Landscaping Services Somerset WI | Call McCallie's

Winter frost can leave lawns thin and patchy. Our landscape maintenance includes core aeration to relieve soil compaction, overseeding with hardy grass varieties suited to our climate, and a balanced fertilization program. This combination encourages deep root growth, fills in damaged areas, and builds a thicker, more resilient turf to better withstand future winters.

Soil compaction restricts water and oxygen from reaching tree roots. We recommend deep-root fertilization to deliver essential nutrients directly to the root zone and vertical mulching (aeration around the root system) to improve soil structure. For new plantings, we select species tolerant of our local soil conditions and ensure proper installation techniques to promote long-term health.

Proactive fall care is key. Schedule a late-season aeration with us to alleviate compaction before the ground freezes. We'll also apply a winterizing fertilizer to strengthen grass roots. For trees, a deep-root feed in the fall provides essential nutrients for spring recovery. Avoiding heavy foot or vehicle traffic on frozen or soggy lawns also significantly reduces compaction risk.
