Les Wilson Landscaping - North Olmsted's Qualified Landscaping Services

Dead patches are often caused by compacted soil, pests, or disease. The best approach is a professional assessment to identify the root cause. We typically recommend core aeration, targeted soil amendment, and re-sodding or overseeding with grass varieties suited to our local Ohio climate. This not only repairs the spot but also strengthens the surrounding lawn to prevent future issues.

It depends on the material and extent of the damage. For minor cracks in stone or paver edging, we can often repair and reset the existing pieces. However, if the edging is extensively damaged, sunken, or consistently failing to keep mulch and grass separate, a full replacement with a more durable material like steel or heavy-duty plastic is usually the most cost-effective, long-term solution for your North Olmsted home.

Prevention starts with proper installation and maintenance. We recommend using durable edging materials installed at the correct depth and secured properly. Additionally, keeping a clean edge with regular trimming—rather than using a string trimmer directly against the edging—prevents cuts and cracks. A seasonal check-up as part of your landscape maintenance can catch minor issues before they become major repairs.
