Common Questions

What's the most common lawn fungus in Detroit, and how do you treat it?

In Detroit, we frequently see diseases like Brown Patch and Dollar Spot, which thrive in our humid summers. We start with a proper diagnosis, as treatment varies. Our approach combines targeted fungicide applications with cultural practices like improving soil drainage and adjusting mowing heights to create a healthier, more resilient lawn that can resist future outbreaks.

Why does my rock garden shift every winter, and can it be fixed?

This shifting is a classic Detroit issue caused by our harsh freeze-thaw cycles, which heave the soil and rocks. Yes, it can be permanently fixed. We repair it by excavating the area, installing a proper gravel base for drainage, and resetting the stones with a stabilizing polymeric sand. This creates a locked-in, durable surface that won't shift with the seasons.

Do you offer preventative care to stop these problems before they start?

Absolutely. Prevention is key in our climate. For lawns, our seasonal maintenance programs include aeration, proper fertilization, and soil amendments to boost disease resistance. For hardscapes, we ensure new installations are built with adequate base materials and drainage from the start. A small investment in preventative care saves significant time and money on repairs later.
