Wiltse Greenhouse Landscaping & Lawncare | Professional Landscaping in Maple Park, IL

Bare patches are common here, often due to compacted soil, heavy thatch, or disease. The most effective fix starts with diagnosing the root cause. We gently aerate the area to relieve compaction, apply a high-quality grass seed blend suited for our Illinois climate, and top-dress with nutrient-rich compost. This promotes deep root growth for a durable, seamless repair that blends with your existing lawn.

Lawn fungus in our area often appears as irregular brown or yellow patches, rings, or spots with discolored blades. It's crucial to correctly identify the specific fungus, as treatments vary. We recommend a professional assessment. Our approach involves improving airflow and drainage, adjusting your mowing and watering habits, and applying a targeted, eco-conscious fungicide if necessary to stop the spread and help your lawn recover.
