Cruz Crew Lawn Service: Certified Landscaping Services Serving Arlington Heights, IL 60006

Yes, absolutely. Tree root surface damage is common here. We address this with a multi-step approach: first, we carefully aerate the compacted soil to relieve pressure and improve water penetration to the grassroots. Then, we apply a specialized top-dressing mix to level the area and encourage new growth over the roots. For severe cases, we may recommend a strategic deep-root fertilization program for the tree to encourage roots to grow deeper, not wider, solving the problem long-term.

Circular brown spots are a classic sign of common lawn fungus in our area, often due to humidity and temperature swings. We start with a precise diagnosis to identify the specific fungus. Treatment involves applying a targeted, professional-grade fungicide at the correct time in its life cycle. Crucially, we also adjust your mowing height and irrigation schedule, as these cultural practices are key to preventing recurrence and building a fungus-resistant lawn in Arlington Heights.

Prevention is about consistent, knowledgeable care tailored to our local climate. We recommend a core aeration service in the fall to combat soil compaction—a major contributor to both root issues and fungus. Implementing a seasonal fertilization program strengthens your grass from the roots up. Most importantly, we provide guidance on proper watering (deep and infrequent, preferably in the morning) and mowing practices, which are your first line of defense against the most common lawn diseases in our community.
