Wood Lawn Company & More - Savannah's Best Landscaping

In Savannah's humid climate, the key is a multi-step approach: we start by removing existing weeds, then apply a quality pre-emergent herbicide before installing fresh mulch. We recommend using pine straw or hardwood mulch at proper depth (2-3 inches) and refreshing it annually. Our team also suggests installing landscape fabric beneath mulch in high-weed areas and maintaining clean edges to prevent weed encroachment from surrounding areas.

Bare patches in Savannah lawns are often caused by soil compaction, poor drainage, or pest damage common in our local conditions. We address this by first diagnosing the root cause—testing soil pH, checking for grubs, and evaluating drainage. Our permanent solutions include core aeration to relieve compaction, top-dressing with quality soil, overseeding with grass varieties suited to Savannah's climate, and implementing proper watering schedules. We also provide guidance on avoiding future damage from foot traffic or pet activity.

For optimal results in Savannah's growing season, we recommend quarterly professional maintenance: spring cleanup and preparation, summer weed control and irrigation checks, fall aeration and overseeding, and winter protection. However, specific frequency depends on your property's size, existing landscape features, and particular challenges like weed-prone areas or drainage issues. We offer customized maintenance plans that address Savannah's unique seasonal needs while fitting your budget and schedule.
