Experienced Landscaping Services in Greenville, IL 62246 - Blankenship Landscaping

In Greenville, patchy grass is often due to compacted soil, poor drainage, or thin turf. The most effective solution typically starts with core aeration to relieve soil compaction, followed by overseeding with a grass blend suited for our local climate. We then apply a targeted fertilizer to nourish new growth. This comprehensive approach addresses the root cause and promotes a thick, healthy lawn that can better withstand the seasons.

For most shrubs in our area, a good rule of thumb is to prune them once or twice a year. The best time is usually late winter or early spring before new growth starts, and then a light shaping in mid-summer if needed. Regular, proper pruning prevents overgrowth, maintains plant health, and improves flowering. For severely overgrown shrubs, we may recommend a gradual rejuvenation pruning over several seasons to restore them without causing shock.

Absolutely. Beyond the initial repair, we offer seasonal maintenance plans tailored for Greenville yards. This includes scheduled fertilization, weed control, and aeration to maintain soil health. We also provide advice on proper mowing heights and watering schedules specific to our local weather patterns. Consistent, proactive care is the key to preventing patchy grass and keeping your lawn vibrant year after year.
