Q&A
What's the best way to fix my lawn where tree roots are causing bumps and damage?
For tree root damage in New Castle, we don't recommend simply cutting the roots, as this can harm the tree. Our expert approach involves carefully grading the soil around the roots and adding a layer of topsoil and sod to create a new, level lawn surface. This protects the tree's health while giving you a smooth, usable yard again. We can also install root barriers during edging work to help guide growth away from your lawn in the future.
My landscape edging keeps getting pushed out of place or damaged. What's a more permanent solution?
This is a frequent issue in our area due to soil movement and root growth. Temporary plastic or flimsy metal edging often fails. We install heavy-duty, professional-grade steel or concrete paver edging. These materials are sunk deep into a solid gravel base for stability, preventing shifting from frost heave or root pressure. Proper installation is key—we ensure it's level, secure, and seamlessly integrated with your hardscape for a clean look that lasts for years.
Can you handle both the tree root problem and new edging in one project?
Absolutely. In fact, addressing them together is often the most efficient and effective strategy. We'll first repair the lawn damage caused by the roots. Then, as part of the new edging installation, we can incorporate root barrier material along the trench line. This two-step approach not only fixes the current issue but also helps prevent the same problem from recurring, giving you a comprehensive, long-term solution for your New Castle landscape.
