Common Questions
How do you fix lawn damage from tree roots in Pittsburgh?
We offer specialized lawn repair services that address the root cause—literally. For surface damage, we can carefully grade and re-sod the affected area. For more persistent issues, we may recommend installing a root barrier to redirect growth or using strategic aeration and soil amendments to improve lawn health around the tree without compromising its stability. Our goal is a healthy lawn and a healthy tree.
What's the best material for landscape edging in our climate?
For Pittsburgh's freeze-thaw cycles, we recommend durable, flexible materials like steel or heavy-duty polymer edging. These materials resist heaving and cracking better than brittle concrete or plastic. During installation, we ensure proper depth and anchoring to prevent shifting. We can also expertly repair existing brick or stone edging that has become uneven or damaged over the winter.
Can you prevent tree roots from damaging my new edging?
Absolutely. During an edging installation or repair, we assess the proximity of tree roots. If necessary, we can install a deep vertical root barrier at the same time. This barrier guides roots downward, away from your new edging and lawn surface, preventing future conflict and saving you money on repeat repairs. It's a proactive solution we often use for Pittsburgh homes with mature trees.
