Does your yard stay soggy long after a rainstorm? Are there patches of grass that always seem to struggle, no matter how much you water or fertilize? If so, your lawn might be suffering from a drainage issue—a common problem in many Ohio yards, especially during the wetter summer months. At Lawn Plus LLC, we help homeowners in West Alexandria and the surrounding areas identify and correct poor drainage before it leads to serious turf damage.
One of the most obvious signs of a drainage issue is standing water. If water pools on your lawn after rain and takes more than a day or two to soak in, your soil likely isn’t draining properly. Another red flag is overly soft, squishy ground that never seems to dry out. Constant moisture can suffocate your grass’s roots, leading to thin or dying patches.
In other cases, you might notice excessive runoff, erosion, or areas where water flows quickly and takes soil or mulch with it. This usually points to poor grading or compacted soil. If your lawn remains muddy or soggy in certain spots while other areas thrive, that uneven growth pattern can also be a sign that something’s not right beneath the surface.
At Lawn Plus LLC, we offer professional lawn solutions tailored to your lawn’s needs. Sometimes, simple aeration can break up compacted soil and improve water absorption. In more severe cases, we may recommend regrading, drainage tile installation, or custom lawn treatments that promote better soil structure.
The longer drainage issues go unaddressed, the more likely they are to cause long-term damage—not only to your lawn but to your home’s foundation or landscaping as well.
Don’t wait for a small soggy spot to become a big problem. If you suspect your yard has drainage issues, let the experts at Lawn Plus LLC diagnose the problem and recommend a practical, long-lasting solution.
