Smith Remodeling & Landscaping - Gainesville's Local Landscapers

Exposed roots are common with our local palm varieties. We carefully assess the tree's health and the surrounding area. Our approach prioritizes the tree's stability and your safety. Solutions can include strategic mulching to protect roots and soil, creating gentle mounding or grading to blend the area, or installing attractive, permeable hardscaping that allows for healthy growth without creating a tripping hazard.

Chinch bugs love hot, sunny St. Augustine grass, common here. First, we confirm the infestation. Treatment involves applying targeted, effective insecticides. For lasting prevention, we recommend core aeration to improve soil health, adjusting your irrigation schedule to avoid over-watering (which attracts them), and considering chinch bug-resistant grass varieties for any new sod installations. A healthy lawn is your best defense.

Absolutely. As a full-service remodeling and landscaping contractor, we seamlessly manage combined projects. For example, we can repair lawn damage from chinch bugs or root exposure and then install or repair adjacent patios, walkways, or retaining walls. This integrated approach ensures cohesive design, proper drainage, and a single point of responsibility, saving you time and ensuring a flawless finish for your Gainesville home.
