Fixing a patchy lawn requires diagnosing the cause, which in our area is often compacted soil, disease, or improper watering. At G & M Landscaping, we start with core aeration to relieve soil compaction, overseed with hardy grass varieties suited to Northeast Ohio's climate, and apply targeted nutrients. A consistent watering schedule is key, and we can advise on the best practices for your specific yard to establish a thick, green turf.

For most shrubs in Painesville, we recommend a light shaping once or twice during the growing season (spring/summer) to maintain form, with a more thorough pruning in late winter or early spring to promote healthy new growth. Severely overgrown shrubs often need a careful, multi-year rejuvenation plan. Our team can assess your plants and create a trimming schedule that restores their shape and health without harming them.

Absolutely. The most effective way to prevent patchy grass and overgrowth is with a proactive maintenance plan. Our seasonal programs include fertilization, weed control, aeration, mowing, and pruning tailored to the Lake County growing calendar. This consistent care builds lawn resilience, manages shrub size, and addresses small problems before they become major eyesores, saving you time and protecting your landscape investment.
