If you?ve ever wanted your landscaping to make your neighbors envious, we can help! We create unique landscape designs in the Lowcountry; specializing in custom landscape solutions, landscape lighting, drip irrigation, as well as routine property maintenance.

"Frank is a highly skilled expert in his field. He took our yard from grass to a complete resort-like feel with his hardscaping and landscaping design. From our first meeting with him, we knew he was our contractor. He listened to what we wanted and not only provided us with that design, but also gave his input as to what he would do if it were his yard. Ultimately, we combined the designs and couldnâ t be happier with our transformation. It went from a dream to a beautiful realty in a matter of weeks. Once the work started, Frank and his awesome team, Billy and Gary, were here every day until the project was done and did not take any jobs in between. Meticulous, dependable and clean workmanship, these gentlemen were the nicest men we have had the pleasure to work with. Even all the neighbors commented on their courtesy and how hardworking they were. We highly recommend them!! If we could give them more than 5 stars, we would certainly do that! We posted pictures here, but don't think the pictures do it enough justice."

Lawns questions, answered by experts

If you have a beautifully thriving yard with no bald spots, you can choose to aerate your yard once every two years. Otherwise, having your lawn aerated at least once a year is recommended. And in those circumstances where you have a significant amount of thatch buildup or a thinning and bald yard, it's best to aerate twice a year to maintain a healthy lawn.

Overseeding after aeration is not always necessary, but it can be highly beneficial, especially for lawns with thin or patchy areas. Aeration creates an optimal environment for new grass seed germination by improving soil contact and reducing competition from thatch. If you aim to thicken your lawn, address bare spots, or introduce a new grass variety, overseeding immediately after aeration can help rejuvenate and enhance your lawn's overall health and appearance. However, whether you overseed or not depends on your specific lawn goals and condition.

There are a few time periods or conditions during which you should avoid aerating your lawn. For example, do not aerate when the ground is frozen or waterlogged, as it can damage the soil structure and grass roots. Aerating during the peak of summer heat or drought is also not recommended since it can stress your grass further. It's best to wait for cooler, more favorable conditions. Finally, newly seeded lawns should not be aerated until the grass is well-established, usually at least one year after seeding.

Post-dethatching, lawn recovery includes watering, fertilizing, and reseeding as necessary to restore health and promote growth.

Both aerating and scarifying your lawn can offer serious benefits. Aerating pokes holes in the soil to better allow air, moisture, and nutrients to permeate while scarifying removes the buildup of dead plant matter at the soil’s surface. Most lawns require both of these maintenance items to thrive.
