Nature’s Edge - Melrose's Qualified Landscapers

Moss often indicates poor drainage, compacted soil, or too much shade. Our landscape design service addresses these root causes. We can regrade areas to improve water flow, incorporate drainage solutions like French drains, and select shade-tolerant grass varieties or alternative ground covers for problem spots, creating a healthier foundation for your lawn.

Absolutely. Our tree care and lawn care services work together on this common local issue. We can carefully prune surface roots, apply a thin layer of topsoil and reseed the affected area, and implement a specialized watering and fertilization plan to encourage deeper root growth away from the surface, preserving both your tree and your lawn.

Strategic tree planting is key. Our greenscape design and installation experts select the right tree species for the location, considering mature root spread. We plant at the proper depth and distance from the lawn and often use root barrier systems during installation to gently guide roots downward, preventing future surface damage and protecting your lawn's health for years to come.
