JM Landscaping LLC brings lawn installation and renovation north to Oconto, where sandy shoreline soil near the bay drains faster than clay-heavy ground closer to Green Bay. That fast drainage sounds helpful until a new lawn installation dries out before roots ever establish, which happens often along Highway 41 and near the historic downtown.
