Burrington Jim Lawn Service - Havre's Experienced Landscapers

In Havre, surface tree roots are common and can create tripping hazards and bare patches. The most effective solution is often a combination of careful root pruning by a professional, followed by topdressing the area with a soil-compost mix and reseeding with a hardy grass blend suited to our climate. We avoid damaging the tree's health while restoring a safe, even lawn surface.

Common signs in our area include circular brown patches, thinning grass, or a slimy film. The first step is a proper diagnosis, as different fungi require specific treatments. We'll identify the fungus, recommend a targeted fungicide application if needed, and advise on cultural practices like adjusting your watering schedule to prevent future outbreaks.

Consistent, deep but infrequent watering early in the morning is key. This strengthens grass roots to better compete with weeds and resist disease, and it's much more effective than frequent shallow watering. Pair this with aeration in the spring or fall to combat our region's soil compaction, and you'll build a resilient lawn that thrives despite local challenges.
