Twin Lawn: Certified Landscaping Services Serving Lansing, MI 48912

Poor drainage is common here due to our clay-heavy soil. We start by assessing the root cause, whether it's improper grading, compacted soil, or blocked runoff paths. Solutions often include strategic regrading, installing French drains or dry creek beds, and improving soil composition to help water infiltrate properly. Our goal is to direct water away from your home's foundation and prevent those soggy, unusable spots in your yard.

Moss thrives in our region due to shade, compacted soil, low soil pH (acidity), and poor drainage—all common here. We don't just scrape it off; we address the underlying conditions. Treatment involves core aeration to relieve compaction, adjusting soil pH with lime applications, improving sunlight penetration through selective pruning, and enhancing drainage. Then, we overseed with shade-tolerant grass varieties suited for Michigan to help your lawn outcompete future moss growth.

Timing is key for lasting results. For drainage work, late summer and early fall are ideal, as the ground is workable and systems can be established before winter freeze-thaw cycles. For moss control and lawn rehabilitation, early fall is perfect. The cooler temperatures and consistent rainfall help new grass establish strong roots, giving you a head start for a thick, healthy lawn the following spring. We can provide a seasonal plan tailored to your property.
