Mckee Mow - Des Moines's Licensed Landscapers

Tree root damage often creates unsightly bumps and dry patches. Our lawn care approach includes carefully leveling the affected areas with topsoil, repairing the underlying soil structure, and reseeding with grass varieties suited to the Des Moines climate that can compete with tree roots. We also provide tailored advice on aeration and watering to promote deep root growth for your grass, helping it thrive alongside your trees.

Patchy grass here can result from soil compaction, disease, or inconsistent watering. Our service begins with a diagnosis to identify the specific cause. We then implement a targeted plan, which typically includes core aeration to relieve compaction, overseeding with high-quality, durable grass seed blends for our region, and applying the right nutrients to encourage thick, uniform growth and crowd out weeds.

Consistent, professional care is key to prevention. Our scheduled lawn care services focus on building lawn health from the ground up. Regular mowing at the correct height, timely fertilization based on Iowa's growing seasons, and proactive aeration help develop a dense, robust turf that naturally resists damage from surface roots and is less susceptible to thinning and patchiness, saving you from costly repairs down the line.
