Chitwood Lawn Care & Landscaping | Professional Landscapers in Wilmington, NC

In our coastal climate, dead spots are often caused by a combination of soil compaction, fungal issues like brown patch, or improper watering. We start with a thorough inspection to diagnose the root cause. Our solution typically involves core aeration to relieve compaction, targeted fungicide applications if needed, and adjusting your irrigation schedule. We then oversee the reseeding or sodding process with grass varieties proven to thrive in Wilmington, ensuring a seamless, healthy recovery.

Absolutely. Poor grading is a frequent issue in our area and can damage your lawn's root system and foundation. We assess the water flow and soil composition on your property. Solutions often include regrading the terrain to create positive slope away from your home, installing French drains or dry creek beds for channeled drainage, and amending soil for better absorption. This not only solves the puddling but protects your landscaping investment and your home's structure.

Proactive, seasonally-aware care is key. We recommend a customized annual plan that includes regular aeration to combat our dense soil, proper fertilization timed for our growing season, and vigilant monitoring for humidity-loving fungi. We also advise on smart irrigation practices to avoid over or under-watering. Think of us as your local lawn partners—we provide the ongoing expertise and services to maintain a resilient landscape that can better withstand Wilmington's specific challenges.
