Suarez Landscaping Services - Miami's Experienced Landscaping Services

Tree root damage is common here. We recommend a professional assessment to determine if root pruning or aeration is needed. Often, we can carefully prune surface roots and then re-grade and re-sod the affected area with a grass variety better suited for shade and root competition, like certain St. Augustine cultivars, to prevent recurrence.

In Miami's humidity, fungus is a prime suspect. Look for patterns like circular spots, powdery residue, or a slimy layer. Many other issues, like chinch bugs or improper watering, can mimic fungus. It's best to have us diagnose it; we can identify the specific pathogen and apply the correct fungicide treatment, paired with cultural practices to keep it from returning.

Prevention is key. We advise a consistent schedule of proper mowing, deep but infrequent watering in the morning, and regular fertilization tailored to South Florida soil. Aeration and dethatching also improve soil health and drainage, making your lawn more resilient against diseases and stress from tree root competition. We offer maintenance plans designed for our local climate.
