Landscaping Services Indianapolis IN | Call Mel's Mowing Service

Absolutely. While lawn insects and shrub pests can differ, they often stem from the same environmental conditions. Our targeted shrub insect management program is designed for Indianapolis's common pests. By treating your shrubs, we eliminate a potential breeding ground and food source for insects that can also damage lawns, providing a more comprehensive defense for your entire landscape.

Poor grading leads to water pooling, which can drown plant roots and create disease. As part of our landscape maintenance, we assess drainage. When planting or transplanting shrubs, we strategically place them in well-draining areas or on berms to improve water flow away from your home and lawn. Proper shrub placement is a key, natural tool in managing grading problems.

Our service starts with a diagnosis of common fungal and bacterial issues seen in Indiana shrubs. We then provide a treatment plan, which may include environmentally responsible fungicides, corrective pruning to remove affected areas and improve air circulation, and cultural advice like adjusting watering schedules to combat the damp conditions that often accompany poor grading and lead to disease.
