Oscar's Lawn Service | Landscaping Services in Shorter, AL 36075

In our area, these issues are often related to soil compaction and drainage. For bare spots, we start with core aeration to relieve compaction, then overseed with grass varieties suited to our local climate. For standing water, we assess the yard's grading and may recommend strategic regrading or installing a simple French drain to redirect water away from your lawn, preventing damage to your grass and shrub roots.

Absolutely. With over 12 years of local experience, we're familiar with common shrub diseases and insect problems in Shorter. We provide a thorough inspection to accurately diagnose the issue, whether it's a fungal disease or an insect infestation. Based on our findings, we recommend a targeted management plan, which could include precise pruning, environmentally responsible treatments, or advice on resistant plant varieties for future planting.

Timing is crucial for plant health. For most shrubs in our region, late winter or early spring, while they are still dormant, is ideal for major pruning or transplanting. This minimizes stress and allows the plant to focus its energy on new growth when the season starts. We can assess your specific shrubs and recommend the best schedule, whether it's a light trim after flowering or a full relocation to a better spot in your yard.
