DeSalvo Landscaping and Tree Service: Professional Landscaping Services Serving Fort Lauderdale, FL 33322

Lawn fungus thrives in our humid climate, often due to improper watering or poor air circulation. Our maintenance program includes proper mowing at the correct height, balanced fertilization that doesn't promote fungal growth, and aeration to improve soil drainage. We also identify specific fungal types and apply targeted, effective treatments to eliminate the disease and help your grass recover, focusing on long-term lawn health.

Healthy, properly maintained trees are part of a balanced landscape. Chinch bugs love hot, stressed turf often found in overly sunny areas. Our tree care services include strategic pruning and canopy thinning, which can increase beneficial shade over your lawn, reducing heat stress on the grass. Healthier grass is more resistant to chinch bug damage. We also remove diseased or hazardous trees that can negatively impact your entire landscape's ecosystem.

First, we'll confirm it's chinch bugs, as they're a common pest here in Fort Lauderdale. Our treatment involves applying effective, targeted insecticides to the affected areas. More importantly, our follow-up landscape maintenance focuses on cultural practices that make your lawn less inviting to them: proper irrigation (chinch bugs prefer dry thatch), core aeration to reduce thatch buildup, and using slow-release fertilizers that promote steady, resilient turf growth instead of the weak, succulent grass that pests prefer.
