Robertson landscaping: Certified Landscaping Services Serving Collierville, TN 38017

We use a multi-step approach: first, we manually remove existing weeds and their roots. Then, we apply a pre-emergent herbicide to prevent new growth and refresh your mulch bed with a proper layer of quality mulch, which itself helps suppress weeds. This method is far more effective than just adding new mulch on top of the problem.

For surface roots causing tripping hazards or bare spots, we carefully grade and level the affected area with a soil-sand mix, then re-sod or overseed with shade-tolerant grass blends suitable for our Collierville climate. In some cases, strategic root pruning or installing a decorative ground cover around the tree base is the most practical and aesthetically pleasing solution.

Simply filling holes over roots often leads to uneven settling and recurring damage. Professional leveling ensures proper drainage, prevents water from pooling (which can attract pests and cause disease), and creates a smooth, safe surface for your family to enjoy. It's a key final step for a lasting repair.
