A Cut Above Landscaping | Experienced Landscaping in Alpena, MI

In Alpena's climate, lawn fungus is often caused by excess moisture and humidity, especially in shaded areas. We start with a proper diagnosis to identify the specific fungus. Our treatment involves applying targeted fungicides at the correct time and recommending cultural practices, like adjusting your mowing height and watering schedule, to prevent it from returning.

Bare patches can result from disease, compaction, or wear. We first address the underlying cause, such as treating for fungus or aerating compacted soil. Then, we professionally overseed the area with high-quality grass seed suited for Alpena's conditions, ensuring proper soil contact and providing care instructions to help the new grass establish thickly and evenly.

For the best results in Alpena, the ideal times for overseeding are early fall (late August to September) and spring (once the soil has thawed and temperatures are consistently above 50°F). Fall is often preferred as cooler temperatures and morning dew help seeds germinate without the stress of summer heat, leading to a stronger, healthier lawn for the following year.
