Absolutely. While we focus on shrub health, we understand that tree roots can cause lawn damage. Our approach includes assessing the entire landscape. We can prune or transplant shrubs to improve light and airflow for the lawn, and our core aeration service (part of our lawn care) specifically targets soil compaction often worsened by roots, helping your grass recover and grow stronger.

Compacted soil prevents water from penetrating properly, leading to runoff and thirsty roots. Our irrigation repair and maintenance service ensures your system delivers water efficiently and evenly at the right pressure. This deep, consistent watering helps keep the soil structure healthier and works in tandem with our aeration services to combat compaction, ensuring your lawn and shrubs get the hydration they need.

For areas with root damage or compaction, we recommend a multi-step process. First, we address the lawn with aeration and overseeding. Then, for new shrub planting, we carefully prepare the site by amending the soil to improve its structure and drainage, which is crucial in our local soil conditions. This integrated approach ensures both your new shrubs and existing lawn have a healthy foundation to thrive.
