding with grasses that perform well in shaded, moist conditions. This addresses the root cause for a long-term, healthy lawn.

Absolutely. As a full-service landscaping and stone masonry company, we're uniquely equipped to handle complex issues. For example, we can install French drains or dry creek beds with local stone to solve drainage problems that cause moss, then seamlessly regrade and re-sod the surrounding lawn. This integrated approach ensures a functional and aesthetically cohesive result for your property.
