Yard Depression Repair in Baltimore and Surrounding Areas

What causes yard depressions

Many natural occurrences can lead to depressions, ruts, or low spots in a yard, including:

• Burrowing animals

• Tree or root system decay

• Overused, heavily saturated soils

These can lead to serious depressions in the yard that can gather water and create further problems.

Yard depressions need repair

Depressions, ruts, and low spots in lawns are typically not a critical problem. However, depressions can create a place where water collects or improperly drains in a yard. In certain instances, this can create foundation or basement water problems.

Additionally, improving the home's exterior appearance is often an inexpensive way to improve the value of a home and curbside appeal. These problems create potential trip hazards and inconveniences for outdoor activities. Repairing them will create a more enjoyable outdoor experience.

Our yard depression solution

The best solution for these problems is to fill the depression with a compost-soil mixture. If turf is present in the depressed area, lift it before filling the depression. Once the depression has been filled with soil, the sod can be replaced and watered. Ruts or areas where the soil has been compacted should be loosened before filling to facilitate the growth of grass root systems. A pest-control professional must handle burrowing pests before filling.
