Standing water in your yard is more than an eyesore. It creates muddy conditions, attracts mosquitoes, damages turf, and can even threaten your home’s foundation over time. After heavy rain or heavy rainfall, many homeowners notice water pooling in yard areas that never seem to dry out. These ongoing lawn drainage problems usually point to a larger drainage problem beneath the surface.

Winter is one of the most important times for seasonal invasive honeysuckle removal. When leaves have fallen and the forest floor is easier to see, landowners finally get a clear view of aggressive invasive species like invasive honeysuckles. These shrubs continue to crowd out native plants all year long, so taking action in the winter gives your property a strong start before spring growth begins again.

Sunday, November 9 through Saturday, November 15 is the 2nd Annual Ohio Soil Health Week. This week encourages everyone to learn more about how important soil is to our everyday lives. Soil may look simple, but it is actually full of life. It supports plants, animals, clean water, food production, and the balance of entire ecosystems.
