Landscapers Lehigh Acres FL | Call Juan Bacilio Calixto Landscaping

We handle exposed roots carefully to avoid harming the tree. For surface roots, we can trim them back professionally or build up the surrounding soil grade with a well-draining mix. We never recommend removing major structural roots, as this can kill the palm. Our goal is to create a safe, level surface while maintaining your tree's health, a common need in our local sandy soils.

Patchy grass here is often due to compacted soil, poor drainage, or heat stress. Our solution typically starts with core aeration to relieve compaction and allow water and nutrients to reach the roots. We then overseed with a hardy grass variety suited for our area and apply a balanced fertilizer. Consistent, deep watering after treatment is key to establishing a thick, uniform lawn.

While some exposure is natural, we can take steps to minimize it. We ensure proper grading during landscaping to prevent soil erosion from rain or irrigation. Using mulch around the base (but not against the trunk) helps retain soil moisture and structure. Regular check-ups allow us to address minor exposure before it becomes a significant trip hazard or eyesore.
