Landscapers West Orange NJ | Call C & D Landscaping

For surface roots causing tripping hazards and dry patches, we recommend a professional approach. We carefully grade and level the affected area, adding a quality soil mix to encourage healthy grass regrowth over the roots without harming the tree. In severe cases, we can discuss strategic root pruning or installing a durable ground cover like mulch or shade-tolerant plants that coexist better with the root system, solving the problem for the long term.

Moss thrives in West Orange due to common factors like heavy shade from mature trees, compacted soil, poor drainage, and low soil pH. We don't just scrape it away; we address the root causes. Our service includes a thorough lawn assessment, core aeration to relieve compaction, adjustments to soil pH with lime applications, and recommendations for improving sunlight penetration or switching to shade-resistant grass blends that naturally outcompete moss.

Absolutely. These issues are often related in our local landscape. Our comprehensive lawn rehab service is designed to tackle them together. We'll address visible root damage first with grading and soil amendment. Then, we'll perform core aeration across the entire lawn—which also helps alleviate soil compaction contributing to both moss and poor grass growth over roots—and apply any necessary treatments. This integrated approach saves you time and creates a healthier foundation for your entire yard.
