Landscapers Saugerties NY | Call Landscaping by Robinson

In Saugerties, edging often gets damaged by frost heave, roots, or mower impact. The best fix involves removing the old, compromised material, preparing a solid, level base, and installing new, durable edging—like steel or heavy-duty plastic—that can withstand our freeze-thaw cycles. Proper installation is key to preventing quick reoccurrence.

Dead patches here are commonly caused by compacted soil, pet spots, fungal disease, or improper watering. Repair starts with diagnosing the specific cause—like a soil test—then involves core aeration, overseeding with hardy grass blends suited for our region, and adjusting your lawn care routine to promote deep root growth and resilience.

For major rehab like tackling dead areas or full renovation, early fall (late August to mid-October) is ideal in our climate. The soil is still warm, which aids seed germination, and cooler air temperatures reduce stress on new grass. This timing gives the lawn a full season to establish strong roots before the summer heat returns.
