Lawn Repair

Core Aeration

This service is completed in the fall. Core aeration gives your lawn’s roots better access to the air, water, and nutrients it needs to thrive next year. Price based on square footage.

This add-on service helps to:

Enhance Soil and Root Health: Core aeration breaks up compacted soil, enabling better penetration of air, water, and nutrients. This process encourages deeper and more widespread root growth, leading to stronger and healthier grass.

Improve Water and Nutrient Efficiency: By increasing soil permeability, core aeration allows water and nutrients to reach the root zone more effectively, enhancing overall lawn vitality.

Boost Lawn Resilience: Core aerated lawns have deeper root systems, which improve drought tolerance and strengthen disease resistance. Healthier grass is also more effective at outcompeting weeds, contributing to a robust and dense lawn.

Optimize Conditions for Growth: Core aeration supports thicker and denser grass growth, enhancing curb appeal. It also creates ideal conditions for overseeding by getting better contact with seed to soil.

Liquid Aeration

Liquid aeration uses a soil-loosening solution to break up compaction and improve airflow deep into the root zone. It’s a no-mess, stress-free alternative to traditional core aeration.

Why Choose Liquid Aeration?

Complete Lawn Coverage: Liquid aeration reaches 100% of your lawn, including narrow or hard-to-reach areas that traditional core aerators can’t access

Deeper Penetration: Loosens soil more effectively at greater depths than standard core aeration.

No Cleanup Needed: Leaves your lawn looking clean with no plugs, no mud, no disruption.

Hassle and Stress-Free: No need to mark sprinkler heads, pet fences or underground lines. Just schedule and go.

Overseeding

When done in late summer/fall, overseeding introduces fresh seed and lays the foundation for a thicker, healthier lawn. Price based on square footage.

This add-on service helps to:

Enhance Lawn Density and Beauty: Overseeding thickens up the lawn overall, resulting in a denser and more visually appealing lawn that is more resilient to foot traffic.

Promote Natural Weed Control: A thicker lawn from overseeding crowds out weeds by denying them space to spread.

Improve Overall Lawn Health: Overseeding the lawn annually keeps the grass thick, helping to shade the soil and prevent environmental stresses like drought.

Lime/Soil Boost

Balance Soil pH: Lime adjusts the soil pH to a more neutral range, which is crucial for optimal grass growth. Most grasses thrive in a pH range between 6.0 and 7.0. Lime helps raise the pH of acidic soils, making essential nutrients like calcium, magnesium, and phosphorus more available to the grass

Enhance Nutrient Uptake: By balancing the soil pH, lime improves the availability and absorption of nutrients. This results in a healthier, more robust lawn. Lime also adds essential nutrients directly to the soil, further nourishing the grass

Improve Soil Structure and Microbial Activity: Lime promotes a healthier soil environment by enhancing microbial activity, which helps break down organic matter and improve soil structure. This leads to better water penetration, creating a more supportive environment for grass growth

Slice-Seeding

This method is used to repair areas in the lawn with bare/damaged turf by delivering grass seed directly into the soil during fall, when weather patterns and temperatures allow them the best chance to grow deep, strong roots.

This add-on service helps to:

Improve Seed-to-Soil Contact and Germination: Slice-seeding creates small slits in the soil to deposit grass seed, ensuring optimal seed-to-soil contact. This enhances germination rates and leads to quicker, more robust growth.

Ensure Even Seed Distribution: The slice-seeding will distribute seed evenly, preventing patchy growth and ensuring a uniform, aesthetically pleasing lawn.

Protect Seed from Displacement: Our slice-seedings may include a top cover that helps to protect the seed from the sun and retain moisture in the newly seeded areas.

How do aeration, over-seeding and slice-seeding work together?

icon Step 1:
Ground is aerated, which leaves visible plugs of dirt on top of the grass. This helps to prepare the soil for seed.

icon Step 2:
Lawn is broadcast overseeded to help keep all existing turf thick, full and healthy

icon Step 3:
Bare areas or parts of the lawn in need of repair will be slice-seeded. The slice-seeder makes cuts/slices into the soil while depositing seed into the grooves, giving you better results than just a surface seeding. This process also dethatches, with the loose clippings acting as a top dressing to hold in moisture.

Grub Curative

Grub curative is applied in the fall when an active grub infestation is present in your lawn. Once the infestation is under control, we highly recommend grub prevention next season (included in our Greening Plus program!) to keep them from coming back next year. Price based on square footage.
