Surface roots are common here. We offer a few practical solutions. For minor issues, we can carefully grade the soil and overseed the affected areas. For more significant problems, we may recommend installing a professional root barrier to redirect growth or even selectively pruning problematic roots (with arborist guidance) to protect your tree's health while restoring a smooth, green lawn.

Frost heave pushes soil and grass crowns up, leaving them vulnerable. Our repair process starts with gently rolling the lawn to re-establish soil contact, followed by core aeration to relieve compaction and improve drainage—key to preventing future heave. We then top-dress with a sandy loam mix suitable for our local soil and overseed with cold-hardy grass varieties to fill in thin or bare patches effectively.

Timing is crucial. Late summer through early fall is ideal for core aeration, overseeding, and fertilization; this strengthens roots before winter. For addressing surface roots, late spring or early summer is best when the tree is actively growing and can recover. We provide a tailored seasonal schedule to proactively manage your landscape, helping it withstand our harsh winters and bounce back stronger each spring.
