Lees Construction & Home Improvements | Lawn & Landscaping Experts in Cream Ridge, NJ

Absolutely. Recurring issues like brown patch and dollar spot fungus are common in our local soil and climate. It's often more than seasonal; it can indicate underlying problems with soil compaction, drainage, or pH balance. We start with a thorough diagnosis of your lawn's specific conditions and then implement a targeted treatment and aeration plan. More importantly, we address the root cause, which may involve improving yard grading or installing better drainage to prevent the moist conditions where fungus thrives, giving you a healthier lawn long-term.

The first step is a professional assessment to determine if the cause is disease, pests, poor soil, or even damage from winter salt or improper prior planting. In Cream Ridge, we often find that shrubs planted without proper bed preparation or in areas with poor drainage are most at risk. We'll examine the plant and its environment. Often, the solution isn't just replacing the shrub but correcting the site conditions. This might involve amending the soil, adjusting the grade for runoff, or selecting more resilient, native species suited for our local environment to ensure your new plantings thrive.

Yes, that's our specialty. Many homeowners find that solving one issue, like poor drainage killing their grass, opens the opportunity to enhance their yard. We provide a seamless service from diagnosis to construction. For example, we can correct the drainage issue that's causing your lawn fungus and then use that new grading plan as the foundation for a beautiful, dry, and level patio or deck. This integrated approach saves you time and money, ensuring your entire outdoor project—from the healthy lawn to the new hardscape—is built correctly and designed to last for years of enjoyment.
