Why does algae take hold so fast in the shaded corners of my Shallotte yard?
Because heavy foot traffic compacts the infill, and compacted infill holds the humidity off the Shallotte River longer than loose infill does, so a shaded, damp section of yard can crust up with algae here faster than a drier, less-trafficked spot would. TIMELESS Turf Restoration clears debris, power-brushes the compacted layer loose, rinses the organic buildup from the infill, applies a turf-safe algaecide and an antimicrobial follow-up.
Traffic packs the infill, and packed infill stays wet
A family yard with a trampoline, a soccer goal and a dog gets walked across far more than a retiree's lawn, and every pass compacts the infill a little more. Compacted infill drains slower and holds moisture longer.
The river adds what the traffic starts
Shallotte sits on the Shallotte River, and its humidity keeps any damp, trafficked section from drying out as fast as it would further from the water. That's enough moisture for algae and mildew to establish where a drier yard elsewhere wouldn't grow it.
Removal, and a brush that keeps the infill from repacking
We clear debris, power-brush the matted layer loose, flush the buildup out, then apply a turf-safe algaecide and an antimicrobial follow-up. Regular power brushing between visits keeps the infill from compacting back down.
