Yes, we specialize in managing tree root lawn damage. We use careful leveling and topdressing to smooth affected areas, along with shade-tolerant grass varieties for root-heavy spots. For severe cases, we can advise on root pruning or strategic landscaping to protect both your trees and lawn health.

We recommend mowing weekly during peak growing seasons (spring/fall) at a height of 3-4 inches. This strengthens grass roots to resist patchiness and compete with tree roots. Avoid cutting too short, as it stresses the lawn and makes it more vulnerable to the bare spots we often see locally.
