Uneven or bumpy lawn — Amsterdam, Noord-Holland

Q: Who should I call for Uneven or bumpy lawn in Amsterdam?

For this problem in Amsterdam, call a Hovenier.

An uneven lawn with bumps, dips, and ridges makes mowing difficult, creates tripping hazards, and causes water to pool in low spots rather than draining evenly. Common causes include settling soil, burrowing animals, decomposing organic matter beneath the surface, poor grading during construction, and freeze-thaw cycles. Minor unevenness can be corrected with topdressing — spreading a thin layer of soil-compost mix and leveling it. Severe cases may need core aeration, regrading, or even sod replacement. A landscaper can assess whether the issue is cosmetic or indicates a deeper drainage or soil problem.

Compacte tuinen, de natte bodem en het zeeklimaat bepalen het hovenierswerk in Amsterdam: drainage en verhoogde borders tellen, terwijl de buitenwijken gestaag tuinonderhoud en de omslag naar onderhoudsarme beplanting vragen.
