Landscaping New Port Richey FL | Call Cut & Clean Landscaping

Shrubs in our area often suffer from improper watering, poor soil drainage, or nutrient deficiencies in our sandy soil. We start by diagnosing the specific cause—whether it's root rot from overwatering or stress from our intense sun. Our solution typically involves adjusting your irrigation schedule, aerating compacted soil, applying targeted fertilizers, and performing corrective pruning to encourage healthy new growth.

Yes, exposed roots can be a sign of soil erosion and may destabilize the palm, especially during our heavy summer rains. It also creates a lawn mowing hazard. We don't recommend cutting the roots. Instead, our safe and effective method is to carefully add a layer of topsoil mixed with compost to cover the roots just to the original soil line. This protects the roots, encourages stability, and blends seamlessly with your lawn.

Prevention is key. We recommend a seasonal maintenance plan that includes checking and adjusting irrigation zones, applying slow-release fertilizer formulated for Florida soils, and regular mulch renewal to retain moisture and protect roots. Our team can set up a schedule for you, performing health checks with each visit to catch small problems—like minor erosion or early signs of plant stress—before they become major issues.
