Landscapers Petoskey MI | Call White Diamond Snowplowing

Soil compaction is a frequent problem here, often caused by winter plowing and foot traffic. Our service includes core aeration, which removes small plugs of soil to relieve compaction, allowing water, nutrients, and air to reach grass roots more effectively. This promotes a thicker, healthier lawn that's better equipped to handle our local conditions.

They can, which is why we're careful. For properties with known grading issues, we adjust our snow plowing strategy to avoid piling snow in low spots where melting will cause ice dams or flood vulnerable areas. We can also discuss post-thaw solutions as part of our lawn care plan to improve the grading long-term.

A key step is a final, thorough fall clean-up and cutting the grass slightly shorter for the last mow. This helps prevent matted grass, which can harbor mold under snow. For lawns with compaction, fall is also an ideal time for aeration and overseeding to repair damage and strengthen the turf before the freeze, giving you a head start on spring.
