FAQs
What is the best way to protect my Fort Myers lawn from chinch bugs?
Chinch bugs are a common and damaging pest in our area, often causing brown, irregular patches in St. Augustine grass. At New Way Landscaping, our approach combines proper cultural practices with targeted treatment. We focus on maintaining a healthy, robust lawn through correct mowing, watering, and fertilization, as stressed grass is more susceptible. For active infestations, we use effective, professional-grade treatments. Our team is trained to correctly identify chinch bug damage, which can be mistaken for drought stress, and we provide a management plan to restore your lawn's health and prevent future outbreaks.
Can you handle both tree removal and stump grinding in one service?
Yes, we provide a complete tree removal service for Fort Myers properties. Our process includes safely removing the tree, whether it's a large native oak or a problematic palm, and then performing stump removal or grinding on-site. We have the proper equipment to handle both tasks efficiently, clearing your yard completely so you can replant or redesign the area. This comprehensive service saves you time and the hassle of coordinating with multiple contractors, and our team ensures the site is left clean and safe.
My palm tree's roots are exposed; is this a problem and can you help?
Exposed roots, particularly on palms, are a frequent sight in Fort Myers due to our sandy soil and erosion. While some surface roots are normal, significant exposure can make the tree unstable and more vulnerable to damage from mowers or foot traffic. New Way Landscaping can assess the situation. Often, the solution isn't to cut the roots, which can harm the tree, but to address the cause. We may recommend adding a shallow layer of topsoil and mulch or adjusting irrigation to prevent further erosion, stabilizing the area and protecting your palm's health and safety.
