Gentile's Landscaping | Experienced Landscaping Services in Scranton, PA

In Scranton, patchy grass is often caused by a combination of compacted soil, pH imbalance, and disease pressure. Our first step is a thorough inspection to diagnose the root cause. Our fix typically involves core aeration to relieve compaction, followed by a soil amendment to balance pH, and overseeding with high-quality, disease-resistant grass blends suited to our local climate. This comprehensive approach addresses the underlying issues for lasting results.

Common signs of lawn fungus in our area include circular brown patches, thinning grass, or unusual spots on grass blades. It's important to get an accurate diagnosis, as different fungi require specific treatments. Our experts will identify the fungus and apply a targeted, professional-grade fungicide. We also recommend cultural practices like proper mowing and watering adjustments to prevent recurrence and promote a healthy, disease-resistant lawn.

Prevention is key! We recommend a proactive, seasonal lawn care program tailored to Scranton's conditions. This includes timely fertilization to strengthen grass, pre-emergent treatments for weeds, and aeration to maintain soil health. The most important step is partnering with a local expert like Gentile's. We monitor your lawn's specific needs throughout the year, catching small issues before they become major headaches, saving you time and money in the long run.
