Question Answers
Can tree roots really cause damage to my Wilmington lawn, and what can Tarburton's do about it?
Yes, surface roots from trees like maples or willows are common here and can create tripping hazards and damage lawns. Tarburton's offers expert solutions. For mature trees, we can perform careful root pruning or install root barriers to manage growth. If a tree's location is causing significant issues, we provide safe tree removal and complete stump grinding to eliminate the problem and prepare the area for new landscaping, helping you reclaim a smooth, usable lawn.
How can professional shrub and tree care help with standing water in my yard?
Standing water often points to drainage issues related to your landscape's layout and plant health. Our shrub and tree care services address this directly. During landscape maintenance, we can regrade beds and improve soil composition to enhance water flow. For new plantings, we strategically place trees and shrubs to help absorb excess water. Furthermore, removing diseased or dead trees that aren't absorbing water efficiently, combined with stump removal, opens the soil to improve drainage and prevent soggy, damaged lawns common in Wilmington neighborhoods.
What's involved in your disease and insect management for trees and shrubs in our area?
Our disease and insect management is a proactive health program for your plants. We start with a thorough inspection to identify common local threats like fungal diseases or boring insects. Treatment may involve targeted, environmentally responsible applications and cultural practices like proper pruning to improve air circulation. Keeping your trees and shrubs healthy is crucial—a stressed plant is more susceptible to pests and diseases that can weaken it, leading to safety hazards, the need for removal, and contributing to broader yard issues like poor drainage from decaying root systems.
