Simply Snow & Lawn - Madison's Best Landscapers

Tree root lawn damage is a common issue in our area due to our soil types and mature tree canopy. We offer a few practical solutions. For minor surface roots, we can carefully regrade and add a layer of topsoil before reseeding the affected area. In cases where roots are causing significant tripping hazards or damaging hardscapes, we provide professional root pruning or, if necessary, complete tree removal and stump grinding. We also recommend strategic aeration to alleviate soil compaction around trees, which can encourage roots to grow deeper rather than surface. Our goal is to preserve the health of your tree while restoring the usability and appearance of your lawn.

Our team includes designers who can create a custom plan for your Madison property, whether it's a new patio, walkway, retaining wall, or a complete garden renovation. Once the design is finalized, our experienced construction crew handles the installation. We manage all aspects, from earthmoving and grading to the final planting and irrigation setup. This seamless process ensures the final result matches your vision and is built to last through Wisconsin's seasons.

Timing is key for plant health in our climate. For pruning and trimming, late winter or early spring (while plants are dormant) is generally ideal for most trees and shrubs, promoting vigorous growth. However, spring-flowering shrubs are best pruned right after they bloom. For insect and disease management, early detection is crucial; we recommend a spring inspection. Planting is best done in early fall or spring to allow roots to establish before summer heat or winter freeze. We provide seasonal maintenance plans to handle these tasks at the optimal times, taking the guesswork out of caring for your landscape.
