- Compact soil has very little air space between its particles, so water and oxygen cannot penetrate. Although compact soil is perfect under a building, it can mean big trouble in the yard and landscape beds. Problem and Symptoms Plants, including lawn grasses, need access to soil moisture and oxygen. Compact soil reduces this accessibility to the point that the plants will dry up and die. Watering more frequently isn't a solution because the water will simply sit on the soil's surface until it evaporates.
