Corrales Landscaping | Trusted Landscapers in Chicago, IL

The most effective strategy is a combination of proper mulch depth, a pre-emergent herbicide application, and regular maintenance. We apply a quality mulch layer at the correct depth to suppress weed seeds, then use targeted, professional-grade pre-emergent treatments timed for Chicago's growing season to stop weeds before they start. Regular light cultivation of the mulch surface during our maintenance visits disrupts any new growth.

Common Chicago lawn fungi like Brown Patch or Dollar Spot often appear as circular patches of discolored or thinning grass, especially during humid periods. The first step is a proper diagnosis, as treatments differ. We offer free lawn evaluations to identify the specific fungus. Treatment typically involves a targeted fungicide application, coupled with cultural adjustments like improving drainage and modifying mowing/watering practices to prevent recurrence.

Absolutely. We specialize in creating resilient landscapes suited for our local environment. This can include selecting disease-resistant grass varieties, designing beds with proper spacing and native plants that compete with weeds, and improving soil health and drainage to create an environment where your lawn and plants thrive, making them less susceptible to common issues like fungus and invasive weeds from the start.
