Landscapers Houston TX | Call Otherside Landscape

We offer several expert solutions for tree root damage common in our area. For minor issues, we can carefully prune surface roots and regrade the soil before re-sodding. For more significant problems, we often recommend installing permeable hardscapes like pavers or decorative gravel around the tree's drip line, or planting durable, shade-tolerant ground covers. This protects both your tree's health and gives you a usable, attractive yard space.

The most effective treatment for Houston's dense, clay-rich soil is core aeration. Our process removes small plugs of soil, creating channels for air, water, and nutrients to reach grass roots. This relieves compaction, reduces runoff, and promotes a thicker, healthier lawn. We recommend annual aeration, especially for high-traffic areas, as part of a proactive lawn care plan.

Absolutely. This is a frequent combination we see in Houston. We develop a phased plan, starting with core aeration for the compacted areas away from major roots. For zones with significant root exposure, we'll implement root-friendly solutions like regrading or installing a permeable surface. Our approach ensures we address both problems without harming your valuable trees, resulting in a more uniform and functional landscape.
