Lawn care and landscaping in Huntersville, NC
Huntersville has been building since the 1990s and a lot of it since 2015, and new-construction lawns have a specific problem: the topsoil left with the grading contractor. What is under the builder's sod is compacted subsoil, and the sod roots into it for about eighteen months before it gives up. Most of our Huntersville work is either saving a second-summer lawn or fixing the drainage swale between two houses that was never quite finished.
Huntersville yards, and what they need
Birkdale, Skybrook, Vermillion and the newer builds off Gilead Road all show it: sod that thrived for a year and thinned the next. The fix is aeration twice in the first two years, topdressing with compost, and a real fertilizer program, not a resod.
New subdivisions are graded so water runs between the houses to the street. When the builder's swale silts in, the side yard floods. We regrade it, seed it and, where it needs one, run a drain to the curb.
Builder trees are often planted too deep and left staked for years. We reset the stakes, pull mulch off the trunk flare, and give you a five-year plan for the trees that came with the house.

Huntersville questions
Why is my two-year-old lawn dying?
Almost certainly compaction. The sod was laid over subsoil and the roots have run out of room. Fall aeration, compost topdressing and a proper feed usually bring it back without resodding; we will tell you if it is too far gone.
Do you cover Cornelius and Davidson?
Yes, the Lake Norman towns are part of the same route. Lakefront lots have their own drainage and erosion issues and we are used to them.
