Landscaping Eastlake OH | Call Ward's Lawn Care & Landscape

Proper snow removal is crucial for preventing spring drainage issues. We use techniques that avoid piling heavy snow and ice on delicate lawn areas, shrubs, and drainage paths. This careful approach prevents soil compaction and damage to your lawn's surface and underlying drainage systems, ensuring meltwater can flow away from your home's foundation as intended when spring arrives.

Yes, improper snow clearing can exacerbate moss growth. Piling snow on shady, damp areas where moss thrives keeps the ground wet and compacted longer, creating an ideal environment for moss. Our service is mindful of these problem areas. We strategically place snow to promote faster melting and better air circulation to the soil, helping to dry out moss-prone spots and support a healthier lawn come spring.

The best practice is to establish a seasonal contract for automatic service. This ensures we're there at the first snowfall, applying consistent, careful techniques all winter. Consistent, timely removal prevents the formation of thick ice layers that can smother grass and damage plant roots. By protecting your lawn's health through the winter, we set the stage for easier resolution of any underlying drainage or moss issues during our spring landscaping services.
