Absolutely. Poor drainage is a common issue in our Penn Yan area.

Yes, repairing lawn damage from surface tree roots is a specialty. We don't just throw seed on the problem. Our process involves carefully leveling the area around the roots with a quality topsoil mix, then overseeding with a durable grass blend. We'll also provide guidance on proper mowing height and watering to help the new grass establish and compete, giving you a seamless, green lawn again.

The single most impactful step is consistent, proper mowing. Keeping your grass at a taller height (around 3-3.5 inches) encourages deeper root growth, which is crucial for combating both dry spells and outcompeting weeds. Deeper roots also help manage minor drainage issues and make your lawn more resilient to stress from tree roots. Our regular lawn care service ensures this is done correctly every time.
