Disch Landscaping - Monticello's Qualified Landscaping Services

The best approach is a combination of root management and lawn repair. We carefully prune problematic surface roots to prevent further damage, then level and reseed the affected lawn areas. For severe cases, we may recommend installing a root barrier or adjusting irrigation to promote healthier, deeper root growth away from the surface.

For most common shrubs in our area, an annual trimming is ideal for maintaining shape and health. However, fast-growing varieties or those blocking windows or walkways may need attention twice a year—typically in late spring after the first flush of growth and again in mid-summer. We assess each plant to create a schedule that prevents overgrowth and promotes dense, vibrant foliage.

Yes, with careful, expert techniques. We identify which roots are causing the lawn damage and which are critical for tree stability and health. Using proper pruning methods, we only remove the specific surface roots that are problematic. This resolves the lawn issue while protecting the long-term health and safety of your tree, a crucial consideration for Monticello's mature landscapes.
