Shelton's Tree & Landscape Maintenance | Expert Landscaping in Christiansburg, VA

Lawn fungus thrives in specific conditions common to our region. Our maintenance program includes proper mowing techniques, core aeration to improve soil drainage and air circulation, and strategic fertilization to strengthen your grass against disease. We can also identify early signs of fungus and apply targeted, effective treatments to stop its spread and protect the health of your entire lawn.

The key is a combination of proper preparation and the right materials. We start by removing all existing weeds and applying a pre-emergent barrier before installing new mulch. We recommend and use high-quality, shredded hardwood mulch for Christiansburg properties, as it knits together better to block sunlight and forms a more effective barrier against weed seeds than large wood chips.

Absolutely. Overgrown or unhealthy trees can create excessive shade and moisture retention, which are prime conditions for lawn fungus and weeds to develop. Our professional pruning improves sunlight penetration and air flow to the ground below. Furthermore, removing dead or diseased limbs prevents the spread of pathogens to other plants and protects your property from potential damage during storms.
