They never came to the house to repair the damaged lawn after repeated responses stating that they'd handle it and customer service was a top priority for them. Had a firewood delivery in the fall of 2021 and they backed their truck off the driveway pad at the side of the house, onto the lawn,...

It went very well. Don actually gave us the idea to put lawn in the area, as we were initially thinking we wanted another, better, pathway. We were out of town when the work was completed so came back to new landscaping. It took a couple of weeks for the new lawn to fill in, but now it looks...

Lawns questions, answered by experts

Some grass types grow better than others on hard dirt. For example, hardy grass types like perennial ryegrass and Kentucky bluegrass will grow better on tough soil. Keep in mind that you should still consider your area’s climate when deciding on a grass type.

There are several ways to decompose yard waste quickly. The first step is to move all debris into a compost bin or pile. From there, microorganisms, bacteria, and insects will break down the yard waste into compost. To speed things up, shred the waste into smaller pieces, add live worms to the pile, or introduce nitrogen-rich compost accelerators like grass clippings, coffee grounds, and manure. Turn the compost over every few days. This process, called aerating, allows oxygen to get in and accelerate decomposition.

Lawn aeration and dethatching are meant to solve the same problem, loosening up compacted soil so that the root systems can grow and receive more water, oxygen, and nutrients. Aeration is the gentler option and often the preferable one. Dethatching completely tears out the thatch layer of the lawn and can inadvertently yank out healthy grass if done incorrectly. Aeration loosens the soil and only removes small cores of it.

If you accidentally watered your grass too much during the winter months, try aerating your lawn to encourage absorption of the water into the soil and improve drainage. Dethatching your lawn can also help the solid recover from overwatering and encourage healthy root and stalk health in your grass.

Experts use precise equipment to break up compacted soil, promoting healthy root growth and nutrient absorption.
