With our plentiful rain here in Ann Arbor MI, there’s no reason not to have a beautiful, green lawn to enjoy year after year. Many homeowners are surprised to learn, however, that there’s more to keeping a great lawn than grass seeds and watering.
Here are five big warning signs that your lawn might need a good re-grading.
If your lawn is sloping down towards the house or driveway instead of away from it, you know there’s a problem.
If your lawn feels more like a marsh, with visible pools of water and soil that’s spongy to walk on, it’s a sure-fire sign that the ground under your grass could use some help.
When the slope of your lawn is uneven or too acute, water will run off the surface of your lawn and garden, taking soil and vital plant nutrients with it.
Does your lawn have a weed problem? If so, the problem might be grading.
Problem patches rarely get better on their own; it may be worth re-grading your lawn to rip out weeds, fungal infections, and overly-dense mounds in order to give your grass a fresh start.
Some lawns may develop holes, gullies, rivulets, and trenches– all safety hazards when mowing the lawn or even taking a casual stroll, and all signs that the yard is suffering drainage problems.
