Tree roots near the surface can starve your grass of nutrients and water, leading to thin, patchy turf. Our lawn care service combats this through core aeration to relieve soil compaction and customized fertilization to strengthen the remaining grass. We also advise on proper mowing heights and watering schedules to help your lawn better compete with tree roots, promoting a thicker, healthier appearance.

The key is a proactive, multi-step approach. We start by applying a pre-emergent herbicide to the soil before laying fresh mulch, which creates a barrier to stop weed seeds from germinating. For existing beds, we carefully remove weeds by hand or with targeted spot treatments, then refresh with a proper layer of mulch (typically 2-3 inches) to suppress future growth and retain soil moisture, keeping your beds looking clean and maintained.

Absolutely. Our local expertise means we see and treat the same issues—like stubborn mulch bed weeds and tree root intrusion—day in and day out. We tailor our plans based on Old Hickory's soil types and common tree species. This local knowledge allows us to recommend the most effective products and techniques, saving you time and ensuring solutions that work for our specific environment.
