Southern Magnolia Landscaping: Expert Landscaping Serving Houston, TX 77018

Common signs in our area include circular brown patches, thinning grass, or a white, powdery substance on blades. Houston's humidity creates a perfect environment for fungus. We first accurately diagnose the specific type, then apply targeted, professional-grade fungicides and recommend cultural practices, like proper watering times, to eliminate it and prevent recurrence.

Core aeration involves removing small plugs of soil from your lawn. This process is crucial here because our heavy clay soils compact easily, preventing water, air, and nutrients from reaching grass roots. By aerating, we relieve that compaction, allowing your lawn to breathe, absorb rainfall more effectively, and develop a deeper, healthier root system.

Absolutely. Poor drainage often worsens both fungus and compaction. We assess your yard's grading and soil composition, then implement solutions like adjusting the landscape slope, installing French drains, or amending the soil with organic matter. Improving drainage is a key step in creating a resilient lawn that can handle Houston's heavy rains.
