Handy Landscaping - Greensboro's Expert Landscaping

Patchy grass in our area is often caused by a combination of factors like soil compaction, shade from mature trees, and seasonal stress. At Handy Landscaping, we start with a soil analysis to identify the root cause. Our fix typically involves core aeration to relieve compaction, overseeding with hardy grass blends suited for Greensboro, and a tailored fertilization plan to encourage thick, uniform growth and crowd out weeds.

Absolutely. Surface tree roots are a common issue in Greensboro neighborhoods. We carefully address this by leveling the affected areas with a topsoil mix, which protects the roots while creating a smooth, safe surface. We then re-seed or re-sod the spot, blending it seamlessly with your existing lawn. For severe cases, we may recommend strategic root pruning by a certified arborist, which we can coordinate.

The ideal windows for lawn repair here are early fall and early spring. Fall (late September to October) is prime because the soil is warm, and cooler air reduces stress on new grass, giving roots time to establish before summer. Spring (March to April) is also effective for addressing winter damage. Our team at Handy Landscaping schedules these services to give your lawn the best possible start.
