Owens Landscaping | Reliable Landscapers in Oklahoma City, OK

Tree root damage is common here. The best solution often involves a process called 'root pruning and leveling.' We carefully prune surface roots that are causing the damage, then level the area with topsoil and either re-sod or overseed with a durable grass blend suited for our local climate. This addresses the immediate bumps and promotes healthy, even regrowth.

Patchy grass in OKC is usually due to a combination of compacted soil, poor drainage, or incompatible grass types. We start with a soil analysis to identify the core issue. Our service then typically includes core aeration to relieve compaction, tailored fertilization, and overseeding with hearty, drought-resistant grass varieties that thrive in our local conditions to create a thick, uniform lawn.

While you can't stop roots from growing, proactive management can minimize damage. We recommend strategic root barrier installation for new trees and a consistent deep-root watering schedule for existing trees to encourage roots to grow downward, not surface-seeking. Regular lawn aeration and choosing the right grass type for shaded, root-heavy areas are also key preventative steps we can help you implement.
