Q&A
My lawn in Wilmington has unsightly patches and raised roots from nearby trees. What can Locklear's do?
Tree root damage is common in our area due to sandy soil and mature tree growth. We offer expert lawn leveling and repair services to address these issues. This can involve carefully filling low spots, addressing drainage, and re-grading affected areas before overseeding with turfgrass suited to our climate. For severe cases, we can also advise on strategic root pruning or tree management to prevent future problems.
Weeds like crabgrass and dollarweed are taking over my Wilmington yard. How do you handle persistent weed infestations?
We take a multi-pronged, expert approach to weed control. First, we perform a thorough assessment to identify the specific weeds and underlying causes, such as soil compaction or improper watering. Our service includes targeted, professional-grade herbicide application for immediate control, followed by core aeration and a customized fertilization plan to promote thick, healthy turf that naturally resists future weed invasions.
As a Wilmington homeowner, what's the best way to prevent these common landscaping problems before they start?
Proactive maintenance is key. We recommend a tailored seasonal program that includes pre-emergent weed control in early spring, regular soil testing and balanced fertilization, proper mowing techniques, and core aeration in the fall. Our team can set up a schedule that fits your property's specific needs, helping you maintain a resilient, beautiful landscape year-round and avoid costly repairs down the line.
