Frequently Asked Questions
What are the signs of lawn fungus in the Rock Island area, and how can you treat it?
In our climate, common signs include circular brown patches, thinning grass, or a powdery or slimy coating on blades. As local experts, we first accurately diagnose the specific fungus, as treatment varies. Our approach combines targeted, EPA-approved fungicides with cultural practices like improving soil drainage and adjusting your mowing height to create an environment where your lawn can recover and resist future outbreaks.
Why are my shrubs dying, and what can R&E Landscaping do to save them?
Dying shrubs in Rock Island are often caused by a combination of factors like fungal diseases (e.g., root rot), pest infestations, or environmental stress from our weather patterns. We conduct a thorough inspection to identify the primary cause—whether it's in the soil, roots, or foliage. Our service may involve precise pruning of diseased branches, soil amendments, targeted treatments, and recommendations for more resilient native plantings to restore health or strategically replace lost greenery.
Do you offer preventative landscaping care to avoid common local problems?
Absolutely. The best defense is a good offense. Our preventative maintenance programs are designed specifically for Rock Island yards. This includes seasonal soil health checks, proper aeration and fertilization to strengthen grass against disease, scheduled fungicide applications during high-risk periods, and expert pruning to promote good airflow and plant vitality. This proactive, neighborly care saves you time, money, and the headache of major lawn repairs down the road.
