LKP Landscaping & Cleaning Services - Birmingham's Trusted Landscapers

We use a careful, multi-step approach. First, we gently prune any surface roots that are causing the damage, using precise techniques to avoid stress to the tree. We then level the soil, add a high-quality topsoil and compost mix, and overseed with a durable grass blend suited for Birmingham's climate. This repairs the lawn while promoting healthy root growth for both the grass and the tree, ensuring a lush, even surface.

The best solution depends on your yard's specific grading and soil. For many Birmingham homes with clay-heavy soil, we often install a French drain system. This involves digging a trench, laying a perforated pipe surrounded by gravel, and covering it with soil and sod. It discreetly redirects water away from your lawn's surface and foundation. We also correct grading issues and can incorporate dry creek beds or rain gardens for a natural, attractive fix.

Absolutely. During a new installation, we plan proactively. We select tree species with less aggressive root systems for planting near lawns and hardscapes. We also design the landscape with proper grading and sub-surface drainage channels from the start, ensuring water flows away from your home and lawn areas. This forward-thinking approach saves you time and money on repairs down the road and builds a resilient landscape from the ground up.
