Buehler Brothers Lawn Service - Carterville's Experienced Landscapers

The best solution depends on your yard's specific grading and soil. For many homes in Carterville, we recommend a combination of regrading to direct water away from your foundation and installing a French drain system to capture and redirect subsurface water. We assess the slope and soil composition to create a custom plan that addresses standing water and protects your property.

Yes, absolutely. We use a specialized process called root pruning or install vertical root barriers. This involves carefully cutting problematic surface roots and installing a barrier deep into the soil to guide future root growth downward, away from your lawn and hardscapes. This protects your tree's health while eliminating the tripping hazards and lawn damage common in our area.

Prevention starts with proper maintenance. We advise Carterville homeowners on aeration schedules to reduce soil compaction, recommend appropriate ground cover or plants for wet areas, and can install sustainable solutions like dry creek beds or rain gardens that manage water naturally. Regular gutter cleaning and downspout extensions are also crucial to keep excess roof water off your lawn.
