Migliarese & Son Landscaping John: Experienced Landscaping Services Serving Westport, CT 06880

The best approach depends on the severity. For minor surface roots, we carefully grade the area with topsoil and reseed. For more significant damage that creates tripping hazards, we may recommend a professional-grade repair that involves selectively pruning the problematic roots (following arborist best practices to protect tree health), removing damaged turf, regrading the soil, and laying new sod. This creates a safe, level surface while preserving your mature trees.

Common signs in our area include circular brown patches, thinning grass, or strange patterns like powdery residue or 'frog-eye' rings. Since different fungi require different treatments, our first step is always a precise diagnosis. We then apply targeted, professional-grade fungicides and recommend cultural practices like adjusting your mowing height or improving drainage to correct the underlying conditions and prevent recurrence.

Absolutely. Prevention is key. For tree roots, we can advise on strategic planting and root barrier installation for new trees. For fungus, our focus is on building lawn resilience through core aeration to reduce soil compaction, proper seasonal fertilization to strengthen grass, and tailored irrigation advice to avoid over-watering—a major contributor to fungal issues in Westport's climate.
