Steve Petersen's Lawn & Tree Service | Certified Landscapers in Newton, NJ

Absolutely. Persistent dead spots in Newton lawns are often due to soil compaction, thatch buildup, or improper watering. Our lawn care service starts with a diagnosis to identify the root cause. We then implement targeted solutions like core aeration, overseeding with hardy grass varieties suited to our area, and adjusting your fertilization schedule. This approach doesn't just patch the problem—it revitalizes your entire lawn for long-term health.

This is a common issue in our area. We offer a couple of expert solutions. For less invasive surface roots, we can carefully grade and level the affected lawn area and reseed it. For more significant root systems causing damage, our tree care specialists can assess the tree's health and perform strategic root pruning or install root barriers. This protects your tree's health while saving your lawn, giving you a safe, level yard again.

Preventative tree care is key to a healthy landscape. Our services include professional pruning to maintain a strong tree structure, which can reduce the need for roots to seek stability and spread. We also provide health assessments to catch diseases early and recommend proper watering techniques for trees to discourage surface root growth. By caring for your trees properly, we help prevent many common causes of lawn damage before they start.
