Elite Green Landscaping - Grand Rapids's Licensed Landscaping Services

The first step is a professional site assessment. Our team in Grand Rapids will evaluate your yard's grading, soil composition, and identify the source of the water retention. Often, the solution involves a combination of regrading the landscape and installing a French drain or other drainage system to direct water away from your home's foundation and low-lying areas, effectively solving this common local issue.

Common signs in our area include circular brown patches, thinning grass, and a white, cottony growth (like powdery mildew). Treatment starts with proper diagnosis, as different fungi require specific approaches. We apply targeted, professional-grade fungicides and adjust your lawn care routine, such as mowing height and watering schedule, to create an environment where your grass can recover and resist future outbreaks.

Absolutely. Many lawn fungi thrive in consistently wet, compacted soil. By solving standing water issues with proper drainage, you remove the primary condition these diseases need to spread. We often combine drainage solutions with core aeration to improve soil health, which allows roots to breathe, strengthens your lawn's natural defenses, and creates a much less hospitable environment for fungus to take hold.
