Hastings Brothers Landscaping: Reliable Landscapers Serving Saint Paul, MN 55101

We start by assessing the extent of the root damage and soil compaction. Our process typically involves carefully removing affected grass, pruning problematic surface roots where possible, and aerating the soil to improve drainage and root health. We then regrade the area, add quality topsoil, and reseed or re-sod with grass varieties that thrive in Saint Paul's climate. For severe cases, we may recommend installing root barriers or adjusting irrigation to prevent future damage.

Treatment depends on identifying the specific fungus—common ones here include dollar spot, brown patch, and snow mold. We first diagnose the issue through on-site inspection, then apply targeted fungicides approved for Minnesota use. We also address underlying causes like overwatering, poor drainage, or excessive thatch, and may recommend adjusting mowing height or aeration schedules. Preventative seasonal treatments are often advised to keep Saint Paul lawns healthy through humid summers and wet springs.

Absolutely. We offer proactive lawn care programs tailored to Saint Paul's seasons, including proper fertilization, aeration, and overseeding to strengthen grass against disease and stress. For tree root issues, we provide root zone management advice during landscape installations and can design solutions like permeable hardscapes or strategic planting. Regular maintenance visits allow us to spot early warning signs and address them before they become major problems for your Saint Paul property.
