Trujillos Landscaping | Professional Landscaping in Waukegan, IL

The most effective treatment starts with proper identification of the specific fungus, as Waukegan's climate can host several types. We begin with a thorough inspection of your lawn's condition and soil. Treatment typically involves a combination of targeted fungicide applications, adjustments to your watering schedule to reduce moisture, and core aeration to improve soil health and prevent future outbreaks.

Incorrect grading causes water to pool near your home's foundation, which in Waukegan's climate can lead to basement flooding, foundation cracks, and soil erosion. We fix this by expertly regrading your lawn using specialized equipment to create a gentle slope that directs water away from your house. This often involves adding or removing soil and ensuring proper compaction for a lasting solution that protects your property's integrity.

We generally recommend addressing severe grading problems first. Standing water from poor drainage creates the constantly damp environment where lawn fungus thrives. By correcting the grading to ensure proper water runoff, you eliminate a key cause of the fungus. We can then effectively treat any existing fungal disease, resulting in a healthier lawn that's more resilient against future issues common in our area.
