Common Questions
What's the best way to stop my rock garden from shifting and looking messy?
Shifting rocks are a common issue here due to our freeze-thaw cycles. The best solution starts with a proper base of compacted gravel for drainage and stability. We then strategically place and secure larger anchor stones before filling in with decorative rock. For existing gardens, we can often re-level and re-set the stones, adding a stabilizing edge or geotextile fabric to prevent future movement and keep your rock garden looking neat.
Why does moss keep taking over my lawn in Contoocook, and how can I get rid of it?
Moss typically indicates underlying issues like compacted soil, poor drainage, too much shade, or low soil pH—all common in our area. Simply removing the moss won't fix the problem. We start by testing your soil and aerating to improve conditions. Then, we overseed with shade-tolerant grass blends suited for New Hampshire and may apply a natural moss treatment. The goal is to create an environment where grass out-competes the moss for a healthier, greener lawn.
Can you help with general lawn care to prevent these common problems?
Absolutely. Proactive care is key. Our local lawn maintenance programs include seasonal aeration to relieve soil compaction, proper fertilization to balance soil nutrients, and dethatching to improve air and water flow. We tailor our approach to your specific yard's conditions—whether it's a shady spot prone to moss or a sloped area—to build resilience and prevent issues like moss and erosion before they start.
