Expert Landscapers in Cincinnati, OH 45231 - Our Home Your Home Landscaping

The best approach depends on the cause. For bare patches common in our area, we typically start with soil testing to check pH and nutrients, then use a combination of core aeration, quality grass seed suited for Ohio's climate, and proper topdressing. This addresses compaction and poor soil health, which are often the root causes behind those unsightly patches.

Absolutely. We specialize in solutions that protect your valuable trees while fixing your lawn. For surface roots, we may recommend a gentle grade correction or installing a permeable mulch bed around the base. For severe cases, a process called 'air-spading' can carefully alleviate soil compaction over roots and allow for safe regrading and re-sodding, all without damaging the tree's critical root system.

Prevention is key. We focus on building a resilient lawn through practices like annual core aeration to reduce compaction, proper mowing heights for our local grass types, and customized seasonal fertilization plans. For tree root issues, we might suggest transitioning the area around the tree to a shade-tolerant ground cover or mulch, which is a more sustainable and low-maintenance solution for Cincinnati yards.
