NW Premier Tree Services | Professional Landscapers in Vancouver, WA

Bare patches in our area are often caused by compacted soil, poor drainage, or underlying thatch, not just a lack of grass seed. Our lawn care service starts with a soil analysis to identify the root cause. We then use core aeration to relieve compaction, improve water penetration, and overseed with region-appropriate grass blends. This holistic approach addresses the local soil conditions to give your lawn a thick, durable foundation that resists future patchiness.

The key is a proactive, layered approach. First, our tree care experts apply a proper layer of fresh mulch (2-3 inches) to suppress weed seeds and retain moisture. More importantly, we treat the soil beneath with a pre-emergent herbicide before mulching, which creates a barrier to stop weeds before they sprout. We also recommend edging your beds to prevent grass encroachment. This combination is highly effective against the common weeds in our local climate.

Absolutely. In Vancouver, a tree's health directly impacts the lawn below. Thick canopies can create excessive shade and moisture, leading to thin grass and moss. Our professional tree care includes strategic pruning to allow more light penetration and improve air circulation. We also manage root systems to reduce competition for water and nutrients. By caring for your trees properly, we create a more balanced ecosystem that supports a healthier, more robust lawn.
