Scott Fettig Landscaping | Landscaping Services in Alanson, MI 49706

In our area, dead patches are often caused by a combination of compacted soil, poor drainage, or fungal issues like snow mold. We start by diagnosing the exact cause, then use core aeration to relieve compaction, improve soil health with targeted amendments, and overseed with durable grass blends suited for Northern Michigan's climate. This approach not only fixes the spot but strengthens your entire lawn.

Absolutely. Dying shrubs in Alanson can result from winter salt damage, improper planting depth, disease, or simply being the wrong plant for the location. We'll assess the shrub's health, soil conditions, and sun exposure. Often, corrective pruning, soil adjustment, and a proper feeding schedule can revive them. If replacement is needed, we recommend and install native or well-adapted plants that will thrive with less maintenance.

Proactive, seasonal care is key. We recommend a yearly plan that includes fall aeration and overseeding to thicken your lawn, proper mulching to protect shrub roots, and a soil test every few years to guide fertilization. Choosing the right plants from the start is crucial—we focus on species proven to withstand our local winters and summer conditions, creating a landscape that's both beautiful and resilient.
