Rock Solid Landscape Supply: Emergency Landscaping Services Serving Ionia, MI 48846

For lasting results in our local soil, we recommend starting with a quality topsoil to level the area, then using a hardy grass seed blend suited for Michigan's climate. Proper watering is key to establishing new growth and preventing future bare spots.

In areas with surface roots, adding a shallow layer of topsoil and overseeding with shade-tolerant grass can help. For more significant damage, we often suggest using a coarse, nutrient-rich mulch around the tree base instead of grass, which protects roots and improves the area's appearance.

For our area, shredded hardwood or cedar bark mulch is an excellent choice. It decomposes slowly to enrich the soil, helps retain moisture during dry spells, and forms a dense mat that effectively suppresses weeds in your flower beds and around trees.
