Tom's Lawnmower - Glen Head's Expert Landscaping

Moss often indicates poor drainage, soil compaction, or low soil pH. We start by diagnosing the root cause, then implement solutions like core aeration to improve drainage, proper dethatching, and applying soil amendments to correct pH levels. This creates an environment where grass thrives and moss struggles to take hold.

Absolutely. Surface tree roots are common here. We carefully assess the situation and can perform a process called topdressing, where we add a thin layer of quality soil and seed to even out the surface without harming the tree. For severe cases, we may recommend strategic aeration and overseeding to encourage grass to grow over the area, restoring a smooth, green lawn.

Prevention is key. A consistent, seasonal program tailored to our local conditions works best. This includes regular aeration to combat compaction, proper mowing heights to shade out moss, deep root fertilization to strengthen grass against root competition, and timely overseeding with durable grass varieties suited for our area. We'll create a customized plan for your yard.
