Kend Landscaping | Landscaping Services in Ann Arbor, MI 48105

In Ann Arbor, bare patches are often due to a combination of factors like soil compaction from heavy clay, winter salt damage, or thinning from shade. We start with a soil analysis to identify the core issue. Our fix typically involves core aeration to relieve compaction, followed by overseeding with a premium, Michigan-adapted grass blend that's more resistant to our local stressors. We also improve the soil bed with organic amendments to encourage deep root growth and lasting recovery.

Treating lawn fungus here requires a precise strategy. First, we accurately identify the disease—like red thread or dollar spot, which are common in our humid summers. Treatment involves applying targeted, professional-grade fungicides at the correct time in the disease cycle. Crucially, we also correct the conditions that invite fungus, such as improving drainage, adjusting your mowing height to reduce moisture, and recommending a tailored fertilization schedule to strengthen the grass's natural defenses.

Absolutely. Prevention is key in Michigan's climate. We build a customized annual lawn care program that includes preventative fungicide applications in spring, regular aeration to maintain soil health, and a balanced fertilization schedule that nourishes the grass without promoting excessive growth that's prone to disease. We become your partner, adjusting the plan based on the season and your lawn's performance, to build long-term resilience against Ann Arbor's common lawn challenges.
