Renovations
Whether you're lawn has been neglected for years or, or maybe drought has taken a toll on it, you've made up your mind that it needs help. The amount of revitalization required depends on how much damage there is. We can help no matter what the degree of repair needed.

Renovation involves planting grass seed into an existing lawn area, often adding new grass varieties to repair damage or increase tolerance to drought, shade, or wear. Renovation usually isn't necessary until approximately 30-40% of the lawn is bare or covered with weeds.

Renovation can include aeration, overseeding, power dethatching, power slice seeding, and grading.

Renovation should be considered if any of the following conditions exist in your lawn:

  • Approximately 30-40% of the lawn is dead or has very sparse growth. This may be due to a variety of factors such as low soil fertility, drought and heat, insect damage, poor mowing practices, disease, moderate soil compaction, or increasing shade and competition from growing trees.


  • The lawn is soft and spongy when walking across it and responds poorly to regular watering and fertilizer applications. This condition usually indicates excessive thatch (greater than 1/2 inch). Thatch is a layer of partially decomposed grass stems, roots, and rhizomes (not blades) at the soil surface but below the green vegetation.


  • Broadleaf weeds such as dandelion, plantain, and knotweed, or grassy weeds such as crabgrass cover about 20-40% of the lawn area.
