Landscapers Olympia WA | Call Guardian Landscaping

In Olympia, simply adding topsoil over exposed roots can harm the tree and lead to more problems. The most effective, long-term solution is professional lawn leveling and repair. We carefully grade the soil around the roots, then install a specialized root barrier to prevent future upheaval before re-sodding or overseeding with grass varieties suited to our local climate. This addresses the damage while protecting your tree's health.

Patchy grass in Olympia is often caused by compacted soil from our wet winters, poor drainage, or thinning from shade. A core aeration service is a foundational fix—it relieves compaction, allows water and nutrients to reach the roots, and promotes thicker growth. For lasting results, we combine aeration with overseeding using shade-tolerant and disease-resistant grass blends that thrive specifically in our region, followed by a tailored fertilization plan.

Absolutely. For new plantings or established trees causing issues, we offer expert root barrier installation. We use durable, specialized materials installed at the proper depth to gently guide roots downward and away from your lawn's surface and hardscapes. This proactive service is a smart investment for Olympia homeowners, protecting your landscaping investment and preventing costly repairs to sidewalks and driveways down the line.
