Toms Lawn Service - McKinleyville's Best Landscapers

We start by assessing your yard's specific grading and soil composition. Common solutions include core aeration to relieve soil compaction, strategic regrading to direct water flow away from your home and foundations, and installing French drains or dry creek beds where necessary. For gardens, we select plants that thrive in our local wet/dry cycles to help absorb excess moisture.

Dry patches often result from poor drainage, compacted soil, or thatch buildup preventing water penetration. Our approach includes dethatching, aeration, and overseeding with grass varieties suited to McKinleyville's climate. We also adjust your irrigation schedule to ensure deep, infrequent watering that encourages strong root growth and resilience.

Absolutely. As local gardeners, we recommend native and drought-tolerant plants that are adapted to our soil conditions. For areas with poor drainage, we might suggest raised beds or berms. Plants like ferns, redwood sorrel, or certain grasses can help manage moisture while adding beauty and reducing the maintenance your landscape requires.
