Hicks & Sons Landscaping | Certified Landscapers in Saint Louis, MO

In our area, dead patches are often caused by a combination of compacted soil, fungal diseases like brown patch, or improper watering. We start with a soil test and inspection to pinpoint the exact cause. Our treatment typically involves core aeration to relieve compaction, a targeted fungicide application if needed, and adjusting your irrigation schedule. We then oversee the reseeding process with hardy, Saint Louis-appropriate grass varieties to ensure a thick, healthy recovery.

Shrubs in Saint Louis can struggle due to winter burn, poor soil pH, disease, or being planted in the wrong location (too much sun or shade). Our experts assess the health of each plant and your soil conditions. We provide deep-root fertilization to correct nutrient deficiencies, recommend proper pruning techniques for air circulation, and can suggest replacing chronically ill plants with more resilient, native species that thrive in our local climate with less maintenance.

Our deep local knowledge is key. We understand the specific clay-heavy soils, the humid summers that breed fungus, and the unpredictable winters that can cause plant stress. Our solutions, from lawn care programs to planting selections, are designed specifically for these conditions. We use soil amendments that work here and choose plants proven to thrive in Missouri, saving you time and money on treatments that aren't suited for our unique environment.
