Landscapers East Palo Alto CA | Call Ernesto Gonzalez Gardening Maintenance

Those dead patches are often caused by compacted soil, improper watering, or thatch buildup common in our area. We start by aerating the lawn to improve water and nutrient penetration, then overseed with a durable grass blend suited for our local climate, followed by a targeted fertilization program. This approach revives the turf and helps prevent future dead spots.

For the persistent weed growth we see in East Palo Alto, a multi-step approach works best. We carefully remove existing weeds by hand or with safe, targeted methods, then apply a pre-emergent herbicide to prevent new seeds from sprouting. Finally, we add a fresh layer of mulch to suppress weeds, retain soil moisture, and give your beds a clean, finished look.

Absolutely. Unhealthy trees can be linked to lawn issues like competing for water or root damage. Our tree care service includes a health assessment, proper pruning to improve structure and sunlight, and deep-root fertilization to strengthen them. Healthy trees not only look better but can also improve the overall health of your landscaping by reducing competition with your lawn and garden plants.
