Proactive Care for Healthier, Stronger Landscapes

At Coastal Shores Landscaping, our horticultural services focus on building healthy soil and resilient turf from the ground up. These proactive treatments improve root development, reduce stress on your lawn, and create the conditions needed for long-term landscape success in the Lowcountry.

  • Over time, soil becomes compacted, restricting the flow of air, water, and nutrients to grass roots. Aeration relieves soil compaction by creating small openings in the turf, allowing roots to grow deeper and stronger. This service improves water absorption, enhances nutrient uptake, and supports a healthier, more drought-tolerant lawn.

  • Top dressing involves applying a thin layer of nutrient-rich material over the lawn to improve soil structure and organic content. This process helps level minor surface imperfections, encourages microbial activity, and supports strong root development. When paired with aeration, top dressing significantly improves turf density and overall lawn performance.

  • Pre-emergent treatments help stop weeds before they start. Applied at key times throughout the year, pre-emergents create a protective barrier in the soil that prevents weed seeds from germinating. This proactive approach reduces weed pressure, protects turf health, and minimizes the need for reactive treatments later in the season.

Why Horticultural Care Matters

Healthy landscapes don’t happen by accident. Proper horticultural practices strengthen root systems, improve soil health and structure, and increase turf resilience to heat, drought, and traffic

Our team applies these services strategically and seasonally to support sustainable growth—not short-term fixes.
