Lawn Restoration Done Right

Most bad lawns are not your fault. The problem is usually under the grass. Hard, packed soil. The wrong pH. No food for the roots. Weeds move in fast when grass is weak.

Throwing down more seed or more fertilizer rarely fixes it. The seed sits on top of hard ground. The weeds come right back.

We fix the cause, not just the look. We start with a soil test. Then we loosen the soil, plant new grass, feed it and keep weeds out. Step by step, your lawn fills back in.

One customer switched to us after 25 years with a landscaper: “Our lawn has never looked so lush, beautiful and dandelion free. It’s great to finally use trained, certified and knowledgeable professionals. Who knew it was a job landscapers shouldn’t do.”

Signs Your Lawn Needs Restoration

Thin or bare spots. Grass that keeps thinning out, even when you water, is a sign the soil needs help.

Weeds are winning. If dandelions, clover, crabgrass or creeping Charlie cover more ground than your grass, it is time to restore.

Hard, packed soil. If a screwdriver will not push into the ground, roots cannot either. Water runs off instead of soaking in.

Brown patches in summer. Round brown spots in hot, humid weather often mean lawn fungus.

Too much shade. Grass under big trees slowly fades away. The right seed and the right care can help. As arborists, we can also tell you if pruning would let more light in.

After a flood, construction or a hard year. Floods leave silt and packed soil. Construction leaves poor dirt under the sod. A dry summer or skipped care can set a lawn back too.

Our Lawn Restoration Process

Here is how we bring a lawn back, step by step:

• Step 1. Free assessment and soil test: A technician walks your lawn and tests the soil for pH, food and packed ground.
• Step 2. Fix the soil: We correct the pH and add organic matter so roots can grow.
• Step 3. Control the weeds: We knock back weeds so new grass has room. We never kill weeds without planting grass, or the weeds just come back.
• Step 4. Aerate and overseed together: We pull small plugs of soil to open the ground, then plant new grass seed right away.
• Step 5. Feed the new grass: Organic-based feeding matched to your soil test helps the new grass root in.
• Step 6. Watch for problems: We check for fungus and other trouble and treat it early.
• Step 7. Keep it healthy: A seasonal lawn program (usually 5 to 6 visits a year) keeps your lawn thick for years.

When can you start? Any time of year. Most people call us in spring when they see the damage from winter. The best time to plant seed is late August to mid-October. If you start in spring, we can begin with the soil, feeding and weeds right away, and plan the seeding for the best window.
