Landscaping South Burlington VT | Call Witness Tree Landscaping

Persistent standing water is a common issue here due to our soil composition and weather patterns. It can lead to mosquito breeding, lawn damage, and even foundation problems. Witness Tree Landscaping addresses this by first diagnosing the water flow on your property. Our solutions often involve regrading the land to promote proper runoff or installing French drains or dry wells to capture and redirect excess water, effectively solving the soggy yard problem at its source.

Lawn fungus in our humid Vermont climate often appears as discolored patches, rings, or slimy grass. It frequently thrives in areas with poor drainage. Our approach is twofold: first, we implement corrective measures like aeration and improving drainage to remove the damp conditions fungi love. Then, we apply targeted, professional-grade fungicide treatments to eliminate the existing disease and recommend a seasonal care plan to help your lawn resist future outbreaks.

Absolutely. In South Burlington, poor drainage and lawn fungus are closely linked. Soggy soil creates the perfect environment for fungal spores to take hold. By solving the drainage issue—through grading, drainage channels, or other systems—we remove the primary cause. This not only fixes the wet spots but also creates a healthier, drier root zone for your grass, making it much more resistant to disease and reducing the need for reactive treatments.
