Always Green Landscaping: Experienced Landscaping Serving Mount Pleasant, SC 29466

In Mount Pleasant, surface roots from live oaks and other trees are common. The best approach is often a combination of solutions. We can carefully grade the affected area and add a thin layer of topsoil with shade-tolerant grass seed, or install a professional root barrier to redirect growth. For severe cases, strategic aeration and targeted watering can help the lawn recover without harming the tree's health.

This is a frequent issue here, often due to poor drainage in our clay-heavy soils or incorrect planting depth. Overwatering can be as harmful as under-watering, leading to root rot. We perform a site assessment to check soil conditions, drainage, and sun exposure. The solution may involve improving soil aeration, adjusting your watering schedule, or replacing plants with native species better suited to our local environment.

Prevention starts with choosing the right plants and proper installation. We recommend using native and adapted plants that thrive in our heat, humidity, and occasional salt spray. Ensuring correct planting depth, incorporating organic matter into the soil at planting, and setting up a seasonal maintenance plan for pruning and fertilization are key. A proactive approach saves time and money by creating a more resilient landscape.
