Bentz Landscaping: Licensed Landscaping Services Serving Hanover, MD 21076

The best approach depends on the severity. For surface roots causing tripping hazards and brown patches, we often recommend a professional grade of top-dressing and re-seeding specific to Maryland's soil to level the area and promote new grass growth. For more significant damage, carefully grading the soil and installing a robust sod may be necessary. We can assess the specific trees and soil conditions on your property to recommend the most effective and lasting solution.

Absolutely. This is a frequent issue in our area due to soil shifts, frost heave, and root growth. We help Hanover homeowners by installing more durable edging materials, such as heavy-duty steel or deeply anchored paver edges, that can withstand these pressures. Proper installation, including a secure base and depth, is key to preventing future displacement and maintaining crisp, clean lines for your garden beds and walkways.

Proactive maintenance is the best defense. We recommend annual inspections, especially in early spring, to spot emerging root issues or edging wear before they become major problems. Choosing the right plants and trees for your specific soil type and ensuring proper drainage can also mitigate root-related lawn damage. For edging, selecting a material suited for our local freeze-thaw cycles during installation makes a significant difference. We offer maintenance plans to help you stay ahead of these issues.
