Tetrick Landscaping & Lawn Service - Elgin's Local Landscapers

Absolutely. We start by addressing the grading issue, which is often the root cause of both problems. Proper grading improves water runoff, preventing pooling. Then, we can reseed or sod the bare patches with grass varieties suited for our Elgin climate, ensuring a thick, uniform lawn that's more resilient to future issues.

This is common. Heavy shade and root competition can prevent grass growth. We offer a few expert solutions: strategic, professional tree pruning can thin the canopy to allow more light, or we can discuss disease/insect management if the tree's health is contributing. For a permanent solution, we can remove the tree and its stump, then properly grade and re-sod the area.

Beyond aesthetics, proper pruning is vital for tree health and safety. It removes dead or diseased limbs that could fall, especially during our storms. It also improves air circulation, which helps prevent fungal diseases common in our humid climate. For trees over bare patches, careful thinning allows sunlight to reach the grass below, helping your lawn recover naturally.
