Eden Garden Lawn and landscaping - Deland's Experienced Landscaping

Compacted soil is common in our area and prevents water, air, and nutrients from reaching plant roots. Our gardening services include core aeration, which removes small plugs of soil to relieve compaction. This allows your lawn and garden beds to breathe, promotes deeper root growth, and improves the effectiveness of watering and fertilization, leading to a lusher, healthier landscape.

Our DeLand landscape maintenance plans proactively address palm tree root exposure. We never recommend cutting major exposed roots, as this can harm the tree. Instead, our approach involves carefully adding a shallow layer of topsoil and mulch to protect the roots from lawn mowers and extreme temperatures, while ensuring we don't smother the root crown. We also adjust irrigation to prevent further soil erosion around the base.

Some root exposure is normal for palms, but significant exposure can indicate soil erosion or compaction and may become a tripping hazard. The first step is to have our team assess the situation. We'll check the tree's overall health, evaluate the soil conditions, and recommend a tailored solution—often part of a broader landscape maintenance plan—to stabilize the area and protect your tree's health for the long term.
