SiteOne: Emergency Landscapers Serving Madison Heights, MI 48071

In our area, dead patches are often due to a combination of compacted soil and fungal issues like brown patch, exacerbated by humidity. The best fix starts with a soil test—we can help with that. For repair, we recommend aerating to relieve compaction, applying a targeted fungicide if needed, and overseeding with a durable, disease-resistant grass blend suited for Michigan's climate.

This is a frequent issue here, often from planting species not hardy to our zone or suited to the site's sun/soil conditions. When replacing shrubs at our Madison Heights location, we'll help you select native or Michigan-tough varieties that are disease-resistant and matched to your yard's specific light and drainage. Proper planting depth and soil amendment are also key, which we can guide you through.

For effective, preventative care, we recommend a core set of supplies: a slow-release, granular fertilizer formulated for Northern lawns, a broadleaf weed control for common invaders like dandelions, a soil pH test kit, and a supply of mulch to protect plant roots and retain moisture. Having these basics from SiteOne allows you to address most local issues proactively as seasons change.
