Upstate Land Management | Professional Landscapers in Menominee, MI

We start by assessing the cause, often frost heave or equipment impact, common here. We then remove the compromised section, prepare a stable, deeper base to resist future frost, and install new, heavy-duty edging material—like steel or thick polymer—secured with extra-long spikes. This creates a durable barrier that can withstand our freeze-thaw cycles and look crisp for seasons to come.

We use expert techniques to address the root issue without harming the tree. This often involves carefully grading the soil to smooth over surface roots, then topping with a rich layer of compost and overseeding with shade-tolerant grass blends. For more severe cases, we can install a permeable root barrier or create a decorative mulch bed around the tree base, solving the lawn problem while enhancing your landscape's look.

Absolutely. For edging, we install it correctly the first time with proper depth and materials suited for our soil. For tree roots, our solutions like strategic grading and root barriers are designed to be long-term. We also provide tailored advice on tree species selection and placement for new plantings to minimize future conflicts between your lawn and your trees.
