Melesio's Landscape - Chicago's Emergency Landscaping Services

Proper shrub placement and care are key. During shrub planting and transplanting, we strategically position plants to avoid conflict with existing tree root zones, which can help minimize surface root growth that damages lawns. Our ongoing shrub maintenance, including root zone fertilization, encourages healthier, deeper root systems for both trees and shrubs, reducing the competition that often forces roots to the surface.

Absolutely. Damaged edging is often a result of improper shrub placement or overgrowth. Our shrub pruning, trimming, and removal services ensure plants are kept well-contained and away from edging lines. For new installations, we carefully plan shrub planting locations with adequate space for mature growth. This proactive care prevents roots and branches from disrupting your edging, keeping your landscape borders clean and intact.

Our management programs are tailored to Chicago's common pests and fungi. We start with a health assessment, then provide targeted treatments for issues like scale, aphids, or fungal diseases that weaken shrubs. Healthy shrubs are more resilient and less likely to suffer from root or structural problems that can indirectly harm your lawn and hardscaping. It's a preventative measure that protects your entire landscape investment.
