Local Landscaping in Wheaton, IL 60187 - Lawn Doctor

Patchy grass and fungus in Wheaton often stem from soil compaction, improper pH, or moisture issues. Our approach starts with a soil test to identify the root cause. We then apply a customized treatment plan, which may include core aeration to relieve compaction, a pH-balancing lime application, and targeted fungicides. Combined with our tailored fertilization, this addresses the current problem and builds lawn resilience against future outbreaks.

Absolutely. Insects like grubs can destroy grass roots, causing brown patches, while other pests harm shrubs. Our insect management services for both lawns and shrubs identify the specific pest. We use precise, environmentally responsible treatments to eliminate the infestation. For wildlife like voles that tunnel and damage roots, our removal services protect your landscape's health at the source.

Prevention is key. Our landscape maintenance program includes proper mowing guidance, overseeding to thicken turf and crowd out weeds, and scheduled deep-root fertilization to strengthen grass from below. For shrubs, our preventative care includes disease and insect management sprays, as well as proper pruning to improve air circulation, which reduces the humid conditions where fungus thrives.
