Trusted Landscapers in Collierville, TN 38017 - Crawford Landscape Services

We address tree root damage with a multi-step approach tailored for our local conditions. First, we carefully grade the area to create a smooth surface, often using a specialized topsoil mix that promotes healthy grass growth. For severe cases, we may recommend installing a French drain to manage water flow and prevent future erosion. The goal is to restore a level, safe lawn without harming the health of your valuable trees, a common concern for Collierville homeowners.

The most effective strategy is proper bed preparation and maintenance. We start by removing all existing weeds and applying a professional-grade landscape fabric or pre-emergent herbicide to block new growth. Then, we install a thick, fresh layer of high-quality mulch—we recommend a shredded hardwood for our area—at the proper depth (typically 3 inches) to smother weeds and retain moisture. Regular bed edging and light refreshments help maintain this barrier season after season.

Absolutely. Many Collierville properties face these interconnected challenges. We provide comprehensive care, from resolving the structural issues caused by surface roots to designing and maintaining beautiful, weed-free planting beds around those same trees. Our integrated service approach ensures your entire landscape is healthy, cohesive, and easy to maintain, saving you time and protecting your property's curb appeal and value.
